This is the first time I drank Doubleday in the last year!
It is made from a fantastic sake rice called Koraiyako, and I was curious to buy it because I had never seen it before, except for a special junmai from Yamaguchi Prefecture's Yamazaru, which I had drunk before!
It has a sweet aroma of tropical fruits reminiscent of pineapple, and at the same time, it gives a mild impression!
It has a refreshing mouthfeel and a juicy sweetness that is typical of nama-zake,
The full-bodied umami and bitterness soon arrive, giving it a deep and calm feeling. ✨️
The sweetness is not persistent and disappears quickly, making it very easy to drink and enjoy☺.
It says "Kakaragoto"...what kind of sake is it...I've never seen it before...
I had an image of W as sweet, but it is dry.
But it is very juicy.

A gem brewed with sake rice "Guriyanto", which was once used as a gift rice for the Emperor.
I was surprised to find out that it is a Junmai Daiginjo, even though it claims to be Junmai!
A fresh and gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of lush meadows and apples!
From the clear mouthfeel, the rice flavor is lightly grainy, with a soft sweetness reminiscent of white peaches and a touch of sourness that finishes with a rather long aftertaste.

drinking at home
Purchased at a new liquor store I met that has a corner bar.
This is delicious! The balance of aroma, sweetness, acidity, and bitterness is my favorite.
I would like to try other sake brewed with different rice.

After the birthday party, we went to a sake specialty restaurant called Chishinliao on Linsen N. Rd. in Taipei 🍶.
The second bottle tonight was from Watanabe Sake Brewery😊, a favorite of both of us.
We started drinking it cold, but it was a little sweet. As it got closer to room temperature, the sweetness subsided 🙆It was a very nice after-party.
The manager served us some more and we ended up drinking almost a full bottle 😓.
