Drinking outside at Kanbei Sake Mamoru for the 8th anniversary celebration.
This will be the first time to drink at this restaurant, too.
The rice used is 100% Yamadanishiki from Tojo, Hyogo Prefecture.
Polishing ratio is 60%.
The alcohol content is 16-17 degrees.
The aroma has a muscat aroma typical of Yamadanishiki, and gently rises to the surface.
The sake poured into the sake cup has a slight yellow tinge.
In the mouth, it has a thick and smooth texture. The strong umami spreads in the mouth, followed by an early onset of acidity and bitterness, which is followed by a slight stimulation that tightens the flavor.
Easy to drink.
Hello, Daddy Takeru 😃!
It was a good outing, starting with Shinmasa, followed by the first drink of Jiikin and Jyushiyo!
We've only been a few times, Kanbei-san, do you go there often?
Jay & Nobby, thanks for the rice 😊.
This time, because of the anniversary celebration, we reserved seats and had a drink outside.
Kanbei, I have the impression that it is very difficult to get in. I kept giving up on getting in the last few times because the restaurant was full 😅.

Three different types of drinks with different rice varieties and milling ratios. The handsome gorilla of Aichi
At one point, the price of sake skyrocketed, but Gikyo kept its original contract and continued to offer sake without regard to profitability, and was given the name "Gikyo" by a retail merchant for its spirit of "righteousness and chivalry.
A 30 minute, one drink comparison!

The aroma is sweet.
When you drink it, it has a strong rice flavor.
The impression is powerful, as it should be.
Taste level ☆ 3.5/5

I bought this sake when I was in Nagoya on a business trip.
The hotel was next door to a slightly larger liquor store, so I just ended up... (LOL)
I really like the strong richness and the aroma of the rice. It is a sake that gives you a big thump.
It has a very nice, subtle sweetness to it. Is it sweetness? ...(^◇^;)
It is a rich, mellow sake with a gorgeous aroma and a full mouthful of rice flavor.
I am always in love with the old-fashioned label that never blurs.

It looks almost transparent with a slight smear of color. However, when you take it into your mouth, the "nigori" (a trickle of nigori) softly adds a mellow nuance. The first impression is a full taste with the umami of the rice. However, it is not too heavy, but rather well-balanced, clear, and elegant.
The strength and delicacy of Yamadanishiki from Tojo, Hyogo Prefecture's special A district coexist, with a full-bodied, deep flavor. When you hear the word "ogara-mi," you may imagine it to be sweet, but this one has a slight sweetness with a sharpness that goes through it easily, giving it a pleasant feeling that you will never get tired of drinking it.
It has the freshness of a new sake and the core flavor of a chivalrous man. There is nothing flashy about it, but it quietly conveys that it was brewed with care. It is a deeply delicious sake that you will want to enjoy slowly with a meal.
