I often drink Tamanomitsu, but where did the sake name come from? I was curious and looked at the website...
The beautiful sake name "Tamanomitsu" was given to the brewery by its founder, Nakaya Rokuzaemon, a devotee of the Kumano Hayatama-taisha shrine. The sake was given the precious name "Tamano Hikari" (meaning "sake with shining balls") in the hope that the spirits of the main deities, Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, would be reflected, or "shine," reflecting the light of their spirits. In Japan, it is rare to receive the name of sake from the priest of a shrine.
The sake offered as omizake is inseparable from the shrine. Tama" means "shining spirit. It is a very good name that evokes the spirit of shining sake," said Akira Ueno, chief priest of Kumano Hayatama-taisha Shrine.
We are grateful for the invisible power that transcends human knowledge in brewing sake with human hands. This awe of nature is also reflected in the sake's name.
The sake is named after the sake brewer.
Let's take a day off from drinking!
So I left the hotel and thought I'd have a light ramen.
But when I crossed the pedestrian crossing, I found a restaurant that caught my attention.
A yakitori restaurant with many bottles of wine lined up!
Let's take a peek!
We sit in the middle of the counter!
Looking at the menu, they have a little bit of Sake!
94?
It seems to be a sake associated with the skewers!
It's junmai ginjo, but the color is unbleached!
It's quite heavy!
But it seems to be designed by AI to go well with yakitori!

The manager and I got to know each other very quickly and talked about all sorts of things!
I'll be back again when I stay at this hotel 🏨.
I have an event on Saturday, so I have already made a reservation for tomorrow at my favorite restaurant, F-san!
extensive knowledge of the hotel and its facilities
The taste sensor "Leo", jointly developed by Keio University and AISSY Co.
Leo," a taste sensor with built-in AI (Artificial Intelligence), is used. It can quantify five basic tastes (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami) on behalf of the human tongue.
The degree of compatibility can be calculated for alcoholic beverages (cold drinks) and alcoholic beverages (cold drinks). The degree of compatibility is calculated by quantifying the taste of sake (cold, room temperature, and heated sake) and yakitori (sauce and salt), and then combining them.
The value is calculated by the combination of these two tastes.

Tamanomitsu, which I bought in Kyoto in February, is sold only in Kyoto.
(You can buy it at the online store, though.)
It is sweet, mild, and above all, the taste of rice and the acidity that lingers afterwards are exquisite. It is more impressive after 3 days than freshly opened.

Purchased at Joshin web. I sometimes buy sake from Joshin web because they have special prices on sake that I've never seen before. I buy it when I see it. It goes well with fish and salty food.
