It is quite dry! But easy to drink ◎.

First of the first 3 tasting flight. Even though some age, still had freshness of a Nama Genshu Muroka. Rare to have a Shimane nihonshu but this quite enjoyable. As noted in my last post address of sushiya is wrong; it’s in Shirokanedai 6-chome now.

Junmai Daiginjo that is matured for one to three years before shipping.
This one is about 1 year old.
The aroma is gentle and elegant, and the characteristic bitterness is moderate.
The sweetness, acidity, and moderately delicate matured umami are abundant and powerful but not heavy.
Plenty of powerful yet beautiful without being heavy.
Amazingly well-balanced and addictive 😋.
The bubbly sensation is rampant!
The flavor is milky with some amazake-like nuances. Delicious.
O-roku, I've had it before, but I didn't know it was a Shimane sake until I saw the word Izumo: ✏️
Second one today at Ryukyu Glass.
The first bottle of Kozaemon was too delicious
I was so happy with the second one!
from a convenience store.
I had the second one with vegetable sticks with koji miso mayonnaise.
It was a super king's stipend dry sake.
Vegetable sticks and sake are an endless loop.
