It was raining and I had nothing to do, so I joined the Hachioji Hanamachi Sake Tour.
I think it is a good event to be able to enter stores that are difficult to see because of the lack of glass doors, or stores that are too high up for visitors to enter. The store owners seemed to have a lot of work to do.
The first restaurant we entered was, of course, a ramen shop where we could drink. I wanted to go there once, so I was glad to know the atmosphere.

The first sip gave the impression of dragging a bit of sweetness, but it settled down from the second day, and the acidity and slight bitterness seemed to tighten it up.
Koikuma was also made at this brewery.
Today, I went to a distant liquor store in the morning, and since I was down in the dumps after striking out on Jizokawa and Shinsei, I went to my usual famous sake store in the evening or so to regain my spirits and pick out some mellow sake: 😮💨
I told them that I wanted a refreshing, unpasteurized sake like Drunken Whale or Tedorigawa, and they recommended this one: ❗️ Nice to meet you, Mr. Zama🐎!
Let's start with the aroma: ❗️
I don't think the aroma is that strong this time either. I don't have a stuffy nose or anything, but I think it's just a little sweet. It's not too sweet, but it doesn't spread well in a wide-mouthed boar cup.
Now a sip ❗️🍶🐎
Oh, it's delicious! Delicious❗️ juicy sweetness that is typical of a fresh sake with a nice clean cut aftertaste❗️It's quite a bit sweeter than I thought it would be, but it's just plain delicious❗️
It might be perfect because it's the kind of rhum juicy that I like and has a clean aftertaste😍It's so easy to drink that if I had tomorrow off, I'd open it for sure❗️🍶I prioritize brands I've never had, but my encounter with this 🍶 made up for this morning...it's on repeat🍶. ❗️
Good morning, Mr. Yoshiyoshi 😃!
I was rejected by Jigokin and Shinsei at a liquor store far away from here 😢 but I'm glad to find a good one near here 🤗Samma genuine! I took a note 📝!
