Shinkame's Mahojin Junmai.
This Shinkame's Mahojin was produced in November 2013 and came to our house after 7 years at the liquor store.
The last time I posted about it was in March 2023, the day before the WBC final. Two and a half years have passed since then and it is almost 12 years old.
In my last post, the main dish was also gratin.
I warmed it up hot.
The aroma of maturity and the hard flavor, not unlike that of Ihyakumangoku, spread out more powerfully.
It goes well with cream and cheese in gratin.
We had about 2 cups left and finished it.
It takes a long time to grow such a matured sake 😅.
I will cherish another encounter and time.

I was told about a slightly more expensive restaurant. In that situation, I'd have to go with someone older! I'm the oldest in my current company, so I like to have a previous work relationship!
The person I secretly called my mentor at my previous company came to my next new job at my current company (complicated 💦) and he talked about me. Of course, I wanted to drink with both of them, the "some people drink very much, don't they?" type 🤣 so we put it all together and had a drink🎶.
The main drink at the restaurant was hot sake. There was a lot of Shinkame I had never seen before. The old sake was easy to drink when heated, and since we drank it in small doses, we didn't get drunk. It was expensive (but we were served a lot, thank you 😊) but we will go there again.

I will post the orange label, which is rare, I think.
The Ine Mankai hot sake we had to finish off the meal was absolutely delicious.
The only dish I'm posting is steamed matsutake mushrooms in an earthenware teapot. Everything we ate was delicious.
Thanks Peco!
Ane, good evening 🌆I will go back there even though it's expensive (no matter how expensive if my boss will pay for everything). I'm a rough person at heart as I seem to be writing 😇.
Good evening, Ane 😃.
I'm interested in finding a restaurant that mainly serves hot sake, and this one looks awesome too 🥰 I'd like to try the standard Shinkame, Ine Mankai, which is a delicious cloudy sake, and the clear sake, but it's also delicious heated 🥰.
Good morning, Manachy 😃.
Such () situation is too convenient 🤣 I like your honesty. I wonder if there isn't one: 🙂↔️
Back in the day, I was well and truly annoyed when my bitter boss did that to me 😆.
Good morning, Mr. Arai😄.
So you only had one drink last night! Yes, let's go again. With Osakamura on 😆 We would love to hear about your company there!
Good morning, ichiro18 😁.
It's a place called Horyo in Shinbashi. I liked the dry sake softened by heating it up. I first tried Ine Mankai hot sake. That's how I got hooked!
Good morning, Peco!
Thank you 💖It's a good day when the idea came to me! I found a group of people who I thought would be able to make it, so I went for it. Everyone was happy to see me.
Well, the drinks are on the house 💦.
Hi tomo ✨
Is it an adult store where smoking is allowed but perfume is not 😄I'm already taking my accommodation around here when I go there from Osake Village 😄.

Sake with a strong old sake feel.
It is like a peculiar barley shochu (Kanpachi for example). There is a store called "Snack Tani" in the triangle of Sangenjaya, and the aroma like coffee shochu and too persistent barley shochu smell fight each other.
It also has a bitterness like chocolate,
But it's not the kind of taste I look for in sake.
But it is not the kind of taste we want in Japanese sake.
When it is heated up, the bitterness expands and it is a little better. It's also a little spicy.
But it's still a bit harsh.
