A punchy nigori sake that does not lose any of its alcohol content when served on the rocks. It is both refreshing and drinkable, but may be dangerous when your body is fatigued from the summer heat.
Sake Katsudo at Pojiya (3)
The third sake, "Hanaboe Mizuhashiroshi Nama-zake", has been served at Pojiya before, so I'll skip it.
The number of postings is getting out of sync with the number of sakes, but here is the 4th sake 🍶.
Yonemune "Perfect fermentation, Yamahai yeast yeast, Junmai Ginjo-shu, unfiltered, raw sake"!
The aroma has a hint of cemedine, the mouthfeel is slightly umami-driven with a sweet and sour sweetness, and the finish is clean with a touch of bitterness in the back of the throat.
When I first saw the name "Aoki Shuzo", I mistook it for the brewery of "Yukio", but it turns out there is a brewery of the same name in Aichi.
The high alcohol Yonemune has released a low alcohol version.
But even though it is low in alcohol, this mild flavor is very effective!
This is so delicious!
It is best at room temperature!
The sake is yellow and strong, just like its face.
Fully fermented is kind of scary. It has a rotten feeling. The alcohol content is 20.7 degrees, which is very aggressive. It's inexcusable, so I'm going to kill it.
Whenever I go to this store, I feel like I am recommended to drink Yonemune or Sogen. But they don't recommend XX Masamune, which has "Mune" in it.
The fifth drink served.
It was served in a sake cup, so I wondered if it was heated. I thought it was heated, but it was probably served at room temperature.
It had a nice aroma.

Buttery, mild caramel flavor… too heavy for sushi.
Let’s try this with a different meal later this week.
