It's great that it's self-serve so you can control the amount of alcohol you drink 👏.
I want to drink a variety of drinks, so I'll have a little bit at a time 🍶.
Minami, a dry and unrefined sake that goes well with any meal 🍶.
I used to like Minami, a member of the Japanese men's volleyball team 🍶 I used to buy volleyballs for ❤️ months 🤪

Spicy and well-balanced.
It is a good food sake and goes well with sashimi.
It was great with bonito.
Special Junmai Betsuatsurai from Minami. This is a special junmai that has a fruity taste in the south. Pear type? The aroma is sweet and fruity. The taste is firmly based on the southern line, but it also has a fruity sweetness. It is a very southern yet not too southern taste, which is delightful and delicious.
It has a moderate, restrained aroma, and the sweetness of the rice spreads as you drink it. It has a nice sharpness, and can be used as a mid-meal drink. Delicious, highly recommended.

Up until now, my encounters with Minami have been limited to Tokujun, but this time it's Jun Dai!
Even though it is jun-dai, the ginjo aroma is subdued and gentle.
The mouthfeel is firm at first, but the clear and refreshing taste and the lingering aftertaste give it the character of jun-dai and make you feel the quality of a higher grade.
I guess you should drink Tokujun with fresh bonito tataki and Jun Dai with ayu fish from the clear stream⁉
The name "Ayu" is also "Ayu" 🤣.
PS. The real meaning of "An-yu" is different though.
Jay & Nobby, congrats 😆.
I was curious to know if they have Jun Dai in the south too 🤔 (of course they do 🤣).
Tokujun was a bit dry, but this one had sweetness, bitterness, and acidity all with a gentle touch 🐴. 👍️
