Junmai Daiginjo indeed. It was a wonderful sake that lived up to its name.
It was a little old sake, but contrary to my expectations, the flavor remained without blurring, and I was able to finish the bottle without commenting on its original mellowness.
Mie Prefecture has a lot of sake. Please let me drink it again.

The second cup!
Dry, clean but tasty.
Paired with sauteed shiitake mushrooms recommended by the staff.
(I almost ate the shiitake mushrooms, but there were two more slices.

It was delicious again today!

Slide down to Takihitama.
Takihantou Junmai Daiginjo
We found a sweet-looking pink label for Takihantu. Surprisingly, it was not sweet, but rather mineral and refreshing. The brewer said it was more dry than sweet. A perfect food sake.
The sun was setting and the stalls started to light up.
Takihon Junmai-shu Kamiho
Full of flavor and not too sweet. A sake that will increase your appetite.
Delicious. However, I like it better when it is more matured than right after opening the bottle.
Drinking Mie Sake at Izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) in Tsu, the 2nd cup
Dry Junmai Taki Suiryu (Hayase) from Takihantu
The aroma is melon with melon-like sweetness.
Cool and refreshing on the palate.
The taste is dry, sharp and tingling on the tongue. ⚡️
On the other hand, it has a nice fruity flavor and is easy to drink.
The udon noodles with bonito broth and soft noodles will soak up the cold night.
Last Sunday, my friends and I went on a foliage tour to see the changing leaves of autumn 🍁.
We went to Muroji Temple and Akame 48 Waterfalls in Nara.
It was nice because it was hard to get there without a car and there were not many crowds 😄.
On the way back home, I went to Takihama Sake Brewery, which is open on holidays 😊.
Cold sake
Slight banana aroma, tropical fruit and mineral aroma.
Light and impressive acidity in the aftertaste
Slightly dry and pleasant to drink
Junmai-shu made from Kami no Ho, the official rice for sake brewing in Mie Prefecture.
Modest modern aroma, a little sourness at first, and the taste of rice later.
Not spectacular, but good for everyday drinking.
