What to drink at the end?
Is it just me, or do you feel like drinking something sharp and dry at the end of the day?
So, Black Beef!
But this is my first sake!
It's dry and refreshing!
It's a little bit soft in the middle of all that.
It's almost as dry as I wanted it to be!
With Soba noodle to finish it off!
But I didn't take any photos of the food, including the Soba 😭
I thought I did 😱.
Today was another hard day at work, but a fulfilling day (or so I think) 😜!
Hi Takashi 😃
I know what you mean 🤗I love a good dry sake to end the day 👍
Soba and dry sake is the best 😙A good cup of sake will make your day full of life 😄.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😊
I knew you were right 😉 Good to hear lol.
We ended up with zaru soba and dry sake! 😋.
I like sweet and tasty too, but this is The end of the meal! I like sweet and savory, but this is the end of the meal!

Impression Autumn earth. Heavy.
Rice-bran type. Heavy aroma of grain type.
The depth is similar to that of Shaoxing wine.
It would go well with Chinese food.
I bought it at a long-established pickle shop in Nara. I was recommended to buy some Nara-zuke, but I declined because I had already bought some. The aroma and texture are mild, but the sweet and sour taste spreads in the mouth.
A rare cup of black beef sake in Okayama
It may be the best match for miso nikomi nabe...✨
The mild and full flavor will keep you drinking it forever without getting tired of drinking it ^ ^ ^.
It's so good 😋.
I found a liquor store while I was out.
I just had to order it!
Wakayama Prefecture's Kuro-gyu - not clear, colorless, unfiltered, raw sake!
It is very tasty!

The regular product is made from Gohyakumangoku, but this limited edition is made entirely from Yamada-Nishiki.
but this limited edition is made entirely from Yamada-Nishiki, a very luxurious and high-cost sake.
This is a very luxurious and high-cost sake!
The fresh aroma of freshly squeezed sake is slightly subdued.
The sweetness and umami spread beautifully and abundantly without any cloying taste.
It is crisp with just the right amount of acidity and spiciness.
1,694 yen including tax for 720ml.
This is an autumn limited model of Kurogyu.
Polishing ratio: 50% for koji rice and yeast, 60% for kake rice
Sake degree +7
Mmmm.
It's good. Laughing...
I thought it would be dry, but it has a strong umami flavor.
No, it is dry, but not crispy dry, but dry with umami, which is typical of Kurogyu.
Autumn swordfish, bonito, and green fish.
Indeed, this may be a versatile sake that goes well with autumnal delicacies (fish (≠ snacks) in season).
It is also inexpensive, so there is no harm in buying it.
We hope you will try it, too.
