Today was a very long day of driving for me personally😅.
I bought 2 bottles at Miyajima Sake Shop in Ueda City, 1 bottle at Shinshu Kamerei Sake Brewery, 2 bottles at Sake-no-Osaka-ya in Chikuma City, and 1 bottle at Sakeho Seimizuya in Saku City before heading home: ❗️
On the way home, I bought an apple🍎 and some Japanese sweets at Hanaoka, a confectionery in Higashiomi-shi that serves delicious walnut sweets [this is important ❗️]. I emptied the bottle of Yamasan I opened last night for a late dinner and opened a bottle of Masumi Junmai Ginjo Arabashiri barrel sake I bought today. ‼️
The smell was not fruity fruit, but ?
It was festival barrel sake❗️
It's obvious❗️ I can normally drink room temperature barrel sake in front of the festival office, and it was delicious 😋.
Sannomiya drinking⑦
We finished our drinking comparison at Asano Sake Shop 😁.
I felt there was a bit of bitterness. Next time, I would like to drink it carefully instead of comparing.
It was a nice morning drinking experience to drink some sake that I have never had before 😊.
It had a citrusy aroma. There was sweetness and then bitterness. It had a sharp aftertaste with sourness. It was delicious.
Two years ago, I used to drink this sake between beers because I liked its richness.
It has been a long time since I last drank Masumi, but today it was just a regular tasty sake. I wondered if the recent sake is no longer the traditional sake or if my taste buds have changed.
I bought this sake for drinking at the hotel just to try it out. This was a nice, coherent sake. It is elegant, has a good richness, and has a nice aroma. My partner and I both appreciated it very much. If I buy it again, I would like to bring it home in a 4-gou or 1-sho bottle.

Aroma
Ginjo aroma with a hint of grain
The quality of the sake is very soft.
It is typical of Masumi.
Strong sweetness and acidity
It is like candy.
But the aftertaste is short.
17 degrees is not good.
