GW! Enjoy Miso Tonchon at Chita Pork🐖 Hormone for a friend's visit. As the sun began to set, I had this one 🍶, which was refreshing and perfect for the evening breeze in May.

Last day of my business trip to Tokyo
After work, I went to the sake department of the Ikebukuro Tobu Department Store after a long time 🚃.
This brewery was having a tasting event there.
Shiraoi in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture
It was my first time to try this sake.
I compared four kinds of sake and bought this one.
The spiciness comes with a bang from the firm sweetness and umami 😋.
This flavor is not the trend, but I like it 🥰.
It's strong but spicy so you don't get tired of drinking it👍
Most of the sake here is consumed locally on the Chita Peninsula, so it's hard to get it out to the rest of the country.
This sake is made by Sawada Sake Brewery, which is not found even in Aichi. The color is a light yellow.
When heated, it has a delicate umami and a good burnt taste that you would not expect from a 90% polished sake, but it also has a sharpness with acidity.

The label has cool writing on it,
I have always been curious about Shiraoi Junmai Sake.
I was able to get it, so I chilled it a little and drank it.
I drank it a little chilled.
Aroma: Aroma of rice, typical of junmai sake.
Taste: Sweet and yet crisp.
Exquisite balance, not too rich.
It suits my taste and I like it.
I finished it in a few days after opening the bottle.
The taste changed little by little, becoming richer and richer, and it was delicious from start to finish.
