Just a reminder 🙏.
I was drinking alone in Yokogawa and happened to meet up with someone I know 😅.
He took me to the third izakaya "Tooya" which serves sake 🍶.
The first drink was a super-harsh junmai sake. The first glass was a super-harsh junmai sake, which was quite spicy, but not just dry, it was delicious🤗.

The first words out of your mouth are "Delicious!" 🍶 The acidity is combined with the umami of the rice to create a clear and refreshing taste. It has a refreshing mouthfeel, just like a summer sake. I drank it up as fast as I could today 😅.
However, as the temperature rises, the umami disappears. The bitterness comes forward, so drink it the way you like it.
Personally, I prefer it chilled 😊.
