My car is in a bad mood and has not started since the other day😱.
I was on my way out of town when the engine stopped running, so I was in a real mess, but I'll tell you more about that 💦 when I get a chance.
I asked my husband to maintain my 🚗 (he's a jack-of-all-trades who does everything from stocking up on booze to car maintenance), so I'll be commuting by train for a while 🚆.
I will take advantage of the time in the car to post what I've been skipping 💦.
This is Jerry fish from Ago Ariki.
Definitely tingling and crackling💕 enough to feel the 🪼shimmering sensation of jellyfish.
The aroma is a bit milder. Maybe somewhat complex aroma. In the mouth, it tastes like muscat or rumminess, and it finishes with a slight lactic acidity that brings it all together.
This bottle of delicious and drinkable case was the perfect sake for a summer night 😋.

Sake rice Kame-no-o

The mouthfeel is clean, dry, and fruity. The lingering aftertaste is umami and finishes quickly. Delicious. My favorite dry wine.
Yura Sunset
Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Genshu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 15%.
It has a subtle aroma, a refreshing flavor, and a slightly dry, mild and full taste.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20250929 Dokuritsu
Slightly effervescent feeling. Good balance of umami and sweetness. The mouthfeel is firm and the throat is clean. It is also powerful, so it is good with strong dishes.
Kigawaya Hanpukai's special-order draft sake.
It has a deep flavor, a bit oozy and robust.
It is quite rich and fruity, with a sharp taste.
It has a tangy aftertaste.
The taste of grain lingers after the drink.
When heated, it has a strong flavor, but the aftertaste is clearer and easier to drink than cold sake.
Sweet and sour, it is very tart on the tongue, and then quickly fades away.

Purchased at usual liquor store.
I bought a different brand from Ago Ariki, which I had drunk before and enjoyed.
The aroma is quite intense with a fruity grape-like aroma.
The mouthfeel is not too strong, and there is a calm sweetness, but I can feel the weight for the flavor.
The last one I drank was packed with sweetness, so I guess it is totally different from that.
It seems to be fermented in the bottle, so we can enjoy the changes after the bottle is opened.
