It was a year-end party at work.
I asked the waiter about the sake in the all-you-can-drink menu and he said it was Tsuki 🤔, but I've never had it before and I don't think I'll buy it myself, so I decided to try it.
If it wasn't all-you-can-drink, they usually have Kurehaaru and Akizuka...
Not too sweet, but not too pungent and easy to drink.
It doesn't have a big impact, but it's a well-balanced type, so it's really good during a meal...
I think it's better than Honmori or Koroshi.
We went to an izakaya with karaoke for the after-party, but I don't remember much 💦.
We stopped by Ikoma before the year-end party, but it was open on the way home, so we bought some sake and went home 🤣.
It was about 1am when I got home.
Year end party next week too 😇
As described, it has a thick mouthfeel. However, it is doubtful if it has fruitiness. There is no peachiness, a strong unpleasant alcohol taste after swallowing, and a bitter taste that interferes with the sweetness.

Third Fushimi purchase! A great value with a nice label. The clerk explained what I initially thought was "this one," saying, "This is a melon. The clerk explained, "This is a melon, and we also have peaches. I thought, "Well, I guess I'll have the peach," and bought this one.
I tried it and found it to be a peach. It was easy to drink. It's a juice. The time goes by while listening to Christmas songs and the Ninth Symphony. It's delicious.

The aroma of cooked rice is discreet. In the mouth, it has a mild umami flavor and a clean, straightforward taste. The aftertaste is short, but leaves a slight warmth. As the last bottle in this series, this bottle reaffirms the overall impression. Although it is not flashy, it has an honest and quiet pleasantness.

Today, I drank a Gekkeikan from Kyoto Prefecture.
One of Gekkeikan's particular selections.
Purchased at Aeon Liquor Shop in Kakamigahara City.
The aroma is a nutty ginjo aroma.
It is dry, so the sweetness is moderate. However, the sweetness of the rice lingers in the aftertaste as the umami flavor is asserted from the first sip.
Mild rice aroma with subtle floral and plum nuances. It has a soft sweetness, light acidity, and a clear sense of alcohol, with a slightly long aftertaste for a simple daiginjo. The expression of the sake suddenly changes as it enters the mouth, giving the impression that it has arrived from somewhere "behind the scenes.
Clean rice aroma with soft florals and a hint of plum. Gentle sweetness, light acidity and clear alcohol warmth, with a finish longer than expected for a A quiet little twist on the palate-almost like it came straight from the Upside Down.
Today I walked around Jimbocho a bit, picked up a couple of sake books I was curious about, and went home.
In the evening, I opened a bottle of THE SHOT Junmai Ginjo.
The aroma is of cooked rice and white fruits (melon, white grapes). The impression is slightly thickened. The taste is fruity, with a hint of white chocolate sweetness. There is a slight alcohol assertion. The aftertaste is medium to short. A bottle that can be enjoyed casually.
Picked up a few sake books in Jimbocho this afternoon and opened this "THE SHOT Junmai Ginjo" in the evening.
Aromas of steamed rice and white fruits (melon, white grape). Fruity palate with a touch of white chocolate and a bit of alcohol warmth. Medium-short finish.
A cup in the evening when the autumn sun is still warm. The aroma is modest, centered on cooked rice. In the mouth, it quickly becomes expressive, with nuances of slightly cooked fruit and faint purple flowers. The aftertaste is short but sweet, like white chocolate, with a slight alcohol taste. Overall, this wine is unpretentious and rather pleasant to drink.
The nose is rice-led and restrained. On the palate it opens up with cooked-fruit notes and a light violet hint. Short finish, with a touch of white-chocolate sweetness and a bit of alcohol heat. Overall, unpretentious and pleasantly easy to drink.
