Purchased at a roadside station today while visiting Tamba to purchase sansho (Japanese pepper).
Sansho is to be served as a snack with sake.
Sake is not sold at the SA, but it is available at the roadside station.
I will have it.
Welcome back Tora, thank you for everything 😃Congratulations on the 1400 check-in, even though it's late 🎊The elder, I've never had it, but it looks delicious 😋.
This sake is labeled "chestnut and matsutake mushroom," which is very autumnal, but for some reason I drink it in the spring.
It is a dark sake with a strong umami flavor, perhaps because it is a Yamahai sake. It is a relatively easy to drink sake.
The sake is easy to drink. The snacks are mackerel miso and o-nishime, which are also somewhat autumnal.
I don't know what it is, but it is a delicious sake.
It's a house drink🎶.
It was a gift 😊.
I assumed it would be better if it was heated up! So I heated it up 🍶.
Great decision 👌😍
I think it's in the dry category but it's not that dry, it's round and umami 👌👌👌👌
bouken, in your recent post, you commented that you haven't had any sake from the northern part of Kyoto (Kameoka, Tanba).
I may be the first person to live in Kyoto and drink northern sake at home😅.
Good evening, bouken😊.
It was my first time to drink it and it was delicious heated 😊.
I had a little bit of cold sake and a little bit of hiya later but it was classic and not for me 😅

◾️The best sake is found in remote villages: ⁉︎
Fushimi (Fushimizu) is Kyoto's most famous sake, but there is also a delicious sake in Kyotamba.
It has a bright, mountain-bright color and a fruity aroma...when you put it in your mouth, the unpolished yet robust flavor will spread.
Junmai Ginjo made with rice, water, koji, and a toji who was born and raised in Kyotamba, and who focuses on all the ingredients from Kyotamba. The sake rice is Gohyakumangoku. The well water from the subsoil of the Choro Mountains in Kyotamba has a soft quality and a gentle, mellow finish.
Choro, the only sake brewery in Kyotamba Town, was established in 1903. It has consistently and diligently brewed locally produced sake that is not flashy, is not influenced by the times, and is loved by the locals.
Just add some grilled tamba shimeji mushrooms or vegetables from Kyotamba with salt and enjoy the blissful taste. The light sweetness on the palate gives way to the full flavor of the rice.

A beautifully grilled baby ayu fish. The next sake was Tanba Ichidokoro. It was served chilled. It has a full flavor. It might be better to raise the temperature. Lonely Kyoto with no one around due to the typhoon.
