You like sake, don't you? A gift from my aunt.
Thank you very much.
For some reason, when I get sake as a souvenir, it is often extremely dry or has a high alcohol content😅.
And this time, it's a raw sake. The alcohol content is 18.
This is my first time to drink it in a No. 5 bottle.
Cold sake has a sweetness of rice, but it has a sharp taste.
I tried heating it up.
It has a very strong alcohol taste, but the softness and sweetness are more pronounced.
Not bad.
The third picture shows my second son, who just turned 5 years old, helping to chop the ingredients for the nabe.
He was born in 2021, but I can only feel the Showa era 🤣.
He is a reserve army of drinkers who loves shabu-shabu more than hamburgers and is looking forward to the future.
Good evening, Maru 😃😃
Nobby asked me to comment 🤗 that he thinks it's 'so cute 😍'! I said 🥹I want to hug him when I enlarge it 😁.
I wonder if we can have a drink together in 15 years ☺️
Hi Jay & Nobby😊.
Thank you so much 😁 He used his whole little body to cut up radishes and bok choy and stuff 🔪.
I told my son that after 15 years I will have a drink with J & N. "Yes!" He said 👍
Hi Maru 🐦.
You are really cute ❣️ I want to praise you a lot 💕and your posture reminds me of Marukome 😆 Please let me join you as you are healthy for the next 15 years 😁.
Maru-san.
Good morning...
Cute son😍He is a good housekeeper! I'm jealous 😅I guess I'm too old to feel hard when I drink more than 17 degrees these days 🤔🤣.
Hi Pon 😊
Thank you, I am very happy to hear that! I used to be called Marukome by the ladies in my neighborhood about 40 years ago 🤣.
Pon-chan, please celebrate my son's 20th birthday with sake with us👍.
Hello, kozo😊.
Thank you very much! He's been having a boom in him lately wanting to help 🤣.
Anything over 17 degrees is tough 😓.
Let's both treat ourselves with some gentle sake 😄.
Up 🍶 a sake I got and drank on my Golden Week trip.
It is a raw sake from Hakurei Shuzo. The packaging is also very un-Japanese sake-like, with an image like white wine. It looks like they are trying something new. The taste is very fresh and delicious. The other colors are also unique and interesting.

Rustic.
It's not so much "mildly umami" as "rustic".
It is not flashy at all, but it has a good flavor.
The aftertaste is a little spicy and a little bitter, and it goes well with all kinds of food.
It is the type of wine that shows its true value when served with delicious accompaniments, rather than when drunk by itself.
I like this one.
In the mouth, sweetness and sourness spread at once.
Is it sweet? I thought so, but there is a slight bitterness at the end...
How can this taste be produced with only rice? Sake is a mystery.

It has a good balance of sweetness, spiciness, acidity, bitterness, and astringency. It is dry with a strong ginjo aroma and a full-bodied, dark flavor. It has a refreshing taste with a good aftertaste!

I bought a batch of three kinds of Hakurei's unfiltered raw sake, VIVID green! I opened this green one on today's gloomy day: ‼️
It has a refreshing mouthfeel, but a firm acidity and lingering sweetness follow from it. I think this is a good sake to refresh you in such a messy climate.
I served it with side dishes I bought on my way home from work. It goes with everything.
