drinking at home (as opposed to going out)
The weekend before last, my daughter contacted me to accompany her to Gunma to purchase a car🚙 and gave it to me as a gift!
It was the first time she bought it for me so I can't really say anything about it 😭
The store owner was very kind and explained everything to her.
It is a 3 year cold-aged sake and is a very delicious daiginjo with a sense of maturity similar to a light Shaoxing sake.

I've had a drink at home before, but it's been a while, so I'll put it up.
It's a classic label, but when you drink it, it's not so classic, and it's easy to drink.
It's a little older than usual, but it tastes beautiful.
The rice is Wakamizu and Asahi no Yume, apparently.
I've been wondering if this sake is different from ordinary Yamahai, though it's labeled "Namahashi-ryu" even though it's Yamahai.
Tenjin's Narazuke was sweet, rich and delicious.
Tenkohi and Narazuke go so well together😋.
I drank 8 kinds of sake in total, including Jyugyohi, Honshu Ichi, and Toryu, but I've already posted them in the past, so I won't go into them here 😌.
9th glass today 👀.
Gunma Izumi Junmai Ginjo ❣️
Light green seems to be named in memory of a famous sword from the past 🍶 Melon-like aroma with a crisp finish 🍶.
Nice 👍
Special Honjozo 🍶Hatsu Shibori🎍.
A little strong acidity at first, followed by melon, and dry taste. The aftertaste is sharp and clean. The spiciness is increased by roughly simmered kanpachi. A little bitterness if you use gizzard.

Maikaze 2nd kind 👀
Gunma Izumi!
This is also delicious 👌
Gunma G2 yeast sake 🍶.
This sake won the highest trophy in the Junmai Sake category of the IWC SAKE division in 2022: ❣️
That's great👍
My drinking friend brought me here.
Lunchtime drinking at a soba noodle restaurant🍶.
We both recently drank delicious sake from Gunma.
I know you've been to Gunma...! We said to each other "Gunma is here...!
We started the first round of drinks with Gunma's sake.
It's not sweet, but has a refreshing flavor?
It's good.

Both were delicious ♡♡♡
Gunma Izumi Maikaze Yamahai Junmai
Rating 4.4
Rice: 100% Maikaze, Polishing ratio: 60%, Sake meter: +3, Acidity: 1.6, Yeast: Gunma G2, Alcohol content: 15%.
The combination of G2 yeast with Yamahai brewing gives this sake a pleasant umami flavor and lingering aftertaste. It has a light and elegant structure with a sweetness suppressed by Yamahai and umami. It has a more expansive taste when lukewarm.
I drank it at a bar in a restaurant! The one I drank when I was told it was good!
I got it a little hotter than hot sake (not as hot as tobikiri hot sake).
I thought it would have a nice sharpness and full of umami because it's Yamahai,
I thought it would have a nice sharpness, but it had a great acidity with a great umami.
It's a good warmed sake!
