While I've been making nabe (hot pot) on the weekends lately and sake is on the rise, I finally got the last of the sake I was buying in early summer.
The sake brewery was actually used in the filming of a TV series 📺.
The wife had also seen it, so I was fortunate enough to buy it.
The aroma is cemedine type, or sake-like.
It has a mild umami on the palate, with a slight sweetness to an astringent and fluffy aftertaste.
When I tasted it, I had the impression that it was more refreshing.
I think it may have been stored poorly, as it seems to have aged a bit 😓.
I will have to adjust the pace at which I buy it in the future.
Today is also Shibotan Ura Junmai Hiyoroshi, a light and dry Junmai sake with a nice sharp taste. We are having cod roe simmered with cod roe, fried yam isobe and grilled herring 😋 #Yaohiro #Yaohiro Tsujido #Tsujido #Fujisawa

The bottle seems to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Tomitaro Makino, a native of Kochi.
Gentle floral aroma.
Dry, but not strong, with a refreshing aftertaste typical of Kochi sake.
The aroma is alcoholic. The aroma is clear and dry, with a hint of sweetness from the rice. It is an orthodox light and dry sake. It went well with a strong-flavored nabe (hot pot).
When cold, it is a crisp, mid-meal sake; at room temperature, it becomes mellower; and when heated, the aroma and flavor become stronger, and a slight bit of a bitter taste comes out. Personally, I think it was most balanced when warmed.
