Sake from Kami Town, Hyogo Prefecture
We will start the new year with this bottle of sake, Kozutsuru Shiboritate.
This year, like last year, it has a super melon flavor, and even the top notes are melon. It has a sweet taste when swallowed, but it is basically dry.
The liquid is almost colorless and clear, with a few clear legs.

I would have liked to taste something a little more robust, but this was the original sake.
Not too high in alcohol content, not too sweet, and light...
I felt grateful, but also a little disappointed...
Side note: It has been 20 years since Derek Bailey passed away.
I'll be soaking up his sound for a long time after drinking this...
The weather is getting colder in earnest.
I changed my plans on short notice and made pork miso soup.
I heated up some Kouzutsuru Smooth.
It was so warming!
