Morioka Ekinaka's Unmenosu.
The third cup in the drinking comparison was a junmai ginjo from Toruyoemon, a famous Iwate sake.
It had a beautiful acidity and was well chilled, so I drank it quickly! 😱
Oh no!
I should have tasted it more slowly!
I realized it was already time to catch the Shinkansen.
I had no choice but to get up from my seat.
It was still early summer in Tokyo at that time, so I could manage to walk outside, but it's definitely not possible now!
It's hard enough in Iwate with temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius, but I can't go west of Tokyo with temperatures over 35 degrees Celsius every day because of my cold-weather specs!
And even in this summer-like weather, we will soon be able to harvest the taste of autumn!
Last year, we had a bumper crop of matsutake mushrooms despite the heat wave.
I have high expectations for this year as well! 🎉
