そめぞう
Waiting for the sake sent from Echigo-Yuzawa, today's sake is junmai sake from Iinuma Honke, a brewery in Chiba. The label is cute. It is a tortoise and a mouse.
The ingredients are Gohyakumangoku from Shakai-cho and Yachimachi City, Chiba Prefecture. (Shisui-machi is the best sake brewing area in Chiba Prefecture, isn't it? I want to go see the well once.)
As the name "soft" suggests, it is gentle on the palate. I had a preconceived notion that it was supposed to be very sweet, but it had a moderate sweetness that made me feel relaxed after drinking it. Today, I drank only one cup after dinner (though I drank at least one cup since it contains 180 ml) and had shrimp crackers as snacks. It was a relaxing drink that made me think, "I'll do my best for this drink tomorrow, too.
