うしまど
I couldn't forget drinking at Ginza Taruhira in the past. On a visit to Yamagata, I visited a sake brewery. There was no modern, clean store, and as I peeked in front of the office, the brewery owner beckoned me to come in. The office was an old office desk with a fluorescent light hanging from it and no decorations at all. The cynical person is more attracted to such a brewery. Turning around, we saw an old glass case filled with bottles from the brewery's lineup, all of which were a bit faded. Taruhira-san used to produce such a wide variety of bottles.
After talking with the brewer, I bought a few bottles of Hatsu Shibori and Sumiyoshi Gin, which were the last remaining bottles.
Then, we went to Yukimukae. It was my first time to drink Sasanishiki. It is rich (18%), sweet and robust, but easy to drink. I am also looking forward to Sumiyoshi Gin.
