This year, I chose the popular Koei-Kiku brand as my "toke". I found it at Kadoya Sake Shop in Ibaraki, Osaka, where I sometimes visit, and brought it home.
It has a citrus 🍊 aroma, a grape-like sweetness, and a slightly astringent but clean finish.
It's always delicious!
I paired it with Matsuura pickles, a specialty of Saga, and we were able to taste them without disturbing each other's individuality ^_^.
The year is almost over. The flu is going around, but please take care of yourselves so that you can enjoy sake with a smile ☺️

Hi Shota 😃
We had some here a while ago too! It's as good as you say 😋 We stopped by Matsuura at a roadside station on our trip to Kyushu the year before last, but we didn't know about Matsuura pickles 😅.
Have a happy new year 🤗

Thank you for your comment, Jay & Nobby 😀 Matsuura zuke is whale cartilage that is chopped and exposed to water to remove the fat,
It is made by chopping whale cartilage, removing the fat by exposing it to water and marinating it in sweet sake lees. It's a great snack, of course, but it's also great to eat it with hot rice. If you have a chance, please visit ❗️
