god of death I went to Sugiura Dungeon at Yotsugi Station on the Keisei Line with an ally and encountered a god. Yes, a god of death*. Apparently, this is the liquor store that planned this Shinigami. The name seems to come from the rakugo story "Shinigami". Since I also like Rakugo, I was afraid to buy it*. First, let's start with the Hanayakie. The color was surprisingly amber. The aroma is ripe like Shaoxing sake and savory like rice. The attack is heavy and hits the tongue. The nose is still ripe Shaoxing wine, with the smell of rice and caramel. The sweetness and richness of the Shaoxing wine spreads more than the acidity*, but it is lighter than the color suggests. It is heavy, but not too heavy. It's like mirin*. The next day, I thought it would be better to warm it up, so I warmed it up to about 45 degrees Celsius, and naturally the sweetness and richness was so strong that I felt like I was going to be scratched on the neck with a sickle*. This is a strong impact! I am very excited because it has been a while since I tasted Mature Sake. I was prepared to think that I might like eel with Mature sake, but I knew it would go well with the richness of the sake*. I was reminded of the "yanagakage" from the rakugo story "Seina". It is a cool drink made from mirin chilled with well water and mixed with shochu in summer, so I would like to chill shinshin and mix it with shochu.

Manachichi, I'm sorry* I asked the clerk directly, including the above rakugo down to the maturity, but I just checked the website and it looks like an assemblage* Sorry, I'm off to Yotsugi again!
