アラジンDrinks at a work-related drinking party.
I don't have any notes, and the photos are a bit messy, but I had a lot of drinks, so it would be a waste not to go through them, so I'll just post a few for the record 🍶.
The first sake is Sakiyami Junmai Ginjo Naokumi-Arabashiri (Takamusume Shuzo/Gunma Prefecture).
I was attracted by the spring-like color of the label and decided to make it a starter 🌸.
The Okinawan restaurant we were taken to: 🏝️
The restaurant had a great lineup of awamori and delicious food: ☺️
I looked at the menu and found a good variety of sake 😳.
However, the owner apologized and said, "A group of people drank a lot of sake the other day, so we don't have many bottles left today 😌".
I went to the fridge and chose from the sake that was left.
It had a moderately mature ginjo aroma.
The palate is still slightly stimulated by the gaseous sensation that is typical of direct pumping, and from the clear sweetness and umami, the acidity spreads gently, and from the mid-palate onward, the clear bitterness takes effect and finishes off.
The roughness of the first pressing can only be felt in the bitterness, and it is a good sake with a sense of transparency and refinement typical of Miyamanishiki sake 🍶.

ことりHi Aladdin 😊Okinawan food and sake sounds great 😋I've never had Sakiyami, even though it's in a neighboring prefecture, and I'm hoping one day to have it. I was in a group the other day... 🙄 Maybe some of them were members of Sake-no-wa 🤭.

アラジンHi Kotori 😃
It was Japanese food with a focus on Okinawan cuisine, but there is no dish that doesn't go well with sake 🍶☺️
Indeed someone might have been here the day before 😁 Still, there was a good selection!
I would recommend Sakiyami if you don't mind bitterness!
