Shinkame's Mahojin Junmai.
This Shinkame's Mahojin was produced in November 2013 and came to our house after 7 years at the liquor store.
The last time I posted about it was in March 2023, the day before the WBC final. Two and a half years have passed since then and it is almost 12 years old.
In my last post, the main dish was also gratin.
I warmed it up hot.
The aroma of maturity and the hard flavor, not unlike that of Ihyakumangoku, spread out more powerfully.
It goes well with cream and cheese in gratin.
We had about 2 cups left and finished it.
It takes a long time to grow such a matured sake 😅.
I will cherish another encounter and time.

Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio.
You are having a nice drink. I envy you.
I envy you. I can feel the same flavor in Shinkame as I do in Gohyakumangoku. But you can't get Shinkame in Kansai.

Good evening, Maruwa 😊.
Shinkame is also very particular about its sake rice.
Mahojin is organically grown Gohyakumangoku rice from Chiba prefecture by people who share Shinkame's sake brewing philosophy.
Shinkame is safe to have at home👍.
It can also be aged.
