Second bottle of my favorite liquor store's July distribution item‼️.
It contained the 4th junmai sake in the East Traveler series from Banjo Kotobuki!
I have purchased two bottles each of Junmai and Junmai-Ginjo up to No. 3 so far 😊.
Just as I was wondering when the fourth installment would be released, I saw the No. 4 and No. 5 in the fridge at the store.
I asked the owner and he told me that they have already released the next 8 bottles....
I wanted to buy it, but I already had 3 bottles of Hanpukai sake and 3 more pre-ordered that day...
I'd have no room in the fridge if I bought 8 bottles!
More than that, there was a danger that I would have no place to go home! (As you can imagine, even the wife would be 👹🤣)
So I gave up and went to the cashier to pay...
Oh ❓East Traveler is in there... and it's a 4 No. Junmai!
So I got one of them 💦.
I really wanted to compare the two...
Too long to preface... lol!
As for the taste, I didn't feel any discomfort with the recent sakes because of the use of No. 4 yeast, compared to the previous series.
It is comparable to the current Banjo Kotobuki.
I felt that it was a time travel from the old days.
But I'm still looking forward to the next installment 😁.
