酒屋 巡
First time to go to Ramen Izakaya in a long time.
It's busy and we have no money.
Drinking outside is expensive, drinking at home is expensive (and we are suspected of buying too much Tsumami and sake).
What the hell is going on in Japan!
I wish my salary would go up....
La Jomon, which the regular next to me was drinking.
If the owner was tasting it while he was drinking next to me, I would be curious about it.
This is a company that does interesting things.
They have a private brand, so they only decide on a name and make a different sake for each vat (or brewery?). (or brewery by brewery?). They only decide on a name and ask each brewer to make a different sake.
The black label "Rajomon" is made by a company called Shuho Brewery.
Junmai Nama-shu (Junmai Nama-shu).
The first sip is fruity, like white wine.
It has a moderate acidity and astringency.
It has a freshness that can only be found in nama-shu.
It has a slight hint of koji (mold) that is different from that of wine.
It would probably taste even better if it were chilled to a crisp...but that's the point.
I think it is a taste that is easy to get used to for those in the wine world.
The next door and the one next to it are regulars.
Some of them are from overseas, and I don't have to worry about having a snack (I know, I'll get angry).
Third drink in a long line of writing.
Now, I wonder if I can write (or drink) the next one.
