Sawanohana夕涼み 純米吟醸
さかな🐟
Today marks the end of the rainy season. I think the rainy season was only about a week in my senses. It is going to be a summer of worrying about power-water shortages. However, it is going to be a summer when we can enjoy drinking outside, a break from the tension of Corona until last year. Since last month, there has been a rush of summer sake shipments to the point that we can't get enough to fill the refrigerators at the store. It is a difficult choice every time. My priority is to choose a brand that I have never tried before.
So, today we have Sawanohana. I have visited the Saku-no-Hana brewery before, and I am sure there is a lot of exchange between breweries in that area. I would like to go on a brewery tour.
Now, let's enjoy it. The first glass was a little tangy, but since today is the third day, I don't think it was that much. It has a good balance of sweetness and spiciness, making it an easy brand to drink. It can be drunk by itself or with snacks, so if you are having trouble, this would be the one to choose. It may be a bit strong, so I would not recommend it to sake beginners, but I think it could be quite addictive. It has an outstanding presence. You can really feel that you are drinking sake.
My sake consumption is down this year due to various reasons, but I would like to continue drinking seasonal sake on a regular basis. Let's have fun and be careful not to suffer from heat stroke.
