まるわ
I go to the local sake shop to buy new Sogen sake, which I look forward to every year.
The sake I brought back was last year's new sake. It seems that they bought the stock from the warehouse, so they will have to put off this year's new sake until the store's stock is depleted.
On the way home, I buy some fried hormone at a butcher shop.
Speaking of freshly pressed sake, the sake from Shiboritate, Shimehari Tsuru and Urakasumi are excellent, but I definitely prefer Sogen Oshi. It is fresh and tangy, with a heavy umami afterwards.
It is also good when heated.
