At Izakaya Ebisu
When I received a letter from the owner saying that the restaurant will close at the end of this year due to his old age, I had no choice but to go.
When I looked at the sake menu after a long absence, I was surprised to see that only four-pack bottles were available!
It seems that this is due to the limited number of customers.
With only one bottle, we wanted an all-rounder...
After much deliberation, we chose Tsuji Zenbei's Yamahai Junmai, which was reasonably priced and seemed to have a strong flavor!
The label reads "strictly forbidden to experts", as if it was designed to be a Yamahai for beginners.
Yes, I am always a beginner!
The aroma is slightly banana-like.
The mouthfeel is calm and mild.
The sweetness is mild and the umami of rice is strong.
The acidity in the aftertaste gives a refreshing impression and keeps you from getting bored.
Although the rice is 80% Yamada-Nishiki polished, you do not feel any cloying taste, which may be due to the power of the "super-thickness self-polishing" as stated on the label on the back of the bottle.
Sashimi has a sweet strawberry flavor.
It adds umami flavor to vegetables.
A well-balanced food sake
Sad to see it close, but thank you for providing a place to enjoy good sake and food!

Good morning, bap!
Oh I'm sad to see a familiar store close 💧.
😁✨✨Genin strictly forbidden is an interesting label 🎵
I get the impression that it's a delicious sake that combines the goodness of junmai sake with ease of drinking 😋.

Good evening, ma-ki- 😀.
I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm feeling tired. It was a gentle Yamahai that can't be easily underestimated: ☺️
