AAJI
Recently, I had been drinking only sake produced in Kumamoto Prefecture by the Hananoka Shuzo brewery. It was the first sake produced in Japan after World War II that was made with junmai (pure rice) sake. It is the representative brand of Chiyozonoen. Chiyozonoen's Shuubai refers to Junmai sake. Several decades ago, Mr. Tadahiko Hozumi (brother of Takanobu Hozumi of "Seki Kuzushi" fame and sake critic) and I happened to meet the predecessors of the couple at a small restaurant, where I told them I always read their articles and received a 2-goupe bottle. I remember reading your articles all the time and remember getting a two-pack of it. It was perfect with yellow grouper sashimi. 300ml 642yen

Good evening AAJI 😃. We too have Kumamoto sake 🍶 almost exclusively from our birthplace 😅. But there is a sake brewery with such a long history! And with a memory of awesome encounters 🤗 I'd like to try it 😋.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby. I borrowed Tadahiko Hozumi's notebook and asked him if I could have his autograph. 😅 Some of the breweries have good food.
