Joyo純米吟醸60 山田錦
くるま麩
On the way back from watching the Gion Festival Yamaboko Junko
Purchased at a sake store in Fushimi
It is a summer sake.
It has a gaseous yet calm mouthfeel.
Elegant smoothness typical of Joyo.
Moderate sweetness and crisp, fresh acidity.
The taste is satisfying and refreshing at the same time.
Perfect for the current season!
Yamaboko procession
I went to Yoiyama last year.
I arrived in Kyoto early in the morning to see the Yamaboko procession in action.
I arrived before 7:00 a.m., but there were already people around the Nagatohoko floats and around the Tsuji-mawashi street in Kawaramachi.
I was able to get a good vantage point,
It was like a "moving museum!
The swaying brocade and musical accompaniment were mystical.
I once again felt the majesty of the ancient capital.
