Drinking Too Much Thursday (parody)
The temperature and my mood are both down.
When I go out for a drink, all I hear is bad news about the economy.
My wallet is in the hole.
I'm not going to drink myself into debt, but I'm not going to drink myself into debt.
My wallet is slender and my belly is big.
I am thinking of dieting, but I can't beat the loneliness of the season, and I end up wandering around drinking... lol.
I went to my usual oden shop to have a quick drink and go home.
I ordered my last drink, and then... well, this is interesting.
Juji Asahi
Junmai Ginjyo Harajinshu Matured Sake
Maybe it's because I had it heated up...it smells a little like a wooden barrel...a little like a barrel sake or a Yamahai.
Sour or astringent...a little different from the image of the smell, with a strong sweetness and a light mouthfeel.
The aroma of maturity...is it oak or wood...like the "ripe banana" often heard in whisky...It is not to everyone's taste, but this is quite tasty, isn't it?
Is it good that it is fire-aged and then laid down?
It is a little different from the image of "a strong sake with a spicy, acidic, and noxious taste after being aged".
It's a little too much like an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) these days, but that's why I can't stop going to a place with a warming keeper.
