I thought I could go for at least two different kinds in a cup, so I opened the second bottle of "Funao Taki"! I've seen the name before, but this is the first time I've had it. When I opened the bottle, the aroma was thicker than the previous "Tanigawadake". It has a thick, sweet, slightly banana-like aroma 🍌. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky, but the taste is more like a mellow sake with sweetness as the main ingredient. The rich umami from the 70% polished rice and the spiciness from the aluzoe are a good match, and the flavor is not cloying. Finally(?) Gunma is the 50th check-in. Although I have no particular connection or affinity with Gunma, I hope to explore more and more, including the "Akagisan" that got me into sake, with the goal of reaching 100 next time 😌.

Good evening, stst! (≧▜≊) Congratulations on your 50th check-in in Gunma! ㊗ It's not easy to increase the number in a specific prefecture, so it's great. I am a Iwate Prefecture person, and this number is unbelievable!

Thank you, Kumagai-san! In my case, I grew up in Tokyo, so I cheat a lot, but I guess that's another thing I love about local sake ✹.

Hello, kab! Yes, it is. It is a refreshing sake that is typical of Gunma sake, but it has a darker flavor similar to the Katsuragawa or Gunma Izumi type of sake👍. As you say, it only makes me keenly aware of the depth of Gunma sake and sake 😊.
