The last sake we had at Kyoto Stand Kiyo Kiyo was "Toyoyo Junmai Dry Musou" by Mukai Shuzo, also from the Tango region.
The rough and powerful label may represent the fishing scene in this area.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the umami flavor and the aroma of rice is crisp and full.
Even though it is called "Dry Musou", it has a hint of sweetness, which makes it a delicious cup.
It has been a long time since I have had a good drink, and the best part of drinking outside by myself is that I can drink slowly while considering what to drink and what snacks to go with it, while keeping an eye on my pocketbook.
I returned home refreshed both mentally and physically.
From next time, I will introduce some of the sakes I took at the beginning of the year!

The bottle was warned to be opened with caution, but there was no fizziness at all, and the lees did not move even slightly.
The first thing I did was to pour the clear sake into a cup, and even there I did not feel any fizz.
But the taste is quite refreshing and delicious.
After the second glass, I mixed the lees with the nigoromi (nigori)... Perhaps because the lees is so thick (about a quarter of the lees in stillness), the sake was a little heavy, beyond soft.
It might be exquisite if gas were involved...but I kept on drinking.
I had the impression that if there was a sense of effervescence... if there was no effervescence, the clear sake would be better....
On the second day, I had the clear sake and light nigori.
Since I was enjoying Ine-Manbaike at the same time, I thought it would be good if they were from the same brewery, so I combined the remaining lees with Ine-Manbaike and enjoyed it as a mellow pink sake.
