It is not only spicy but also umami, with a good balance of richness and acidity, and has a wonderful sharpness.
Serve with macaroni salad

I saw this one at a store I sometimes visit and have been curious about it for a long time.
I tried Kanenaka, a sake made by Nakajimaya in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.
The label is very cool.
The manager recommended this sake, and it won a prize at a competition in Paris, so I opened the bottle with high expectations.
The first saké was cold and the first saké was, "Hmmm? It has a strong unique flavor... It's a bit peculiar because it's a sake brewed from a traditional sake brewery... It's not a good match for me... I think it would be better to warm it up 🤔.
I opened it for 2 days and drank it....
It has some kind of sweetness, and it's indescribably rich and delicious 😳.
This is what I mean when I say that the taste opens up.
It's not for everyone by any means, but I thought it was a good sake with a sense of the creator's commitment. Thank you for the treat 🙏.

On the way back from Yamaguchi, we had 4 hours, so we took the customary izakaya shinkansen (Japanese style bar).
This time, we procured our alcohol at a liquor store in Yuda Onsen that has a pretty good lineup, so it's OK👍.
Usually, there is no one next to you from the Shinyama exit, even if there is on the way.
But this time, there was one person across the middle of the three-seater, then another person in the middle in Okayama, 😱 three people in a row! It's a little tough without space! We started with just a few beers 🍺.
Two people got off at Shin-Kobe and just as I was about to start in earnest 😘, two more people got on the train 😱No way around it today........................................!
The sake is Kanenaka Iedenzukuri Namaishime Junmai, limited edition!
I've had Nakashimaya, but this is my first time to drink Kanenaka?
Yellowish sake, strong taste, with a hint of rice flavor.
Alcohol 16%, but it seems a bit stronger than that 😝.
It's pretty tasty 😋.
