A lot has happened, but it all happened so fast. May next year be another peaceful one. As is customary at the end of the year, I sent a bottle of Sawanoi's Kameguchi sake to an old friend, and the year is almost over.
I looked for Imanishi Shuzo, but they did not sell it, so I went to Kubohonke Shuzo, also in Nara, and found "Nama Hashiroshi no Dobu". It is a light nigori sake.
I found this sake from Imanishi Sake Brewery (Nara) at a liquor store in Komae, which Mr. H told me about. It is said to be dry, but it is fruity, full-flavored, and right on target for me! Very tasty!

Junmai Ginjo "Yuu" (Fukui)
Kitano Ace was pushing this one, so I bought it. I have been drinking a lot of refreshing or fruity type of sake recently, so this one is a very assertive type of sake.
