Akabu-AKABU" Sake from Morioka, Iwate
It has become a habit to buy something at Ikesei's sake shop Yamada before going home for the holidays. I bought some salted amaebi (sweet shrimp) at the Okazu market.
Isshaku Suisei Junmai Ginjo
Iburi Gakkoto and Nama Kinman (Kitty version)
Enjoyed a trip back to Akita. Ippakusuisei has a mellow aroma and a refreshing aftertaste. It was a moment of bliss.
Yamamoto Yamamoto Junmai Ginjo Kiki Uki Uki Uki Uki Uki Uki Uki Namaigori Nama Sake
Yamamoto is recommended by my father, who is a henkotsu (a skewered fried food) shop owner in Akita.
I found a light nigori at a liquor store in Komae. It tastes fresh and spring-like!
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.
