smokyA January hanpukai item from the Meimon Sake Club.
Slightly different from the usual Koshi, with just a touch of acidity.
It is also a little lackluster.
smokyThis is a draft sake only available at this time of the year from Jyushidai.
I did not like Honmaru because it was too sweet, but this year's Kakushin is Junmai, so I bought it.
It has a little roughness typical of new sake, but it is nice and refreshing.
The difference between grades of Jyushidai seems to be small (the cheaper grade is Jyushidai). (The cheaper grade is more than enough for me.)

smokyThe third day after opening the bottle. It is cold today, so I warmed it up a little. It is refreshing and surprisingly good.
smokyThis is a new sake that is squeezed on New Year's Day.
It has a light and refreshing taste typical of Shinmasa.
We wish you a happy new year with this auspicious new sake.
smokyIt is a Jyushidai Nama-zake. It is only available at this time of the year.
It is very good.
However, I think I prefer the hi-irated version of Jyushidai.
smokyAs the label says, it tastes clean and refreshing.
Aromatic and slightly carbonated. Well balanced, I think this is one I recommend now.
Really delicious.
smokyThis is the end of the year-end and New Year's set at the liquor store.
I drank a lot.
We got nigi at a low price, so we eat it as sashimi and grilled.
It's so good!
smokyAn 8 year old wine.
It was also stored at room temperature.
It is also quite brown. q
It had a slight scent of hiney aroma when it was chilled,
It was very good when it was warmed up to lukewarm.
I think I'm going to get hooked on old sake.
smokyJyusyu Nanadaru Nijukan.
The flavor is concentrated and the intense taste explodes in your mouth.
The 4 gou of sake was consumed in no time at all.
Great satisfaction!
smokyI bought this pure black at the end of the year.
It is a bit like Shinsei, but when paired with crab, it has a great flavor and is very good. It was very good.
smokyJyushiyo Kuronawa. I used to hear that it was only available in Yamagata Prefecture, but I was able to have it at a Japanese restaurant.
It is a high-class line of Jyushiro, and it is a great product with no part of the quirkiness of the stone.
But recently, Jyushiyo is also very expensive.
smokyI was getting a little nervous about my New Year's sake, so I bought some more.
I thought 29% might be too low, but it was the best I've ever tasted.
I have never been disappointed with Kangiku Meikozo, but this is an exceptionally good sake.
smokyA bottle of Meimon Sake Kai's hanpukai
This is the first time I have had this sake.
It is a refreshing sake with a strong rice flavor,
It is a good sake for a meal.
