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.

Juyondai角新 本丸
21
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.)

Juyondai大極上生

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.

Ichinokura松山天

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.

Juyondai黒縄
21
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.
