I bought a 2 year old Manju, but it had developed a hiney aroma.
It must have been poorly stored.
It was a pity, but when I heated it up, I didn't mind so much.
I got a new bottle (2023.11) that is a bit old.
Hmmm. It still has a hint of hiney aroma, but it's not good enough.
I guess it would be better if it were warmed up.
Kangiku Meikozo only makes this sake once a year.
It has an outstanding taste. The Kangiku that we usually drink is also very good, but this is something else.
If it were Jyushiyo, the price would be over 10,000 yen. It is an amazing sake.
My favorite new sake from Electric Light was on tap and I bought it immediately.
Pear aroma and taste.
Combined with the gassy feeling, it is the best.
I was impressed that such a good sake still exists in the world.
The 38% polished rice is just right, with just the right balance of umami and limpidness.
It's delicious.
Mansaku-no-Hana's Tourmai Sake series.
They are released in order, changing the rice, but they are often sold out, so it is not easy to find them.
This time, Aizan was available, so I bought it.
This is the most impactful and intense sake I have had this year.
I was at a drinking party with friends and brought this in.
It was quickly consumed and they asked me where this was sold---.
It is really good.
I bought a bottle of nigori (cloudy) sake from Kangiku Meikozo, which I have been into recently, because I heard they had it in stock.
It is a clear cloudy sake with little sweetness.
I opened it in one day.
