Today is the first crab of the year 🦀.
To go with it, I consulted with the liquor store owner and got some hot sake from Sawahime!
It went well with it!
Both are exquisite and delicious!
Thank you, General!
Today is a certain anniversary.
After careful selection, we have a snow chaya.
Subdued aroma,
pleasant acidity and depth of flavor.
You can feel the careful craftsmanship.
It was a wonderful evening!
Sake Nouveau Freshly Pressed Today
Kinonene's "Dawn of Sakai
Slightly gorgeous aroma
First, fresh acidity.
Then fresh umami, gentle but lively.
It is truly freshly pressed!
The sharpness is good, of course!
The new sake season has finally arrived.
Purchased at a liquor store in Naraijuku, Nagano Prefecture.
The owner recommended it as a local favorite,
It was delicious!
Well-rounded fruity taste is impressive!
The water is good, and the taste is beautiful!
Too bad it is not sold in my hometown!
Makes me want to drink another bottle!
A balance of acidity and flavor that is typical of Koshi.
Blah and banana feeling in a good way!
A nice crispness at the end.
It's a pity that only bottle #4 is available!
Purchased at a liquor store in Nakatsugawa, Gifu Prefecture
The owner's favorite sake
He told me a lot of things about this sake and said, "Anyway, the water in this area is good, so it's good!
Well, it is delicious!
It is both aromatic and sharp!
When I was disappointed that they ran out of Funaka Hachaku, the owner of the liquor store recommended this one!
It's like Kochi sake, sharp and delicious. ❣️
Every year, I look forward to this time of year for Hoshiai!
Grateful to be able to drink it again this year. We were grateful to the sake shop owner and enjoyed it!
The freshly bottled sake was very fresh!
