Vinny Brooklyn
Last at 焼鳥 火團(カダン) 白金台, served based on omakase request. More full bodied than the prior two. Some richness in the finish.

Vinny Brooklyn
Second at 焼鳥 火團(カダン) 白金台. Fairly sharp but easy to drink.
Vinny Brooklyn
At 焼鳥 火團(カダン) 白金台. When I asked for a dry sake this was the first of two recommended. Easy choice to start with something from Ishikawa. Very but not extremely dry.

While there still were hiyaroshi at the store, at this point in December I thought time to move on to shiboritate. Not yet winter on the calendar these past few days have been cold ish here in Tokyo.
This is quite dry, with a nice finish. If only I could be the same.
Vinny Brooklyn
When the label says “Extra Dry”, it’s not joking. Very Chablis-like, with mineral notes and long finish. Also nice the release date is “25.10” which is my birthdate.

Ako Roshi anniversary at Sengakuji.

Closing out the evening.

Finally moving on to Kyoto standbys after Ishikawa & Nagano. This is like an old friend that never disappoints.
Vinny Brooklyn
Nicely done.

This Junmai sake is made using 100% contract-grown rice, suitable for sake brewing. It is fermented slowly at low temperatures during the harsh winter months, the most suitable time for sake brewing. It is a light, crisp, dry sake with a generous rice flavor that spreads throughout the mouth.

Back label says best if drunk within one month. It was 11.06.25 and had on 12.06.25. Whew.
Vinny Brooklyn
Last time this year at my place in Tsukiji. 33 years and counting since my first visit. Hard to believe
Vinny Brooklyn
Nice at home but unexceptional to be honest.
Vinny Brooklyn
Classic.
Vinny Brooklyn
A bit alcoholic in the front end, and slightly acidic in the finish. But after hearing about fire last week in Oita, wanted to give this a chance.
Vinny Brooklyn
Have to end with a Kyoto brand. Solid all around.
Vinny Brooklyn
Perhaps the first shiboritate this season. Already hiyaroshi— which was served earlier tonight is past?! Still the label makes this something you want to drink. Sorry I only had one ichigo.
Vinny Brooklyn
Second of the night. While also a hiyaroshi, this has some more substance.
Vinny Brooklyn
While still not a full time Kyoto resident need to eat at some old standbys. That means either here or O-Sen. This trip here. And trust them on the Yagenbori in-house brand.
Vinny Brooklyn
Finally a Kyoto sake after all from Shiga at 酒菜 石慶 (Sekkei) in Kyoto. Much drier and a nice way to end dinner
