Vinny Brooklyn
Very traditional, a little rough around the edges. 18% alcohol. Expect no less from Ibaraki. Good by itself at the end of the meal. From internet search a seasonal product, hiyaroshi.

Vinny Brooklyn
Not sure I’ve had anything from this Saitama Kura. Lots of flavors but balanced. Impressive.
Vinny Brooklyn
Outstanding Niigata-shu. Very full bodied.
Vinny Brooklyn
Very smooth autumn release even though temperatures still summer like.
Vinny Brooklyn
So this is ¥200 more than the regular Tokubetsu Honjozo. Presumably for the “Dodger” blue bottle & the English front labeling. Purchased despite my hatred of the Dodgers; once they left Brooklyn, land of my ancestors, it’s “Let’s Go Mets!” Nice basic sake though. (But fuck the Dodgers.)
Vinny Brooklyn
Summer sake from Shinanoya. Man it was hot today. Good to be home.
Vinny Brooklyn
Off menu. Splendid stuff.
Vinny Brooklyn
Maybe first Yamaorishi? Very nice.
Vinny Brooklyn
Have not been here in a while. Last of summer feelings but still too hot.
Vinny Brooklyn
Glad saved for the end. Three dimensional and complex. Interesting is best way to describe.
Vinny Brooklyn
Two nights in a row with Morishima. Becoming a habit.
Vinny Brooklyn
A summer arrow through my heart.
Vinny Brooklyn
Summer romance on a Friday night in August with my beloved. Very nice.
Vinny Brooklyn
Interesting in a positive way. Will look for this again. Dry but flavorful enough for maki rolls at the end. A strong lineup at this new branch of 意気な寿し処阿部 in Kami-Osaki.
Vinny Brooklyn
Although “Super Dry” not so much to my palate. A little more nuanced but still not much depth. All around quite good though.
Vinny Brooklyn
First time at new Abe sushiya in Kami-Osaki (not really Meguro). Happy to see Morishima on the list. Always good!
Vinny Brooklyn
End of Obon but we’re at home. Still too hot for summer to be over. But summer brew remains helpful. This was quite elegant.
Vinny Brooklyn
Light & fresh, summer release (but label had April date). TGIF especially without typhoon effect (other than wind & high humidity), nice to be at home.
Vinny Brooklyn
Very good closing number of the evening. Fukushima sake continues to shine.
Vinny Brooklyn
70% polishing and made in June. Nice but not memorable on a July night.
