Vinny Brooklyn
Another “summer” brew, & last of the evening. Gassy in a good way, and reminiscent of ramune (but for adults). While the crowds in Kamakura feel like summer, still not warm enough. But this makes me feel like summer is here.

Vinny Brooklyn
When asked about “summer” brews, this was one proposed. My counter neighbor recommended, so why not (even though not quite summer in Golden Week). Good choice! Solid Muroka. Very enjoyable.
Vinny Brooklyn
Fresh and broad flavors. 2nd of the night.
Vinny Brooklyn
It has been a while since having Yakitori in Kamakura. This off the list suggestion was offered when asked for a dry type. Too easy to drink, definitely dry, not much nuance.
Vinny Brooklyn
My wife had this as atsukan. Even though middle of GW, it was cold & wet, and this nicely warmed.
Vinny Brooklyn
More nuance than pure Kurakuchi. I liked this, as I do most of their stuff.
Vinny Brooklyn
Spring is, or at least May is, here even though an awful weather night. Very nice.
Vinny Brooklyn
Apple, please, is accurate. Interesting contrast with some sashimi.

Tonkatsu Obento dinner at home during this unusual GW. Means have to spend some money on good nihonshu. This has been accomplished.

Splendid!

Vinny Brooklyn
Third & last of the evening; & likely my last at the 2025 RH Craft Sake week. 4 coins.
Clean acidity and well-knit & balanced. Nicely done.
Vinny Brooklyn
Second of the night (theme is “Brewed with History”). 4 coins.
Very dry but with a fruity finish, if that makes sense. To me, better as an aperitif, as a stand alone without food.
Said to Craft Sake Week Exclusive.
Vinny Brooklyn
Sorry to edit. My second session at RH Craft Sake Week, on 4/23. Tonight’s theme — Brewed with History.
My only 8 coin purchase (maybe ever?) and worth it. Great flavors & balance. Sad I was standing in a convention setting and not at home with my bride & dog, & home food. Really good stuff.
Support Kyoto sakegura. No disappointments.
Vinny Brooklyn
Last 4-coin of the night. This is one worth looking for; hopefully becomes more than a prototype.
Vinny Brooklyn
Third 4-coin choice at RH Craft Sake Week 2025. Nicely balanced & smooth. I could get used to this.
Vinny Brooklyn
Second 4-coin at RH Craft Sake Week. Wanted to support the only Fukushima brand tonight. Very good!
Vinny Brooklyn
At Craft Sake Week 2025. First. And pretty tasty.
Vinny Brooklyn
Smooth and well-balanced. Been a while since I had one of theirs; can see why popular. Brew date is April 2025, so very fresh.

Last of second three tasting flights. Basic, traditional stuff.

Second of second three tasting flight. Good match with anago & grilled ebi head (says my wife).
