Vinny Brooklyn
Not sure I ever had +25 before. More flavor than expected. Outstanding stuff.
Vinny Brooklyn
Continuing with the “dry” theme, this was delicious.
Vinny Brooklyn
I asked for dry (kurakuchi) and this is what I got. Very drinkable.
Vinny Brooklyn
At home, courtesy of Shibata-san at Tsukiji Sushi last Friday night. First time out of his restaurant.
Vinny Brooklyn
At an Aomori fes in Ueno-Koen. Well balanced even if served in a plastic cup.
Vinny Brooklyn
Been a while since at my sushi place in Tsukiji. Feels like home.
Vinny Brooklyn
This was brewed or released in March of this year, in support of kura in Ishikawa after the January earthquake. I pray they recover, and that so does the land of my birth (notwithstanding the return of Trump). As for the nihonshu yeah it’s pretty good. 👍
Vinny Brooklyn
In searching for this I see I had this last year, same place. No longer can say, “I’m getting old.” Instead have to say simply, “I am old.” Freshly opened bottle and it was fantastic. But don’t trust an old man.
Vinny Brooklyn
My wife had this as atsukan. Very dry.
Vinny Brooklyn
Just a free sample (service) taste. Should have bought a glass but past last order. Very interesting
Vinny Brooklyn
Now more than ever want to support Fukui (and Ishikawa). Another solid autumn release, well balanced and dry.
Vinny Brooklyn
Always trust Mrs Kikuta-san for what to drink. This was a splendid autumn hiyaoroshi.
Vinny Brooklyn
Again another choice was sold out. Eiko-Fuji makes good stuff, and this falls into that as a JDG. But the personality in my view is lacking.
Vinny Brooklyn
Balanced but unexciting
Vinny Brooklyn
The first sake I wanted was finished. This was a decent, dry second choice.
Vinny Brooklyn
Dodgers up 2-0, and I’m conflicted being a Mets/anti Yankee & anti Dodgers fan (inherited from my father) but want Ohtani to do well. So focus on the BayStars, a solid underdog. They’re not looking.
Unlike this Akiagari, which is very good on this rainy night.
Also: can I admit I be bought this at a supermarket that has upscale pretensions ?
Vinny Brooklyn
Maybe the highest I’ve ever had nihonshu (apart from an airplane).
Vinny Brooklyn
At a University of Rochester alumni event. One bottle hidden away. Surprisingly refined given the big brewery producer. And I was able to have most of it.
