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.

Vinny Brooklyn
Last of second three tasting flights. Basic, traditional stuff.
Vinny Brooklyn
Second of second three tasting flight. Good match with anago & grilled ebi head (says my wife).
Vinny Brooklyn
Second of second three tasting flight. Dry but not as dry as the prior Nagano. Quite elegant and easy to drink. No good photos on this set unfortunately.
Vinny Brooklyn
Last of first 3 tasting flight. The label isn’t lying — this is extremely dry. If that’s what you seek, this is what to have.
Vinny Brooklyn
Second of first 3 tasting flight. A little acidic but smooth.
Vinny Brooklyn
First of the first 3 tasting flight. Even though some age, still had freshness of a Nama Genshu Muroka. Rare to have a Shimane nihonshu but this quite enjoyable. As noted in my last post address of sushiya is wrong; it’s in Shirokanedai 6-chome now.
Vinny Brooklyn
Doing this backwards this is the last sake of the night but first full ichigo. Hadn’t had much experience with nihonshu from Mie but this was very pleasant. Subtle and refined. Also the sushiya is now in Shirokane 6-chome area. Nice master & staff.
Vinny Brooklyn
Better than expected from “ordinary”.
Vinny Brooklyn
Tried something new in small bottle size. This went well with shabu shabu style pork.
Vinny Brooklyn
Second of the 2-pack from Akita Antenna shop. Also JG but different rice makeup: 60% Yamadanishiki & 40% Tamae. Also different label color but otherwise the same.
Vinny Brooklyn
A reliable brand from Kochi. Only wish it was as memorable as the label.
Vinny Brooklyn
As with the glass earlier from Miyagi, it’s been a while since I had something from Nagano. A solid, balanced JG that I could drink all night.
Vinny Brooklyn
Crisp and sharp, both in a good way. Well made.
Vinny Brooklyn
Second of the evening. It being a Friday in Lent a fish and vegetable dinner; sake is rice (mostly) so I’m onsides with the Roman Church. This one had one pasteurization and this some freshness.
Vinny Brooklyn
My wife had it atsukan and I had it sumitai at the end of the evening. While pleasant both ways, maybe hot is better.
