Apple, please, is accurate. Interesting contrast with some sashimi.

Vinny Brooklyn
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.

Third 4-coin choice at RH Craft Sake Week 2025. Nicely balanced & smooth. I could get used to this.

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.

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”.

Tried something new in small bottle size. This went well with shabu shabu style pork.
