Rice used is Yamadanishiki
It is not so hot as to be super spicy, but it is light and crisp.
There is also a hint of sweetness.
It is perfect for sashimi.
Happy New Year to you all: ㊗️
I have been saving up posts for 2024 since November, but since this is the first post of the new year, I'll post a "typical" sake first.
Rice used is unknown.
I served this sake at my parents' house on New Year's Eve, and they all thought it was "too sweet! It was a low evaluation, but it went great with sushi, or rather, gari (pickled ginger). ❣️
In the end, my partner and I drank all of it together.
Happy New Year, Sana D. 🎍.
I wish you a happy new year 🙇.
Even if your family gives you low marks, zodiac bottles are nice and New Year-like: ⤴️
Let's enjoy the start of another year of drinking ✨😊.
Sana D.
Happy New Year ^_^
Label to my liking😊.
Sweet drinks are hard to pair with food, but my wife who loves sweet drinks might be into it 😁.
I look forward to working with you again this year 🙇.
Sana D. Happy New Year to you 😄 Thank you for your support this year! This is the first time I have seen the nineteen zodiac signs label. It is a sweet sake, isn't it?
New Year's Eve sake is from this long-awaited man.
I could finally drink it!
I've been slacking off on posting this year, and at this point, I've accumulated about 2 months worth of sake.
But I'll post this one first, just in case I get around to it.
This one is so fresh that it's almost like it's a draft (⁉️) and has a fresh citrusy bitterness to it.
I think it would be even better if I let it sit for a couple of days to let the sweetness develop, but it's so good, I've had the bottle open for about an hour now and it's almost gone...
I can certainly understand why it would be hard to find.
Well, the year 2024 is almost over,
I would like to greet the new year with gratitude for having been able to maintain my health and drinking plenty of sake without any problems this year.
I wish you all a happy new year.
