Drinks consumed at the lunch buffet
I had the impression that it had been available in all restaurants for a long time.
The taste was "safe".
Low alcohol content, no peculiarities
Good for lunchtime drinking.
The rice used is Yuyamanishiki.
The acidity is refreshing and the sweetness comes on slowly.
The bitterness on the back end is just right, and I can understand why the liquor store owner said, "This is different from the Koei-Kiku I've had before.
It was delicious. ‼️
The rice used is Banshu Yamadanishiki Special A polished to 30%.
Brewed in, what, 1988 ‼️
As expected, this is the first old sake of this age.
I was excited to see how it would taste, but it did not have the sense of maturity I had imagined. It was very smooth and gentle in the mouth, but the umami component came in slowly and steadily.
It has a punch, and I guess it is the type of sake you can enjoy slowly.
It was a very impressive sake. ❣️
Good morning, Sana D 🐥.
I'm amazed at how smooth the drink is even this long ago, must be the result of the 30% polish ✨It's also great that it was preserved!
I like the "timing of sipping" 😆.
Good morning, Mr. Ponchan 😃.
Does it depend on the method of aging and the quality of the liquor? I'm not sure what it is, but it's interesting to know about the world of old sake. I know some of them are not so good, but the world of old sake is also interesting: ❗️
Rice used is something from Yamagata Prefecture
Since I started drinking sake, I have received this sake every year.
The impression from the beginning remains the same: fresh and with a moderate sweetness. It is fresh and has a moderate sweetness.
It was a stable taste. ❗️
The rice used is Tojo Tokujo Tokujo Tokujo Tokujo Yamadanishiki.
It is a delicious taste that leaves you speechless!
It has a very beautiful mouthfeel and a pleasant spreading sensation. ❣️
Don't complain, just drink it. ‼️
Rice used is something from Aomori Prefecture
It is not flashy, but it is refreshing and drinkable.
The bitter taste that comes in a big gulp finishes it off.
It's delicious. ❣️
Rice used is Yamadanishiki
It has a refreshing taste, but the bitterness and umami come into play later.
It goes well with strong flavored foods. ❗️
You really don't miss it!
Last drink of the day
This sake has a strong alcohol taste and a strong rice flavor.
It is not heavy, and although it is not quite refreshing, the aftertaste is clean and crisp.
I was satisfied. ❗️
I'm not sure of the specs, but for being 8-9 years old, it doesn't have that much of an aged feel and is juicy and powerful.
It is a sake to be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere.
The third of the Eiko Fuji drinking contest
Rice used is Dewanosato
This is a fruity, gorgeous and delicious sake. ❗️
Each of the three bottles has its own character and I enjoyed them all: ‼️
The second cup of the Eiko Fuji drinking contest
Melon taste just like the label says!
It has a nice round sweetness that you will never get tired of. ❗️
This one is also delicious!
The first drink outing of 2025 started with a drinking contest by Eiko Fuji!
The rice used was Gohyakumangoku from Niigata Prefecture
A clear, light, dry sake!
It was perfect for the first sake of our Japanese food-centered menu.
Rice used is Yamadanishiki
Due to various circumstances, this sake was brewed at Shimizu Seizaburo Shoten of Saku.
This is a valuable sake, but we are relieved to hear that it is now in normal operation.
It has a slight bitterness, and the rich umami flavor comes through slowly.
It has a nice sharpness and a quintessential balance. ‼️
It is a bit close to "Saku", maybe?
