アルコールは強くないのに好きなので、夕食時には妻(自分より強い)と何か飲んでます。 最近は寒暖に関係なく、日本酒率が高いです。 それ以外は、ビールや、チューハイ。 食後のウイスキー(グレンハンター21年、セントジェームス12年等シングルモルトメイン)もストレートでちょこちょこ飲みますが、せいぜい20mlほど。 コメントは備忘録的な主観のため、参考にはならないかもです。 2024年4月 蔵元部創設

8 → 8.5 points (wife: 8 points) Rice used: Kitashizuku (produced in Shintotsukawa, Hokkaido) Rice polishing ratio: 50 Alcohol content: 17% (undiluted) Purchased from: Jizake No Sake Shop, Yushuya (Kiyota-ku, Sapporo) Shupo when opened Almost no gas Slightly sweet melon and grape-like top notes The same gentle aroma as the first sip, the full rice flavor and soft sweetness spreads with moderate acidity, and it finishes quickly with a hint of bitterness and a little alcohol spiciness. The sweetness is not too strong, and the rice flavor is well balanced with the freshness and overall mildness. After the second day, it becomes even more mellow and delicious! It went well with hamburgers, fried oysters, spicy cod roe, and Genghis Khan.
