Snacks] Tea beans
When poured into a glass, it has a thickened feeling, and as the label says, it looks like it might be thick. The first sip was indeed rich, but there was no unpleasant taste at all, and the lingering aftertaste was cool and refreshing. I was impressed by the fact that there are still sake with a flavor I had never tasted before.

[Snacks] Miso-glazed pork
I did an experiment to compare old and new drunken whales.
1) Purchased yesterday
(2) Purchased three years ago and stored in a sake cellar (-5 degrees Celsius)
(1) was dry with a nice aroma and a high acidity, but a little bit of a tangy taste was bothersome. (2) has transformed into a smooth dry sake with a moderate aroma, and is interesting because it seems to be a step up in quality.

Crowdfunding return gift. This Junmai sake is named after Sanemori Saito, a Heike warlord in the Genpei wars, who is associated with Kaga City. It is quite sharp and dry, but to be honest, it is not my favorite.
