I got it in Tokyo during the Bon holidays, and although I wasn't sure about the 70% polished finish, the slight effervescence and refreshing bitterness gave it a tonic-water feel. I want to go to Hokkaido!
I heard that Handa's Shikishima had been restored at Azumaya Sake Shop, so I bought it. It has a gaseous feeling as if it were slightly carbonated. Fresh Ichibanboshi
KALDI original. It has a more robust mouthfeel and drinkability than the label implies, but the low alcohol content gives it a strange balance with a refreshing aftertaste.
I just received the sake I squeezed at Houraisen Sake Rabo! When I drank it, it was clearly fresh and had a bitter taste that I've never felt in any sake I've ever had. I wonder if it will change after a while.
Toyobai, which was recommended to me and for which I searched for over a year, was found at Tomiya Sake Shop in Nagoya and acquired. It is sweet and tasty with a slightly thick texture. I would like to try the Ginjo series!
Nadeshiko no Hana Nama Mazake (flower yeast brewed Nadeshiko no Hana). The 3rd prize that the wife drew at the sake brewery's local sake gacha. She exchanged it for her own float strap (5th prize). It has a summery sake feel.
I saw a new series of Houraisen and bought it. For some reason, it was slightly discounted. I heard that they keep the alcohol content as low as wine (14%) with the intention of exporting to overseas. I served it at room temperature for today. It went down very well!
Preparing sake for the end of the year (2)
I bought a bottle of Kenryo, which I've had my eye on for a while, and prepared for the end of the year. A Happy New Year to all...
