On this day, I had a casual drink with my colleagues. This was the third bar. I was already too drunk to remember what it tasted like. This is a famous sake from Kanda, my hometown.
The second glass was a light nigori from Sairai. Slightly effervescent, with a light sweetness and a clean aftertaste. This is my favorite. After all, light nigori is delicious. I went home with another glass.
I enter a restaurant in Hatanodai that I have been curious about for some time. There are many customers and the place is lively. There is a large refrigerator with a large selection of sake. I ordered the Nabeshima that immediately caught my eye. It has an elegant sweetness, a slight carbonation, and a melon-like aroma. Delicious.
The fifth last drink is Flay. It is said to be a cheering sake. It is said to be a cheering sake and should be drunk warmed. It was nigori (nigori is a kind of cloudy rice liquor), but it tasted very nice and mildly warmed. I was satisfied with all the heated sake I had today.
The second glass was a Taketsuru. Last time I had a black one, which the proprietress had warmed up, but today it was nigori. Today's was nigori. It was the first nigori heated sake I've ever had. It's not sweet, but it's very mild and tasty.
Today I had a casual drink with a junior colleague from work. We came to a heated sake restaurant that we often come to these days. We asked for their sake recommendations. The first sake was Ei. It's a very refreshing sake. The engine has started to rev up.
March. I stay at my parents' house again this evening. I have no sake, so I buy some local Fukuju at the local supermarket. The bottle is bright blue. I drink it without any expectations, and perhaps because of that, it tastes surprisingly good. I drank half of it and brought it home the next day.
The second bottle is the moon after the rain. The mouthfeel is soft, but you can feel the dryness along with the aroma of rice. It is good for drinking well. It was quite crowded in the car, but we enjoyed the sake slowly and had a good time.
On this day, I moved to my parents' house in Kobe. I bought two small bottles and some pickles in the basement of Tokyo Station and went to Izakaya Shinkansen. First, the Saku. This is sweet. It is straight and light, but the sweet flavor comes through.
I felt it was sweeter than I expected, but I quickly drank it down.
The second cup was a long time since I have had this one. It has a refreshing aroma, a sense of umami, and a smooth finish. The aftertaste is dry and gradually tightens up as you drink more. Both cups were delicious. Both cups were delicious, but I had to pull out of the bar today because I was standing.
On this day, I will return from Tokyo Station. If this is the case, let's drop in for a while. I ordered Kamikawa Taisetsu for the first time in a while. It has a sweet aroma with a very slight carbonation on the tongue. When you take a sip, it has a rich flavor. The aftertaste is dry and strong. It is interesting to see the change.
My family bought it for me as a souvenir from Toyama. This is the first time I have seen it. I think it should be warmed up. The umami flavor rises gradually. The aftertaste is smooth and clean. Heating sake makes you feel warm.
This is my sixth bottle of Daishichi this winter. It's still the standard heated sake. Compared it with Hatsuson. This one is also mild, but a little dry. Delicious. We also warmed up Tengu Mai and compared three sakes. Tengumai tasted completely different.
The last of the three-day weekend was spent drinking at home. I bought a bottle of Hatsuson at a local liquor store and heated it up. This is the best sake on a cold day. It has a round, gentle sweetness that spreads in the mouth with a light finish. Perfect for heating up.
We also got some jishin. Needless to say. The rest I didn't take pictures of, but we had Snow Kayasha Bishu no Sekkei, Houou Mita, and another dry sake.
Today I went out for a drink with my colleagues. Some of the members had ties to Akita, so we had a glass of Yukino Kayasha. We drank it yesterday, but today we drank it raw. It is delicious.
