Today I was invited by Shinshin SY to go to a piano recital. It was my first time to go to such an event. It was very good. The live performance was very moving. My heart was refreshed. We didn't go straight home, but had a drink at a restaurant Shinshin-san found for us. It had been a while since I had been to Toyo Bijin, but it was delicious.
Purchased at a local supermarket. I bought it even though it was jungin because I enjoyed a heated Kido Junmai sake at Man Fat. I drank it cold and warmed. Both are good. I'll enjoy half of it cold.
The second glass was a black cow, which I have not had for a long time. It has a clear aroma and a good mouthfeel. The umami is clear. The aftertaste is dry and tight. I like this taste. I'm going home lightly today.
The January stock is finally finished, and the February stock is starting to accumulate.
Ten of us came here last week for the after-party of a drinking party, but today I visited quietly by myself. I was too drunk to remember much and asked what it was like. Did he order a 14yo? I don't remember. So today I asked him what he ordered then and what he ordered now. I remembered this one, but I had to re-listen to it again. The aroma is good. I enjoyed it alone.
Home drinking. A staple in heated sake. This is my fourth bottle this winter. We also have a separate bottle of dry sake, so we are completely addicted to it. Of course, it is served heated. Stable taste. It sinks in.
I will have another glass. This is also a good sake. It is sweet and delicious. Nagano is also deep, which I have never known before. I can understand the strength of the taste when I drink it with eggplant miso. Today was almost all Nagano. Thank you very much.
Next up was a push on sake from the proprietress's hometown. I heard it won a gold medal. The proprietress explained that it was the best in the world. Great expectations. The sake has a slight effervescence and an elegant sweet flavor. But the pungent taste remains on the tongue. It is elegant but deep in flavor. It naturally goes well with the strong taste of eggplant miso. This is delicious.
This is a service by the proprietress. I pour a sip and have it poured. Bon appétit! It's a bit dry. The sweet and tasty flavor comes in a big bang, and then it finishes refreshingly. This is certainly delicious.
It seems like every day this week I am greeting the New Year. Tonight we went to Kibana. When I asked for a good sake to warm up, the proprietress served me a dry sake from her hometown. The mouthfeel is crisp and dry, with a delicious umami flavor. It starts the engine.
Drinking at home. Bought it for heating at a local liquor store. It's my first time. First, I drank it cold. It's dry and refreshing. It has an acidity in the aftertaste, but it tastes light.
When heated, it has an umami taste. It has a relaxing taste. The acidity gives it a smooth aftertaste. Good when heated. It sinks in.
The third drink is the first time I see you. I didn't know it was from Nada in Kobe. Although I am a local, I did not know that. It was a little sweet and a little strong, and tasted delicious. I was satisfied with the sweet and tasty type today.
Second cup. I have not had much Kagawa sake. I had had Kinryo once. It was super dry. This time, it was a completely different taste. It is mildly sweet and delicious. You can feel the aroma of rice. The aftertaste is a little tight. Delicious.
January inventory is still available. On this day, I stopped by a local sake bar on my way home from work. I had three kinds of sake in my usual set. The first one was Shitaizumi. It has a refreshing taste with a strong umami flavor. It has a strong flavor.
The second cup is Koei Kiku. Long time no see. Light nigori. The sourness of the schwarziness gives way to a slightly sweet aftertaste. It is easy to drink and delicious. I'm going home with this today.
The first cup is Raifuku. The aroma is good. The sweet and savory taste is surprisingly strong and distinct. The aftertaste is finished with a mild bitterness.
Again, we visited to greet the New Year. Again, I ordered heated sake for the first time. The picture shows only the sake bottle, but when I asked later what brand it was, I was told it was "Isobeki. This is an Aichi sake that is only sold at two other breweries in Kanda. He told me that he usually gets the honjozo sake cold, but he uses junmai for the heated sake. This sake has no bitterness and the umami can be felt slowly, and it is a taste that sinks in. We had two bottles.
We went to Kanda Man◯ for New Year's greetings. When I asked for heated sake for the first time, they served me Kido. Surprising! I thought it was supposed to be served cold, but they have it for heating sake. It was heated, but the sweetness, sourness, and aroma were mild and moderate. This is delicious.
I bought a bottle of Daishichi dry sake at a local liquor store to warm up this winter. I immediately heated it up and found it to be deeply delicious. It's a little crispier than the usual. It's a little crispier than usual, but it's also delicious.
I can't help saying that until the third cup. Of course, this is my first time to drink Tottori Umezu, but this warmed up sake is more brown. But I like this complex flavor. I forgot to take a picture, but let me post it.
