The seventh glass is a comparison of Eiko Fuji. This Hoshitenkouro 2025 is made with comets from Hokkaido. It is one of the best Junmai Daiginjos we have had today.
Yakiniku and heated sake. Hakutsuru is a local sake from Kobe and Nada. We received a bottle from Shinshin SY. The more you drink, the sweeter it gets.
It's been a while since I've been to Tsukiji. I have been a regular customer of this restaurant for a long time, and since it will close this month, I went to get some delicious fish. The sake was a dry junmai sake. It has a strong flavor and goes well with the albacore.
First, it was served cold. It was smooth on the palate, but not very powerful. I thought this was a good idea, so the next time I had it warmed up, the flavor of the sake spread out.
This year's outside drinking starts with Nabeshima. It has a clean, elegant sweetness that spreads in the mouth. It is one of the best Nabeshima I have ever tasted.
New Year's Eve is Kiritanpo hot pot with Hinai Jidori chicken. With Akita's Yuki no Bijin, of course. This junmai ginjo is made entirely from the rare Akita sake rice "Koudou Shinko". Soft and gentle sweetness and refreshing acidity. Very satisfying.
A classmate of mine who played baseball with me in college returned to his parents' home in Okayama last year to devote himself to the family business. The other day, I got this Yamanari Shuzo's [Ran-no-Homare] Sakura-kei at the airport and had it immediately. It is a very good sake, with a delicious and refreshing taste.
