シカタロウ
Yatagarasu today. Honjozo.
Sake from Yoshino, Nara. It was served lentil and heated.
Yatagarasu is a beautiful golden crow. It is said that Emperor Jinmu guided him on his way from Kumano to Yamato, and that he is the incarnation of the sun. It is also called the god of guidance, etc. It is very auspicious.
Surprisingly, it is like a hot rice juice alcohol-infused with an elegant sweetness that is not overpowering. It is quite tasty among one-cup drinks.
I liked it so much that I looked up a lot about Yatagarasu and the brewery, and found some unfortunate news. It's a good omen for a good sake. I know it must be hard to run a business, but I hope they will change their mind and do their best.
