Today's Hundred Hundred. Two mochi.
Cute name.
It is said to be made of 100% Omachi.
It is a commemorative sake for the 200th anniversary of the company's founding.
The origin of the name comes from the number "hochi" for multiples of 100 and "futahochi" for 200, which became known as "futamochi" at the end of the Heian period.
The rice used is "Omachi" produced by Mame Farm in Okayama Prefecture, with which we have a special relationship. The yeast used is Kumamoto yeast. It is a classic type made with traditional rice and yeast.
The taste is gentle and mild with a mild aroma using Kumamoto yeast. It has a soft taste characteristic of Omachi, a moderate sweetness, and an elegant and refreshing aroma of Kumamoto yeast".
200 years in business, wow!
Delicious.

Thank you for your comment, ma-ki-! Yes, 200 years! But the sake industry, there are some places that are much older at all, Kenbishi in Hyogo is over 500 years old and Tsukiyotan in Kochi is over 400 years old 😳‼️ sake is a wonderful Japanese tradition 🇯🇵

Today's dry wind. Ah why, he said.
It seems that "Ayawashi" is not a good wind that makes ships suffer. This Ayawai is usually delicious.
It does not disturb the meal and is a delicious food wine.

Today's Kozu.
The first kitsune I drink is a white fox.
What is this feeling? I don't think I've tasted it before.
It's good, but maybe it's a bit fuzzy. Is it exactly like being fooled by a fox?
Interesting!

Today is a drunken whale.
Hanagoromo.
It is perfect for this time of year when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
Not so much sake-like as one tends to feel with regular drunken whales, but a gentle, mellow, and delicious sake.
Delicious!
This sake is a blend of Junmai Daiginjo brewed with Kochi's sake rice, Gin no Yume, and Junmai Daiginjo made with Yamada Nishiki🍶.

Mimuro cedar today.
Today is the second day of the new fiscal year, and it's cold in the flowers.
It has a strong, lactic acidity, light and fruity, and gorgeous sake.
Miwasan, the god of sake, and Ookami Shrine. When I visited there before, I might have only known that it is the oldest shrine in Japan and the one where Kazuhiro Kiyohara got married with Aki😅.
Thank goodness for sake.

IWA5 from Toyama Drink Comparison Special Set today
At Antenna Shop Toyama Bar. Since we were there, we also had a bottle of IWA5. It was developed by a Frenchman who was the chief brewer of Dom Perignon.
Well, this is interesting!
In short, it's a blend of 5 different liquors? (According to the official description, there are about 20 original liquors 😅)
Complex! Delicate but bold!
I feel like it has many faces.
Too bad it's a bit expensive and only 30ml 😅.
According to the official description.
"The exquisitely resonant warmth, gravity, and vitality expressed by Assemblage 5 are a distinctly avant-garde character, accentuated by the contrast between palette (flavor) and nose (aroma). Pure, balanced fruity and floral aromas with an austere, gentle depth that brings a definite sense of layering."
I honestly don't know what that sounds like, but it's delicious 🥂 sebon!

Today, it is a shop keeper.
The first YAMAMORI.
The yellow label stands out and looks great.
The rice is not mentioned on the label, but it seems to be Hachitan-Nishiki, which I love.
It was fresh and juicy, with a lingering bitter sharpness.
It is sweeter than I expected, and I wonder if the sweetness is due to the orikarami.
The name "Okunokami" written with "Yamori" is very Japanese.

Junmai Daiginjyo 40%5%, 100% Akita Sake Komachi. As the name suggests, the rice polishing ratio is 45%.

Today is cold chrysanthemum.
Daiginjo made with Fukuoka's sake rice, Jushikinmu. It is said to be a spring tsukimi sake.
It is gassy, silky, and lactic acidic. It is quite dry, and I felt it was an adult sake for a quiet evening, rather than a lively, boisterous one.
Kangiku Meikozo is a romantic 🌙.

Hourai today.
I almost forgot about this one, and it was just about to remain hidden.

The fact that it is wrapped in newspaper and recommended to be served on the rocks is interesting and nice!
