A cup of sake while waiting at the soba noodles restaurant.
It seems to be a limited edition sake. Very easy to drink. The following is from the brewer's website
The Kujukuri-hama coast near our brewery has a variety of seasonal expressions. We understand that one of the meanings of brewing sake here is to understand and express the climate, including the sense of the seasons. Just as what we eat and what our bodies require changes with the seasons, the sake we offer should also change daily. This seasonal series expresses what is unique to Japan and to this region.
Junmai Nama Hashiroshi Nama Genjyu without filtration, apparently using a rice called Nojoho. It has a high alcohol content of 19 degrees. It is a sake that cannot be found in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
It has a rich flavor.
I sometimes drink Kiku-Masamune in barrels, but I bought a bottle of Josen. I bought a bottle of Kami-Sen.
It's summer, but I'll probably drink it warmed.
I often drink Tamanomitsu, but where did the sake name come from? I was curious and looked at the website...
The beautiful sake name "Tamanomitsu" was given to the brewery by its founder, Nakaya Rokuzaemon, a devotee of the Kumano Hayatama-taisha shrine. The sake was given the precious name "Tamano Hikari" (meaning "sake with shining balls") in the hope that the spirits of the main deities, Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, would be reflected, or "shine," reflecting the light of their spirits. In Japan, it is rare to receive the name of sake from the priest of a shrine.
The sake offered as omizake is inseparable from the shrine. Tama" means "shining spirit. It is a very good name that evokes the spirit of shining sake," said Akira Ueno, chief priest of Kumano Hayatama-taisha Shrine.
We are grateful for the invisible power that transcends human knowledge in brewing sake with human hands. This awe of nature is also reflected in the sake's name.
The sake is named after the sake brewer.
It is like an old wine. They want it to be in contact with the air. It was served in a wine glass.

I wonder if it's all Chinese characters and marketing for Chinese people. ⁉︎ It's slightly sweet and tasty, though.
