A Drink on a Trip to Hiroshima
It was fun talking with the owner of the izakaya!
I just can't remember what the drinks tasted like 😰.
Hard to check in for drinks outside...

At Izakaya on a trip to Hiroshima
I like the balance of flavor and spiciness.
I wish I could meet you somewhere at a liquor store.

I had never had summer sake before, so I bought it for its name and appearance.
When I bought it, I was told that it was like a rum jelly, so I took a sip to see what it was like, and I could smell and taste the sweetness.
I thought the sweetness would linger on the palate, but it quickly fades away.
It's not a food sake, so it's best enjoyed after a meal by itself or with a light snack.

Polishing ratio 92
No particular peculiarities or unpleasant tastes, but good as a medium-bodied sake with the desired spiciness, umami, and acidity.
Both the polish and the taste were "hard-core"!

I don't know if it was the characteristics of the Manzai rice or the degree of polishing, but I remember it tasted a bit bland.
I would like to try a more polished version.

It gives the impression of a solid sake in the mouth, but the aftertaste is sweet... too sweet 😓.
When I bought it, I was told to try it on the rocks if it was too strong for me, but to be honest, even on the rocks it was tough 😰.
I'm trying different brands, but this is one that made me realize again that I don't like sweetness.

Purchased alcohol that I had always been curious about.
Sweet sake that is not sweet.
I don't dislike it.
I feel nostalgic for some reason.
Added on May 2: Now that I think about it, it's more like makgeolli than sake.

Taste, sweetness, sharpness is my favorite.
However, a little bitterness lingers in the aftertaste.
Maybe it depends on the food pairing.

Purchased at Gurunaru Tokushima Roadside Station
When I drank it cold, it was crisp and dry.
The bitterness in the aftertaste is a bit harsh.
The recommendation on the back of the bottle is to drink it at room temperature or hot.

I entered the store and without even saying hello, a bottle was placed on the cash register counter and of course, I purchased it.
I bought it, of course.

At the company's departmental drinking party.
I was surprised to see Daiginjo in the all-you-can-drink menu!
They served us various other daiginjos from Niigata, but I couldn't take a picture of the labels, so I don't know the brand name. Too bad!

Sweetness, deliciousness, acidity balanced to taste.
A little bitterness in the aftertaste, good sharpness
It goes easily up to about 2 cups while eating, but it is a little heavy beyond that.
