Today's Kanji Takachiyo Junmai Sake is limited to (Niigata) prefecture. It was served cold with shime saba, processed mackerel from Ishikawa Prefecture. The seafood available at the supermarket is definitely better than in Tokyo, probably because of its proximity to the sea. A four-pack of Takachiya lasted only an hour for the two of us. It was delicious!

Today there was a paid tasting at Takahashiya at the east exit of Echigo Yuzawa station, so I stopped by. I tasted and purchased various items, but first was a cup of Yukio Junmai Sake because I wanted a bottle. I paired it with spicy pork shabu-shabu and chilled it down to a cool temperature. Delicious, a deeply delicious supper. It was fun to talk a lot with the brewer of Aoki Sake Brewery - the tasting.

When I saw it in the store, I thought I would heat it up, but in fact, I chilled it to the last minute and drank it cold in no time at all. I was surprised that Kirinzan has such a bottle, but next time I'll try it hot. I'll have to go look for it, since it seems to be limited in number. And a thermometer is a must.
