A Houraizumi junmai ginjo from "Sake Rabo" which I received as a souvenir on my way back from drinking junmai daiginjos such as "Sora" at "Koji MARUTANI" in Nagoya, which is owned by Sekiya Shuzo the other day.
I drank it with tuna as a side dish.
The sweetness and umami of the koji spread out, and I enjoyed the lingering aftertaste with a rounded mouthfeel 🍶.

Sekiya Brewery: 2009 Old Sake of Horaisen's Valuable Sake "Sora
A treasured sake that has been kept for 10 years while retaining the quality of Daiginjo, Sekiya Brewery's signature product, "Houraisen Sora".
It is a beautiful amber color with a pale gold shimmer, which has been slowly matured in low temperature storage.
The charm of old sake is its unique aroma called "aged aroma", smoky depth, caramel-like sweetness, and moderate acidity, which is also delicious.
I was happy to have encountered it.
We finished with takikomi-gohan (rice cooked in an earthenware pot).
