We celebrated our grandson's first birthday ahead of schedule and thought the pink bottle looked good...easy to drink and delicious with Chirashi Sushi!
I was on my way home from Osaka Castle Hall and had a drink outside for the first time in a while. Nigori sake is available all year round, but the raw type is only available for a limited time.
I was sick and couldn't drink at the end of the year. I haven't fully recovered but a little bit... but still, good food is good food! I'll be sober from tomorrow until I feel better again.
The first nigori sake of the season, I mainly felt the shwash and sourness right after opening the bottle, but the sweetness became noticeable after a few days. Delicious! I plan to enjoy nigori-centric life from now until spring.
Awaji Island, purchased at the store on the second floor of the brewery (rustic and atmospheric space).
Sake with a gusto after a long time. It has a good aftertaste, so we enjoyed it with oden (Japanese rice wine).
I went to a roadside station in Tamba in search of black soybeans, and the amazake they served was very tasty, so I bought some! It was mild and easy to drink, as it was aged in the dam tunnel. The label on the back was on the opposite side (though it would have been more valuable if it were a bill or a coin).
It is refreshing as a ginjo-shu should be, but it also has an assertion of profound umami flavor and is very tasty. Perhaps it is the blessing of the Hakusan mountains...
