Vinny Brooklyn
In searching for this I see I had this last year, same place. No longer can say, “I’m getting old.” Instead have to say simply, “I am old.” Freshly opened bottle and it was fantastic. But don’t trust an old man.

My wife had this as atsukan. Very dry.

Just a free sample (service) taste. Should have bought a glass but past last order. Very interesting

Now more than ever want to support Fukui (and Ishikawa). Another solid autumn release, well balanced and dry.

Always trust Mrs Kikuta-san for what to drink. This was a splendid autumn hiyaoroshi.

Now this is an autumn hiyaroshi. Outstanding even if it is still sweaty time, season wise. (Newly opened bottle helps.). Had to drink too fast because we had to get home.

Getting closer to the Autumn feeling
Vinny Brooklyn
Even though it’s Hiyaroshi season, still 30+ degrees today. Not feeling very Autumn like and this nihonshu didnt help the feelings much. Still a well knit drink.

Maybe the first I’ve had of this but the Five is around. Balanced and finely acidic.

From the Kura’s website “This light cloudy sake is made using 100% Tsuyahime rice, a specially cultivated rice grown by Inoue Farm in Yamagata Prefecture, with over 70% pesticides and chemical fertilizers removed. Tsuyahime is not a rice usually used for brewing sake, but rather a representative food rice of Yamagata Prefecture.”
Quite mellow but with a soft almost sour aroma. Really good.

Fukushima really making very good stuff these days. All those gold medals reflect how strong all of their Kura’s products are.

Very enjoyable — balanced, smooth and tasty but not overpowering.

A Thursday night that feels like a Friday since tomorrow is a holiday. So out we go for some nihonshu and fish. First of the evening.

Thank you for the compliment on the sake from my hometown, Minamiaizu-cho! The sister of the brewer here is a kindergarten classmate of mine.
