Finally, next week... the long awaited Sake no Jin!
So here it is, a commemorative label of Koshino Umezato Junmai Ginjo!
It is named "Umezato", the haiku name of Mitsukuni Mito, with the intention of making it a "famous sake known only to those in the know", and is suitable for any occasion, whether as a stand-alone sake or as an in-between meal sake.
It has a clear and gorgeous apple aroma, a sweet honey flavor, and a smooth, smooth texture.
The sweetness of the nectar, the smoothness of the flavor, and the sweetness of the taste.
The sweetness is followed by a hint of sourness
The bitter taste spreads in the back of the mouth.
It disappears gently as it goes down the throat.
It is slightly dry with a full-bodied flavor. It's also good warmed up!
I'm looking forward to the Sake-no-jin!
Last night's final part of the final season of Shinkage no Kyojin, the first part, was great. It's a series that keeps dragging on and on and on, and I wonder when it's going to end, but it's worth watching and I don't want it to end forever...! I don't care if it's the second part of the final season, part 1, or something...
Koshino Umezato, Umezato... and before you know it, it's Levi...! The exchange with Mr. Hanji was the best... cried
Today's Albi was so close... We managed to draw.
Next time, let's win!
