Shikoku Sake, Kochi Sake at Last
Tosa Shiragiku has been a long time coming.
Junmai Daiginjo Asahimai
We had a lot of fun talking about Shikoku!
We called our good friends in Shikoku and gave them an update on what we've been up to.
We hope to see them again!
The sake had a nice aroma and was easy to drink.
Kochi sake has an image of being dry and quite harsh, which seems to be less and less these days.

I wrote that I was going to forgo the Hidakami from Ishinomaki tonight, but I still decided to drink it for the last time!
Junmai Watabune No.2 is new to me!
A little dry!
It is said that Hidakami is the best to go with sushi, so this is the only way to go with tuna sushi!
So we were able to enjoy it in the limited time we had tonight!
We exchanged lines with the manager, so she told us to contact her for future reservations and sent us off!
Thank you very much for your hospitality!

The ones on the top shelf are sold separately.
The manager, who I have spoken to several times, came to me and said thank you very much for all your help!
I replied that I would continue to come to the restaurant as there are always a lot of sakes I am interested in.
Then, the manager brought a bottle of Jikin red label Omachi and asked us to try it!
I selfishly asked if I could have another one since I had recently received this one,
I had noticed an interesting sake in the top shelf of the cold storage behind my seat, so I asked for this one.
It's a restaurant-only Wa-etsu!
It was expensive, but I got a mouthful!
It was indescribably delicious sake!
Fresh and fruity!
Thank you very much!
