Timeline
sikamaruSince we had drunk half a cup each, we wanted just one more. So Isojiman came out. It is my favorite sake. The overall balance is very good, and it has a nice sharpness. A model sake. Everything was delicious from start to finish. sikamaruThe third cup (second cup of sake) is Shimehari Tsuru. The Junmai Ginjo was served just as the nigiri was about to start. It has a slightly stronger flavor than the Sawanoi sake, and goes well with the vinegared rice. sikamaruYear-end party at a sushi restaurant. The first drink was beer and the second was Sawanoi. I don't often drink dry sake when I buy it for myself, but a big dry sake goes very well with good food. It has a nice sharpness, and the sake and the meal go down a treat. sikamaruThe second cup I asked for omakase. Urakasumi with a stylish label. It is a Junmai Daiginjo, so it has a clear and sharp taste. The aroma is moderate and easy to drink. Since it was lunchtime, I asked for a half gou, but I should have asked for a full gou. sikamaruEveryone around us was a foreigner. We had no choice but to have lunch because we could no longer get a reservation. It was really luxurious to have sushi and good sake for lunch. The first sake was the stablemate, Ganki. It is a very dry and refreshing sake, but it is very tasty and full of flavor. When in doubt, go for GANKI. sikamaruThe goose egg was served at this restaurant before. It was delicious then, too, but I was not able to check it in. This time it seemed quite sweet, but it was my third cup and the meal was at the end of the day, and it seemed sweet, so I am not confident in my evaluation of the sake as a stand-alone taste. It was delicious. sikamaruThe first cup of omakase. Since the server knew what I liked, it was a clear, sweet and tasty sake. I have been curious about this sake, which I have recently been calling a "four-character idiomatic" type sake (I named it as such). I am glad to be able to drink the omakase, which I would not be able to buy myself for a while. sikamaruThe second glass of omakase. It has a stronger umami flavor than the previous Amami, and tastes more like sake. It was as if the taste of the sushi and the sake respected each other. sikamaruThe first drink that came out of the omakase. I was wondering whether I should buy it myself. But both Omachi and Yamada-Nishiki looked so good that I was wondering which one to buy and ended up not buying. It was light and fizzy, but had a delicious umami and sweetness.
