これまた福岡、黒兜 純米吟醸。焼酎に使われる黒麹を使って醸されたお酒さんです。 一口飲んでびっくり、甘い。とろりとした口当たりの中にはっきりとした甘味があります。柿みたいな甘味ですね。香りは穏やかながらふくよかな甘さがある。面白いですね。

Umakara Manzaku. Special Junmai once-fired sake. I was surprised that it was an autumn sake, and I didn't expect it to be available at this time of year. It has the umami and roundness typical of hiyaoroshi (cold-aged sake), and the extra maturity gives it a more subdued taste. However, the spiciness and astringency are still there, making it a very drinkable sake.

After work, I went to Torimoto Kojimachi to wish them a Happy New Year. They are having a Fukuoka fair right now, and there was some local sake from Fukuoka. Kansansui Junmai Ginjo 55% polished. It has a hint of sweetness. The aroma of white flowers is also present. It is also good that it is clear and has a nice sharpness. The snacks are pickled grated radish and liver patties. This is also a usual combination.

Hyakujuro Junmai Ginjo Autumn Cherry Blossom. It is a hiyaoroshi, a type of aged new sake "Sakura" shipped in spring, with a flowery aroma, refreshing mouthfeel, and moderate sweetness and umami. I see...so this is how it is supposed to be.

Today, I went to Torimoto-san near my workplace. I had a cup of Umakara Mansaku again, which I was allowed to drink the day before yesterday. It's still delicious, and it's perfect for the first drink of the day.
