At 8% alcohol by volume, it is low in alcohol content among sake. If you didn't know any better, you would think it was amazake, but it is so sweet that you don't feel the alcohol.
Recommended for those who don't like the feeling of alcohol in sake.
For my third cup, I asked for a recommendation for heated sake and this one came up. This is the first time I've heard of it. I took a sip of the heated sake. The temperature could have been a little higher.
Today I was invited by Shinshin SY to go to a piano recital. It was my first time to go to such an event. It was very good. The live performance was very moving. My heart was refreshed. We didn't go straight home, but had a drink at a restaurant Shinshin-san found for us. It had been a while since I had been to Toyo Bijin, but it was delicious.
Closing of the day.
The last of Bessan's selections!
I think it's better to warm up the sake.
A little hotter than last time.
60 degrees, please.
I drank it hiya before and was impressed that it was too strong.
Hot sake is great!
We enjoyed the piano music and the sake, and promised to go back to Kushiro next time.

I found Houou Mita, which is a little expensive but I didn't know about it.
I asked the manager to tell me about it.
It seems to be a collaboration sake between Hououmida and this store.
He said it is more refreshing than regular Hououmida.
He said it is also served at this restaurant's sister restaurant, Sushi Restaurant.
I like Heki-ban, but it is lighter than Heki-ban.

Let's pair hot sake with fruity sake!
I've been curious about cel24 sake since we went to Kochi together last year.
Kameizumi was there!
Sake from this store comes in small clear bottles!
It's in the fridge, but I'd like it a little cooler.
The waitress brought some ice and served it on the rocks!
Sweet and fruity, pineapple and citrusy!
I'll drink the hot sake in no time and enjoy the Kameizumi 😌.

I heard that Beksan is into hot sake these days.
Then, which one should we choose?
The store's recommendation, Tottori sake.
The recommended temperature is 50 degrees Celsius.
I haven't had hot sake for a long time!
I think 50 degrees is a bit lukewarm.
The aroma is unique, just like that hot sake!
It's so cold outside due to the cold wave!
I think it's going to snow!
Let's drink some more 🍶🍶🍶🍶

Bessan chose this next!
We had Akitsuho 657 Next at Noe-san a while ago, so this is the original version of that sake!
The taste of Kaze no Mori is different from Toyo Bijin.
A nice wind is blowing 🙆🙆
Let's keep the food for this day light!
We will eat ehoumaki at home.

On this day, I was at a lofty event with Bec.
Piano recital by an acquaintance from Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music 🎹.
It was a heart-warming experience 😁.
After taking a photo with the pianist, Beksan and I had a toast here 🥂.
After listening to good music, it must be good to drink 🍶.
I didn't know about this Toyo Bijin sake!
Compared to the usual Toyo Bijin, the sweetness is more pronounced!
I was allowed to start with this one, which is my favorite.

Rice: Yamadanishiki
Polishing ratio unknown
Alcohol content 16
This sake is brewed from the harvested Yamadanishiki rice that is not of the specified size and is not distributed to the general public.
The last one is from the neat sweet category. A brand exclusively for wholesale. Too bad I couldn't take a picture of the sake bottle.
The mouthfeel is refreshingly sweet, with a touch of acidity coming later. I realized once again that I have been looking for a little more umami and drinkability lately. However, it tastes just right to finish off the meal.
