Third drink of the day. Brewed in Shiga, northwest of Lake Biwa, using local sake rice Tamakae. Made with local sake rice, Tamakawai. Warmed to hot. It has a strong umami flavor and is mild. Well-balanced acidity and sweetness. Best served with aged cured ham, where the two personalities combine.

This was my second drink of the day. The other day, I had a very good Etsukaijin junmai sake (Akaban Omachi) warmed up, and this time I had a junmai ginjo (Hachitan-Nishiki) lightly nigori raw, served cold. It was great with cold vegetables! But my memory has drifted. Just a reminder of what I drank.

This is a matured sake, having been laid down for 10 years in the 2008 B.Y.. It has a sweet, caramel-like aroma, a strong umami flavor, and a surprisingly clean finish. Goes great with heated sake. The newspaper conveys the atmosphere of the time.

We had it at room temperature and warmed up. The combination of Shiga, Namahashiro and Tamakae is similar to the Shichibonjari we had the other day, but the flavors are completely different.
