takashi
The first bottle of the year.
Soft acidity and a clean taste.
I drank it alternately with Tasake's Zodiac label, which seemed similar in type, but this one was slightly sweeter.
Both were, of course, delicious!

Rather acidic. A light bitterness at the end.
It is similar to Masumi among the sake brands I am familiar with.
It was delicious even when heated!

When I took it without any snacks, just 🍶, it just left me with a sour taste. The label also said it was for eating 😱.
I think the sourness goes up when it's heated up...

I bought this sake because the Nikkei Newspaper published a series of articles about Touji Noriguchi a while ago.
It is a delicious sake with a strong flavor.
It is even better when warmed to lukewarm. It is a delicious sake!

I bought them together to compare them with my last Akitsuho 657.
However, since it was a week apart, I couldn't make a solid comparison💦.
I felt that the ice storage made it less gassy and more flavorful than the original.

I developed a high fever on Saturday afternoon, 6/24, and tested positive for new type corona on Monday, 6/26💦.
After a week of fever followed by a raging sore throat, joint pain, coughing, and loss of sense of smell, I finally got over it💦.
So, here's my get well celebration (lol).
Oh no, it's a delicious, body-sickening experience!
Even more so since I had lost the energy to drink during the Corona.
Please take care everyone.

Good evening, takashi.
I see you were infected with corona 💧.
I'm sure the wind forest must have really sunk in since you are recovering from hell ✨.
Let's get our spirits up again with the sake life 😊.

Thank you very much!
I was also at a drinking party right before the corona infection, but fortunately I didn't infect anyone else, at least 💦.
I would also like to enjoy sake from here!

On the second day, when I drank it today, I felt a firm sweetness, followed by a bitter taste that spread throughout my mouth.

It is 🍶 from Honda Shoten, Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture.
I purchased it from a liquor store's hanpukai.
It is said to be the brewer's challenge sake, brewed with a new variety called "Shinryu Nishiki" which is a cross between Yamadanishiki and Shinryoku.
It is excellent as a food sake rather than served without an entrée.
The sake shop recommends drinking it well chilled, but it is also possible to warm it up.

It's been 3 days since I opened the bottle and I'm drinking it without any accompaniments, but I think it's easier to drink than on the first day😃.
I felt the sweetness at the beginning of drinking, but it was broken by the bitterness that counteracted the sweetness.
