We extended our last order by 30 minutes and closed with a bottle of Hokkaido's Ginpu Kunimare. As is typical of northern sake, it is dry and crisp, but has a strong, thick, umami flavor. It really soaks in.

Katanozakura Special Junmai Omachi from Katano City, Osaka, which surprisingly I hadn't had yet and was out of my mind. Ah, it's Omachi, with such a rich flavor. The umami is very clear and it is Omachi.

Oita Chiebijin Junmai Sake. Surprisingly, it has not been recorded yet. I thought I drank it often. It has a slight bitterness with a soft fruity sweetness. It's good, isn't it? This sake made me think that Kyushu's sake is good, too.

Kagoshima's Tenpyo Junmai Ginjo. I think this brewery is the only one brewing sake in Kagoshima. It has a refreshing and cool aroma like Junmai Ginjo, and the sweetness from the back is a good taste. It is really delicious.

Today we went to Fujiki Shoten Shinjuku So-honten to fill in the area where Sakegawa-san has not been drinking. I thought, "Well, they have Tenpiki, Reimei, and Rokujyosu here," but they ran out of Reimei. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I decided to start from the south, so I had a bottle of Junmaiyasu Junmaiyoshu Yamadanishiki from Nagasaki. It has a clean taste and a refreshing feeling. I was surprised to find that most of the sake from the south have a strong taste. It may be that Reimei is just out of the woods.

Bishonen Junmai Sake Seiya. This sake has a clear, yet distinctly sake-like flavor. Bishonen is a good Kyushu sake, but this is quite enjoyable.

Tsukiyama Hiyoshi Oroshi Junmai. Among the many brands of sake, this sake ranks high in my favorite brands. It is fruity, sweet and sour even though it is hiyaoroshi. It has a rounded flavor due to its maturity. Ah, it is delicious.

Mansaku no Hana Umakara Mansaku Hi Hiyoshi Oroshi. This is another seasonal autumn sake. I really can't get enough of mansaku no hana. It is delicious. The quiet umami spreads out with a slight roughness. It is the first sake that is fun to drink.

Today we came to Fujiki Shoten in Shinjuku for the first time in a while. As a matter of course, we started with the premium all-you-can-drink sake.
The first one was Amabuki Junmai, Junmai in love with autumn. It has a pumpkin label for Halloween, and of course, it is autumn-aged. It has a nice umami, acidity, and a hint of bitterness that spreads slowly.

The last order came and so did the last sake. Kaisen Special Junmai from Fussa, Tokyo. It is a good sake to drink slowly, with a rich flavor, but not too strong.
The fact that they chose Kaisen instead of Sawanoi shows that they know what they're doing.

Fujiki Shoten, if you have sake from all 47 prefectures, you might be wondering what Niigata Prefecture's Poshake is, but the one on the permanent menu is Hokusetsu Junmai Ginjo. They know what they are doing, don't they? It is a Niigata Prefecture sake from a brewery located on Sadogashima Island, and while it is refreshing, it has a slightly salty and clear taste. The alcohol taste also comes slowly. It is a good sake.

It has been about an hour since I started drinking. Next, a change of direction: Hirotogawa Special Junmai from Fukushima Prefecture. It has a strong umami flavor and is thick. The full-bodiedness of this sake is indeed a classic sake. However, it is light and easy to drink.

The second cup was Eikoufuji Kazehada Dry Junmai Sake. Eiko Fuji is known for its aromatic, refreshingly sweet and delicious sake, but this sake was even more refreshing. The spiciness comes to the fore rather than the umami and sweetness, and the sharpness is very good. It has a refreshing coolness that is just right for summer drinking.

Today we are having dinner at Fujiki Shoten in Shinjuku Nishiguchi.
I was looking in the fridge to see what to have for my first drink, and I found a bottle of Koryu Shu Unfiltered. I can't believe this guy is here, it's not an all-you-can-drink sake. It has a penetrating flavor, a light taste, and a slight astringency coming from the back. It is a rich sake.
And as usual, the kanji characters don't show up in the conversion.
