Vinny Brooklyn
According to website made with this year's new rice, "Akita Sake Komachi.” Seasonal and limited quantity product. 中辛口
Better than expected actually.

Cold outside but warm enough inside for cold o-sake. Love the freshness in this one.

From the label—One of a series of sakes for comparing different tastings, brewed under the same conditions except for taste (yeast and rice polishing ratio. As said in the name uses Momota rice polished to 70%. Momota is a new sake rice variety developed by Akita Prefecture, that began full-scale distribution in 2021.
Momota has won numerous excellent results at the Akita Prefecture Sake Competition.
For all that pretty good but a sharp taste & not much complexity.
Vinny Brooklyn
Doesn’t get much better than this.

Vinny Brooklyn
Back label says, “Overflowing with flavor and a sharp aftertaste. This is a limited edition product made to order by Shinanoya, containing rare sake.”
Fairly high alcohol at 15.5%. Dry and smooth.

Not fair having Akita style food with Yamagata beverage, but it worked out well. Nihonshu brought to Tokyo from Kamakura as we didn’t have over o-Shogatsu. Couldn’t see on Kura website but this was very good.

As is done each year, small cup at Hongaku-ji in Kamakura on NYD. Large cedar cask adds flavor, even if drunk out of a paper cup.

Good morning and Happy New Year! Small ichigo to have with breakfast to welcome the Year of the Snake.

At home in Yuigahama. Just before New Year’s Eve soba (from Sarashina in Azabu Juban) and Kohaku. Happiness. And Happy New Year to everyone!

You are really enjoying Japanese culture! I also love this sake. Happy new year to you, too!

At our Yuigahama apartment & purchased this today with sushi delivered by Kohana Sushiya. It doesn’t get better than this. So good.
Vinny Brooklyn
Last of three one cups from the nearest 7-Eleven. This is the closest to the one cup ideal I think. Feel guilty drinking out of a glass.
Vinny Brooklyn
Second one cup. Also delightful. I feel like I should be having this outside or on public transport for more enjoyable satisfaction, and not at home. But still very good at home!
Vinny Brooklyn
Despite it being St Stephen’s Day, hadn’t had nihonryori at home in a while. So darling wife made some home cooking and since we are leaving for the New Year period, found some one cup packages at the nearest 7-Eleven. Umai!!! As they say on the tv shows.
Vinny Brooklyn
Made from Akita Sake Komachi rice — and PR release of only 4 days ago says — it is “entirely pressed in a tank.” Very lively, almost too genki for a Friday night. But nice way to end the week with only 11 more days to go this year.
Vinny Brooklyn
Purchased at Kyoto-eki. Have to say, the brief taste sip at the souvenir store front was better than expected. This bottle at home was meh.
Vinny Brooklyn
Room (outdoor?) temperature on Dec 14, anniversary of Ako Incident. Shouldn’t be drinking before lunch but the day demands it. Also surprisingly cheaper than beer!
Vinny Brooklyn
Finished with Kyoto and on to Gunma.

Great label. Better sake
