Second of second three tasting flight. Dry but not as dry as the prior Nagano. Quite elegant and easy to drink. No good photos on this set unfortunately.
First of the first 3 tasting flight. Even though some age, still had freshness of a Nama Genshu Muroka. Rare to have a Shimane nihonshu but this quite enjoyable. As noted in my last post address of sushiya is wrong; it’s in Shirokanedai 6-chome now.
Doing this backwards this is the last sake of the night but first full ichigo. Hadn’t had much experience with nihonshu from Mie but this was very pleasant. Subtle and refined. Also the sushiya is now in Shirokane 6-chome area. Nice master & staff.
Second of the 2-pack from Akita Antenna shop. Also JG but different rice makeup: 60% Yamadanishiki & 40% Tamae. Also different label color but otherwise the same.
Second of the evening. It being a Friday in Lent a fish and vegetable dinner; sake is rice (mostly) so I’m onsides with the Roman Church. This one had one pasteurization and this some freshness.
One of a pair purchased at the Akita antenna shop in the Shinagawa Prince Keikyu complex. 星あかり」100%.
Snow (& thunder) this morning. Ohtani home run at night. What a time to be alive!
