Vinny Brooklyn
Perhaps the first shiboritate this season. Already hiyaroshi— which was served earlier tonight is past?! Still the label makes this something you want to drink. Sorry I only had one ichigo.
Vinny Brooklyn
Second of the night. While also a hiyaroshi, this has some more substance.
Vinny Brooklyn
While still not a full time Kyoto resident need to eat at some old standbys. That means either here or O-Sen. This trip here. And trust them on the Yagenbori in-house brand.

Finally a Kyoto sake after all from Shiga at 酒菜 石慶 (Sekkei) in Kyoto. Much drier and a nice way to end dinner
Vinny Brooklyn
Last Shiga at 酒菜 石慶 (Sekkei), and a familiar one. Dry, lots of nuance. Easy to drink.
Vinny Brooklyn
Actually first of the night at 酒菜 石慶 (Sekkei) in Kyoto. Master’s recommendation. Traditional, drier than expected. Good accompaniment to the sashimi.
Vinny Brooklyn
At 酒菜 石慶 (Sekkei) in Kyoto. But having mostly Shiga tonight. This is flavorful with a long aftertaste.
Vinny Brooklyn
More fruity & spritz than I expected but still wow!
Aizu-grown Mizuho Gold Rice polishing ratio 65% & 77%. Really good.

Not sure what all this means.

Still agree with the Special name in English. Also Kosher for some reason.

Love the back label “This sake is filled with that desire. Rice painstakingly grown by farmers is polished to 45%, and the sake is carefully pressed in an old-fashioned vat before being bottled using spring water from the brewery (Biwanuma Cold Spring).” As much as I like this, can’t imagine living in Akita, too cold.
Purchased at the antenna shop in Wing at Shinagawa.
Vinny Brooklyn
Nose is reminiscent of wine. Again different from others tonight given water and geography. Need to have more Saga brews to have a better opinion. But promising.
Vinny Brooklyn
Quite different than the prior hiyaroshi. A little more depth , less sweetness. More classic in approach.
Vinny Brooklyn
Surprised this was hiyaroshi style. More sweet than expected. Nice with food.
Vinny Brooklyn
Been a while since at a sushiya. Had some of my wife’s atsukan. Perfect for what it is.
Vinny Brooklyn
Purchased at Akita antenna shop near Shinagawa Station. Textbook example of hiyaroshi and well balanced. Nicely done
Vinny Brooklyn
Closing with a classic Fukushima. They know what they are doing in Tohoku.
Amabuki鬼滅の辛口 Demon Buster Sake UNLIMITED DRY 無限辛口
Vinny Brooklyn
From the label, “Kiyo is a religious ceremony in Kyushu to exterminate demons. This is an extremely spicy drink that will push the limits and even make demons run away.”
I agree. Had at room temperature. Dry is not the word.

So fresh so good.

Not feeling to celebratory after WS game 7 (but all props to Yamamoto) but this was nice and strong.
