Limited edition sake, not available on the general market

Today, I’m drinking sake by myself. I went to my classmate’s sushi bar and told him that I am currently helping out in the sake business. To my surprise, he gave me a bottle of his sushi bar’s original sake (label only). It was a limited edition sake because it is not mass-produced.

Since it was the sushi bar’s sake of choice, it must have tasted great with sushi. I headed home thinking, “What the heck….

Mannen Yuki Honjyoshu

“Sushisaku Sushi Bar”, I introduced to you before.

The sake is also from Sushisaku,
The sake is also made by Sushisaku, and is called “Arahashiri,” which means seasonal. You don’t see transparent small bottles of this sake very often. It is originally produced by Morita Brewery in Okayama Prefecture.

The official name is Mannen Yuki.

It is covered with a traditional cloth. In the old days, it was made in a jar.

The inside of the bottle has been opened with a modern cap to ensure sanitation.

Mannen Yuki Taste evaluation

The aroma is different from the trendy fruity, and it is not a Showa-era sake. It has a slightly sweet aroma. A gulp.

Is it light and dry? It has a slightly complex flavor, but it has no cloying taste and is easy to finish. It is a good sake to be heated, so I heated it up.

Gulp it down again!

Surprisingly, the aroma was just right when heated, and it was very easy to drink. It was also slightly sweet, not too sweet, but just the right amount. After drinking this hot sake, you may not be able to drink any other hot sake for a while. It does not have much personality, but it is a sake that you can drink with gusto. It is a mellow sake that can be enjoyed with food.

Today’s snack

Today’s snack is toriten (chicken tempura). I made a mistake, I should have served it with salt. It was a perfect match. It was another good day.
