Today, I’m enjoying a cozy drink alone again.
I went to a niche liquor store that I don’t usually visit.
I bought this sake because the label looked delicious.
Soumi
I am attracted to the sound of “Polished 39” and look forward to tasting it.
The lid has nothing written on it.

Taste Soumi
This has a strong flavor. Showa flavor.
It is not palatable for beginners.
When chilled or served at room temperature, it is extremely acidic and difficult to drink.
It is drinkable when served hot, but the flavor is very strong.
Today’s snack is curry
I tried pairing it with a rich curry.
Once you get used to it, it might be a pairing that goes well with rich foods such as curry.
What will tomorrow bring?
- A bar with a 2-hour all-you-can-drink deal for 490 yen. Damn it! I should’ve looked more closely! It’s not actually 490 yen—it’s a scam.
- I happened to stop by a bar for a drink, and the brewery owner was there. Daisekkei
- It’s a sake-only all-you-can-drink bar with a time limit, but this time I only had a little sake. Jimbocho, Tokyo
- Let’s pair it with sake and sushi from Toyama Prefecture. Toyama is a region known for its delicious sushi.
- Premium Kaiō Sushi, a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant located in Odaiba, a popular tourist spot in Tokyo, serves delicious sushi made with ingredients from Toyama Bay in Toyama Prefecture.
