Today, too, I’m enjoying sake by myself. I wandered around the liquor store, but it seems that the summer sake season has come to an end, and sake with a high distribution volume is conspicuous. Is this the off-season for fall? I picked up some sake that I thought looked tasty with a focus on dry sake, and looked at them. Meikyoshisui” is a four-character idiomatic expression.

Meikyoshisui Kimoto Junmai Ginjyo

It means.

A mirror without cloud and still water. The state of mind that is clear and quiet, without any kind of rancor.
From the Shogakukan Digital Dictionary)

I bought this sake because my mind is always stagnant, so I thought it might be what I need. I bought it by name.

The elaborate “Kimoto-zukuri” (sake brewer’s yeast )

As indicated on the label, it seems to be easy to drink from cold to lukewarm.

I did a little research on the brewery. Osawa Shuzo
The main brands are Meikyosisui and Seiki. It is more impressive that it is a small company with only 5 employees.

The family crest. Beautiful blue.

Old cap. Don’t cut your hand.

Open the bottle.
Weak Ginjo aroma. A little bit of Showa-era aroma.

Gulp it down!

Comment A:
It is soft against the lips, but when you put it in your mouth, it is not sticky and has a dry taste with a hint of bitterness. There is a faint scent of cemedine in the aftertaste.

Taste Evaluation

It is a mellow sake. The first sip tastes unfamiliar and complex. It tastes like old Showa-era sake. The second sip is a good one, and you can get used to it. For those who like dry sake, it tastes good. It has a complex taste when you finish it. It seems to go well with simmered dishes and strong flavors. It seems to be best with the taste of an old Showa-era country woman.

Today’s snack: sticky-salad

Recently, I have been addicted to the sticky packets of side dishes (okra, yam, and wakame salad), and adding natto to them makes a great dish. They say it is very good for cleaning the intestines.
It was another good day.

It was a good day, too!
