Isojiman and Bijofu

Drinks at Tamanegiya in Tokyo.

Eikun Junmai Daiginjo Tobingakoi (英君  純米大吟醸  斗ビン囲い) - seimaibuai of 40%. A little on the dry side. Nose was fragrant and almost a little floral.

Bijofu Junmai Daiginjo Yumebakari (美丈夫 純米大吟醸 夢許), H19BY - seimaibuai of 30%. Very smooth on the palate, with a little more depth. Really smooth some 2 hours after opening.

Bijofu Junmai Daiginjo Yumebakari (美丈夫 純米大吟醸 夢許), 2022, from isshobin - seimaibuai of 30%. Almost a little fizzy on the palate. Sweet upfront but with a little touch of bitterness at the end.

Isojiman Daiginjo 28 Nobilemente (磯自慢 大吟醸 ノビルメンテ 28), 2019 - seimaibuai of 28%. Nose of banana and fermented rice lees. Pretty sweet on the palate. Soooo fragrant after 1½ hours, with a little hint of Anjou pear.

Isojiman Junmai Daiginjo Nakatori 35 Adagio (磯自慢 純米大吟醸 中取り 35 アダージョ), 2018 - seimaibuai of 35%. More rounded on the palate and definitely more complex.

Isojiman Junmai Daiginjo Nakatori 35 Adagio (磯自慢 純米大吟醸 中取り 35 アダージョ), 2019 - seimaibuai of 35%. Nose also showing banana notes, but this was a little more developed on the palate.

Isojiman Junmai Daiginjo Nakatori 35 Adagio (磯自慢 純米大吟醸 中取り 35 アダージョ), 2020 - seimaibuai of 35%. Nose was kinda open with some banana notes.

Saika Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki (雑賀 純米大吟醸 山田錦) - seimaibuai of 45%/50%. Some banana on the nose. Reasonably good.

Saika Magoichi Daiginjo (雜賀孫市 大吟醸) - seimaibuai of 40%. More complex, more fruity, and really smooth.

Bijofu Yuzu Liqueur (美丈夫ゆずリキュール) - just gotta have this on crushed ice when I'm here. Definitely the best was to finish off a great evening. Soooo fruity and refreshing.
