街を包む空気が冷え、つい日本酒が恋しくなって仕事帰りに寄った駅前のスーパーマーケット。色々な日本酒のコーナーがあるが、日本酒の割り当ては広くない。その隅に見慣れた黒い菱型を見つけた。ああそう、これこれと手に取る。家族に日本酒が飲める者は他にいないため一升瓶では多く、お値打ち品の900mlをレジに通す。
On an autumn night, I ride my bicycle down a night road to drink sake.

うっすら黄色を帯びた液色。口にふくむと、サラッとしているはずなのにどこか蕩けるような、ふくよかな濃厚さが舌を包む。厚さのある味わい。華やかな風味は気道を肺に下りて、また昇って鼻に抜けていく。いわば豊潤。スイスイと抵抗無く進んで止まらない。やがて強く酔ってふらふら、しかし、翌朝にはスッキリと抜ける。
It doesn’t make you feel sick, which is one proof that this sake is of high quality.

The air surrounding the city was getting colder, and I was craving Japanese sake, so I stopped by the supermarket in front of the station on my way home from work. There are various sake corners, but the allocation of sake is not wide. I spotted a familiar black diamond shape in the corner. Oh yeah, I pick up this and that. No one else in my family can drink sake, so I only buy 1 sho bottles, so I pass the bargain 900ml bottle through the cash register.

Liquid color with a slight yellow tinge. When you put it in your mouth, it’s supposed to be light, but it has a rich, plump texture that wraps around your tongue. Thick taste. The bright flavor travels down the respiratory tract to the lungs, then up again and into the nose. Rich, so to speak. It moves smoothly and without resistance and doesn’t stop. Eventually, he gets very drunk and feels light-headed, but the next morning he feels refreshed.
