Hope you had a chance to taste some new muroka from this year. More on new sake… soon!

@Joel

Et-chan is a huge fan of Tamagawa and I am too. I’ve converted a few fans at work–not a hard thing to do really–just give them a taste and send them the URL for the website.

I wish Inaseya was just around the corner from us, but I guess I’ll have to get back down to Kyoto sometime soon.

Enjoy the side-by-side comparison. I’d love to hear what you find out.

Am really looking forward to trying this sake! Thanks for the write up and for pointing out Inaseya to us…pretty convenient as we’re near the subway line. It would be great to try last year’s daigin and this month’s release, side by side, so we’ll try to time it that way. It’s great to see someone pushing the envelope with sake like this. Cheers – Joel

Hi Philip,

T-shirts. Cool! I know I’ve been a pest about them, but I’ll be ordering one as soon as they are ready. Or, if I’m lucky, we’ll make another visit sometime soon.

Say “Hi” to the koji for us.

Hi Philip,
Great to hear from you! How’s the koji this morning? So, that was from last year’s Daigin Muroka Nama Genshu? That was so nice. I really enjoyed chatting with Keizo-san at Inaseya. I’ll let Ted know about Tamagawa T-Shirts. He must be excited! Ganbatte kudasai! I look forward to sipping Tamagawa again very soon!

Hi, Etsuko.

I just looked at your website to kill a few minutes before it’s time to go and look at the koji.

I was very surprised to see Tamagawa at the top! Thanks for
the write-up.

BTW, the sake you had was last year’s. The first batch of daigin won’t be pressed until later
this month. Takada san at Inaseya
(like a lot of our customers) know that Tamagawa gets better, the longer you hold onto it. When he
buys our yamahai muroka, Takada san
keeps it in the hot part of the kitchen so it will get older quickly!

Are you coming this way this winter?

Off to work now.

Philip

P.S. Tell Ted we will have Tamagawa
T-shirts soon
