杉玉 Sugidama: Sake blog

Summer is a perfect time to try sake. You can enjoy a sparkling sake while chilling out in the shade, a robust junmai sake with BBQ or refined ginjo sake at a dinner party. Just look out for opportunities!

Hyakujuro Junmai Daiginjo is a sweeter sake with fruity aroma and some dried fruit and honey in the taste. It's full of umami and goes very well with hearty food like a miso marinated salmon we had with it last time.

Jin Kichi is an izakaya style restaurant at the heart of Hampstead. It's got an excellent food, a decent choice of sake and great atmosphere. Here is my little review of the place.
