A cup of sake! I drank it with the common image of a cup of sake, but it was really good. Sweetness, bitterness, sourness, and no unpleasant parts.
If you look closely, you'll see that it's a special junmai.
It's been a while since I've had a cup of sake that I really liked.
This sake has a soft acidity in both aroma and taste. For a Junmai Daiginjo, it is less flamboyant and doesn't leave as much of an aftertaste or aroma. It has a sweetness, but it is not a fruit sweetness, but a rice sweetness. It's a very mellow junmai-shu.
But because of its modest flavor and aroma, it does not interfere with meals and is easy to pair with.
I paired it with scallop sashimi, and it was a perfect match in my mouth.
Still, it's a little funny to read "Kurashiki" as "Kurashikku".
It is said that the sake was made by listening to Mozart. It is not that gorgeous for a Junmai Daiginjo, and the richness and acidity are noticeable. I think the sourness is particularly distinctive. The sweetness is quite moderate and the sharpness is strong. It's a sake with an unusual balance. Because of its sharpness, it goes well with scallop sashimi and negitoro rolls.
A gifted sake from Fukushima.
We recommend drinking it cold or at room temperature. It is crisp and clear when served cold, and a little sweet when served at room temperature.
This series of sake is said to have been fermented with Mozart music. It is written as "Kurashikku" and read as "Kurashikku".
The nose is faintly honeyed from a hint of sweetness that is not fruity.
The mouthfeel is slightly lightly sweet, the sweetness quickly recedes to reveal a discreet flavor. The aftertaste is slightly dry; it's made in October 2020, but somehow it's also somewhat aged. Yes, it's delicious.
But to be honest, the drink doesn't sound very Mozart-like to me. I'm a horn blower in the classical field, so that's what I'm concerned about.
Mozart is more transparent and pure and sparkling. If I were to compare this drink to a composer, I'd say Borodin. It has a sweet melody and a nostalgic sense of earthy notes.
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, I'd say Mr. Nishi from "Earshot". He is Seiji's grandfather. Particularly in the scene "Shizuku-san showed me the rough stone she had just quarried. He has the gentleness to warmly embrace his immaturity.
Satisfaction: ★★★★ .
I have a blog. You can visit my blog from the link in the profile section if you like.
I bought this bottle at a brewery when I went on a trip to Fukushima last year. It was apparently aged after listening to Mozart. The effect of great music? The mouthfeel is mild and round, and the quality of the drink is clean and smooth as it passes down the back of the throat without dragging. A faint hint of sweet yeast. A bottle that brought back wonderful memories!
