Apple-like acidity, rich flavor, crisp and refreshing aftertaste, and a bit of sweetness that asserts itself as you continue drinking...
Bonito tataki, octopus sashimi
It has a strong impression of mild sweetness and umami. It has a mildly sweet and umami impression, with a raw feeling that fades away, leaving a weak sense of sharpness. It is best served warmed to eliminate the raw taste.
At standing drinking CHUIN on a previous day.
The last drink of the day.
(This is a staggered post.)
I had enjoyed Kenshin the first time I drank it at chuin-san.
I thought the label was quite different from the usual stoic kanji-only label, but it seems to be a collaboration with the manga "Izakaya Maruyo" (居酒屋丸よ) and limited to Maruess Sake Shop and Kanese Sake Shop 🍶.
The appearance is a pale yellow-green.
The aroma is mild and refreshing.
It has a gentle herbal feel and a sweetness in the aroma that is typical of sake.
In the mouth, it flows smoothly and refreshingly.
Discreet sweetness, a herbal feeling, and a cool, refreshing acidity escape.
It flows from the spread of refreshment, then swells and sharpens moderately.
The lingering aftertaste is moderately sweet and refreshing.
It was the kind of sake I would like to drink casually in everyday life.
It was a beautiful way to end the meal.
Thank you for the sake 🍶.
Good evening, Pon 😃.
With chuin, if it's small, I can drink it slowly because they leave me alone even if I'm taking notes while I'm thinking and drinking slowly with 40ml of one sake 😊🍶.
I'd like to learn more about this kind of casual drinking too: ☺️
Kenshin (Junmai Ginjo)
I met this bottle at a koji shop in Itoigawa on the way back from visiting Kasuga-yama Castle, the residence of Lord Kenshin, which I had longed to visit.
The taste is dignified and beautiful. Slightly sweet and full, yet with an aftertaste that quickly disappears. I savored it carefully.
