I bought it when I went to Nagano on a motorcycle with my friend Ture.
It has a dry mouthfeel, but somewhat thick like a sweet wine.
Interesting.
More than I like.
It is said to be a limited edition sake for the year-end and New Year's holidays, blended with several original sake. It has a complex flavor, but is also "safe(?)". It has a complex taste, but is "safe" (?).
Masumi's Ara Shibori, purchased at Tsuruya.
My wife's sister and her husband came from Setagaya and stayed over for dinner and drinks.
We started with beer, then moved on to whiskey, shochu, and sake.
The sake was so-so, fruity, moderately sweet, slightly acidic, astringent, and bitter.
It was delicious.
It's New Year's, so let's open the sake I bought!
Masumi Shiboritate Nama!
It's easy to drink. It's not fruity, is it? Anyway, it has a lot of flavor, but the ending is smooth. ...... It's a little dry, so it has sweetness, but it ends up refreshing. Delicious. Easy to drink.
We drank Masumi Sanka Junmai Daiginjo to go with our Hakata Zoni (Hakata Zoni with many ingredients: bonito flakes, yellowtail, chicken, bamboo shoots, kamaboko, shiitake mushroom, carrot, baked tofu, round rice cake, sago soup).
It was refreshing and clean and the best friend 🌟🌟⭐️🌟🤩.
Winter Nigorinpic 12
I was wondering what to choose for the white representative against the red Chibijin 🤣.
Since we are in the middle of Nigorinpic, of course I wanted to choose a nigori type for both red and white, but somehow I thought a white nigori would have a very different taste from beer 😅.
I wanted a cloudy, low-alcoholic, refreshing sake that would also be suitable for beer lovers... 😅.
So I chose this Masumi Sparkling Sake Orikarami.
The ori is just a little bit of ori, so it looked slightly whitish 😀.
The taste was just as refreshing as I imagined it would be, and even my dad, who is not used to sake, said it was delicious, so I'm glad he enjoyed it 😀.
The aperitif for the New Year's Day celebration sake is "Masumi Yuzusake".
I thought I would start with a light liqueur ...... for the first toast of the morning with the New Year's Day dishes on the table, but as expected from Masumi, it is very strong 😆.
It is a solid, thick yuzu juice that is unquestionably delicious. ‼️ It is an aperitif that can be enjoyed by men and women of all ages.
Thank you for the treat 😋 from the first of the New Year.
