I found it in the summer at an aeon near my parents' house and bought it.
It is easy to drink. It has a rather koji aroma.
When I paired it with yellowtail and sea bream sashimi, it was delicious with the fat of the yellowtail and the flavor of the sea bream.
I like ginjo-shu, but I think this kind of junmai-shu is also good because it has its own character.
I'm sorry, but I guess I'm not a fan of this sake... I can't say for sure since this is all a matter of taste, but it's like a heated sake... full of alcohol. I bought the label for this sake, so I will display it well.
We compared them with Jikin and Saku!
I love Jikin and Saku so much!
The richness and umami are definitely delicious 🍶.
The JYUI AKIAGARI was very dry and refreshing!
It was the first time for me to compare the two.
It's good to know the difference in taste 😳.
I went home and had another drink. I bought this bottle at a nearby supermarket, attracted by the fireworks shooting up all over the bottle. It was my first time to try this brand. It has a soft mouthfeel, but soon becomes crisp and dry.
Fukii Cherry Blossom Bottle Junmai Sake
Apparently it is only available from January to May.
A beautiful and cute cherry blossom bottle found at a nearby AEON.
The taste is light, dry, and refreshing! Is it a so-called "classic" type sake? I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner like myself...
But the bottle is cute!
*I drank it more than a month ago, so my memory is a bit fuzzy.
At any rate, it is the number one ranking of beautiful bottles so far!
There was a sticker on the lid with product info, but I threw it away. Now that I think about it, maybe they use the sticker to make people see the clean bottle.
There is only one bird on the bottle. Now that I think about it, the bird might have been the front.
