Tomekawa 3rd generation tasting party for guesses (6)
When I drank it at home in the past, it gave me the impression of rumney, but this time I thought it was more like melon or muscat 🍈.
It was great that I could drink freshly opened bottles since I was there from the start of the event!
I remember it was a bit exciting when I found out that a woman who attended the event at the same time as me was the same age as me and left-handed.
I was surprised to hear that she sometimes opens a bottle that day 😳.
Izakaya Monorail 2️⃣
This is a raw sake from Aki Tora that Kaorin liked the best😇.
Sake in Kochi is either dry with a lot of guts or sweet and umami with a CEL24, but this one was a very sweet and umami sake.
This was a delicious sake with a strong sweet-umami taste 😇.
Good evening, Yasube-san.
I'm sure it's great that you have this kind of event under your belt. ⤴️
I had a tasting of this one the other day, and I remember it was delicious ✨.
I think it's fun to have an event where you can drink a lot of different kinds of sake 😊.
Good evening, ma-ki- 😀
Actually, the monorail event is done every month and I've wanted to go many times so far, but I'm sorry I couldn't make it 😅.
Next month is supposed to be a train marrying Tottori sake and crab in the second half of January 😀.
Hi Yasbay 🐦.
I see you have a good selection of snacks 😳 and some performances to watch 😻 This is quite a nice event, even if just drinking on the monorail is fun 😻.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😀
I think it was a snack, or rather a bento packed with the flavors of Kochi Prefecture, which went well with the solid Kochi sake 😀.
I believe there is also a local sake train in Shiga on the Omi Railway ❓
Sounds like a fun event there too 😀.
Yes, there is! I haven't seen this year's information yet, but I think it starts in January every year 🤔I always say to my husband that we should go every year, but we keep putting it off 😅.
It is a dry sake with a fruity yet robust aftertaste. It is served cold, but it would also be delicious warmed up.
I've been enjoying it with oden, and it's very nice. It also goes well with negitoro (negi toro).
It doesn't seem to go well with light foods, but it goes well with strong flavorful foods.
It has a good balance of sourness and sweetness, and a fruity taste. It has a robust feel and is very drinkable. It goes perfectly with oden. It is very tasty. ★★☆☆☆☆
Next up was also an Aki Tiger, but Junmai Sake✨.
I wanted to drink this one hot rather than chilled 😁.
It's so delicious when it's heated up because it has a nice, mild rice flavor 😆.
Next up, Aki Tiger's cel24: ☝️
Compared to Kameizumi's cel24, the sweetness is more subdued ✨.
The aroma is gorgeous, like a flower ✨.
This is also perfect for those who are not used to sake 😊.
☀️
Sake rice is Tosa Rei🌾.
Maybe a rice we haven't had much of🌾🤔.
I was looking at the artistic 🎨 label and thinking... 😗...
Light sweetness and a little bitterness.
It has a freshness to it with a smooth, cool, watery throat 🤩.
Clear with no cloying taste, so although a little lacking on its own, I thought there was a lot to get into if it was a food sake 🧐.
The second drink at Yamanaka Sake Shop in Ekimarche Osaka was another sake from a new brewery.
Akitora Tosa Rei Jungin Shiboritate by Arimitsu Shuzojo.
This is also a new sake.
Let's have it right away.
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
In the mouth, it has a very crisp taste.
You can taste a hint of sweetness.
After that, there is a lingering taste of gentle bitterness, which makes it very easy to drink.
#Drinking at home
This sake is so mild and has a certain umami flavor that you would think it was an "akiagari" sake, but at the same time it has a spiciness that is typical of Kochi sake and is very drinkable from the start.
It is a very well-made food sake that is more aptly described as "umami spicy" than "mildly umami.
It is a very well-made food sake that goes well with everything from sashimi to simmered dishes and even yakiniku (barbecued meat).
Almost colorless and transparent. Fruity aroma reminiscent of muscat. The intensity of the aroma is medium. Fresh and light on the palate. Refreshing acidity with a slight effervescence. The finish is not harsh, but it is as if the grapes were eaten with their skins on. Short aftertaste. Sake that is both refreshing and fragrant.
