Drinking with members of the Kansai Sake-no-wa on a business trip to Osaka in "Unagidani" (7)
We found a heated sake corner next to the cellar, and while looking around to see what kind of sake they had, a bottle with a skull symbol on it, reminiscent of Captain Harlock, caught our eye and we decided to have a drink here.
FRAME OF SKULL Junmai Ginjo
The aroma of alcohol rises up, the mouthful of umami and a hint of sweetness, and the nose is clean and crisp, with a bitter taste and a slightly hot sweet aftertaste in the throat.
This one had a lot of sake, so we shared it with everyone 😋.
The restaurant was almost full despite it being a weekday, and next to us was a group of four foreigners enjoying sake, perhaps due to inbound demand ✨.
We welcomed Jive-san to Osaka for a petit off-line party with Umaisan, Maru-san and myself.
Part 5: Heated sake for the extravaganza: ☠️🔥🍶
We shared the heated sake that Jive-san requested 🍶.
This sake is from Ryoseki Sake Brewery in Akita, which brews Hana Yuu, Suitama, Yukigetsukana, Ryoseki, and others.
It is a Flame of Skull exclusively for heated sake. ☠️🔥
By the way, the blue bottle is junmai ginjo and the red bottle is special junmai, so this is the junmai ginjo.
It came out in a tin chirori, but I forgot to take a picture of that one😅.
The aroma is rich like freshly cooked rice mixed with a hint of fragrance 🌾.
I can feel a very faint remnant of a beautiful ginjo-like aroma at the back of it.
The taste is very smooth, with a sense of sweetness and acidity that flows in a calm and well-balanced manner.
It is said to be aged at low temperatures for heating before shipping, so there are no sharp edges even when heated, and it has a nice sense of calmness and cohesiveness.
The party, which had been enjoyable as we sipped sake and talked slowly, was almost over.
The party was almost over, and we were ready for the last sake.
Posting No. 415.
It has acidity. It has sweetness but also has umami, and it is a sake that has both sweetness and umami. The umami flavor remains in the aftertaste.
Pairing with Ate
Grilled pork chikotsu (pork bone marrow)
Personal preference★★★★☆
It has a soft fruity taste with a sake degree of -2.8 degrees, and a pleasant sweetness that is not too persistent. Full of umami and clear on the tongue.
Drunk notes. Not to be guessed.
Went to a yakitori restaurant with my senpai. I've been drinking too much sweet sake lately, so we decided to go for dry and dry sake.
Sweet aroma. When you drink it, it has a ginjo flavor as the aroma suggests, but it quickly becomes sharp, dry, and has a good bitterness. It is dry and has a moderate bitterness.
The rice and milling ratio are exactly the same as in the previous Dry Evolution, but this one has a light and delicious taste!
I wonder if the difference in brewing methods and yeast can change the taste so much.
Unlike Hana Yuu, the Rz series has an overall light taste.
