A group of friends and I had an explosive drinking contest at a Hiroshima teppanyaki restaurant!
My impression is impression because it is a little bit at a time.
Not so much aroma.
Watery texture?
Alcoholic feeling goes through the nose.
After that, the umami and body of the rice comes through.
A simple food sake.
Degree of liking ☆3/5
There is a lot number, indicating rarity.
It is a high spec sake.
It is a gift, so I did not choose it for my own taste.
Maybe the storage conditions were not so good,
I was a little disappointed that it had a slight twangy aroma.
HAKKO" is the representative brand of Morikawa Sake Brewery in Kure City. The design represents a "big white bird" soaring into the sky. ☺️
When poured into a sake cup, it has a beautiful amber color, a faintly fruity aroma, and a round, mango-like sweetness, followed by sourness and dryness.
It is best when paired with grilled eggplant or grilled saury, which are autumnal delicacies!
A classic junmai sake with the sweetness and umami of rice and koji that can be enjoyed straight out of the bottle. We drank it at room temperature, but it is likely to have a more expansive flavor when heated.
Although it was made in 2017, there was no twanginess at all, and the impression was that it had become more beautifully rounded. I am grateful that I was able to find it through the Corona disaster from the torrential rain in western Japan in 2018.
