In search of cranes] We had a series of crane sake by chance, Manazuru and Mikotsuru, and here we have cranes again. Last year, I visited the brewery and found one of my favorite brands, Kurikomayama. Chida Shuzo's former brand name was Okutsuru. A remnant of the name can be seen on the label.
This hiyaoroshi is sweet and light, perhaps because it is made from Sasanishiki. It is hard to believe that it is 17%. It goes in easily. It's good, it's good, it's good. Tsuru-oi is now closed for a while. Next, the turtle?
Good morning, WOM 😃Oh, you visited Senda Sake Brewery ✨I'm not exaggerating when I say it's my hometown, the northern tip of Miyagi 😁Welcome to the northern town of Miyagi 👏Kurikoyama, it has a proper Miyagi sake feel and is delicious 😋.
Thanks, Wakata. I have relatives in Kurikoma and it is a familiar place, though I rarely go there. Sake is Fukushima and Akita. Imoni may be hidden behind Yamagata, but Miyagi is good!
The moderate sweetness of the rice makes it ideal as a mealtime sake.
The special junmai was a little more robust and strong in flavor, while the junmai ginjo was more gorgeous and beautiful.
Aroma: Rumney-like. It is mild.
The taste is fresh and refreshing, with a white peach-like flavor.
It has a well-balanced flavor with no cloying taste.
It is a refined sake.
It would go well with kombujime (kelp-jamame) of white fish or sashimi of shellfish.
4/5 stars for my favorite.
Pear, green apple and fresh aroma.
When you drink it, it is slightly green apple-like.
The clear sweetness is followed by a square rice flavor.
Bitter taste from pungent alcohol.
It has a very clear mouthfeel, perhaps due to its unpasteurized, medium-fermented origin,
The taste is thin but has a core.
It is cut off immediately.
The sweetness is enhanced by the salty taste of the sauce.
Costa
Taste 4/5
Despite its appearance,
It is not harsh and spicy, but rather a deliciously smooth sake.
The 17% alcohol content is not as strong as the sake. (Dangerous: ⚠️
