We had this at a seminar on heating fruity sake.
Cold Sake
Pineapple aroma
Sweet and juicy with a clean finish
No schwarziness, just the way I like it.
Warmed sake: put it on at about 60℃ and put it in your mouth when the temperature drops by 5-10℃.
The aroma becomes more intense and peculiar.
The umami taste becomes stronger.
Slightly chestnut-like aftertaste.
I like it better when the temperature is raised up to 60℃ with a little bit of addition, because it has more sweetness and no peculiarity of aroma.
Alcohol 15
Polishing ratio 50%.
Rice / Gin-no-Yume or Yamadanishiki (100% domestic rice)
Sake meter degree -4
Acidity 1.4
Amino acidity 1.0
At the corner
Mild, dry, and clearer than Kameizumi's sweet and sour taste.
Purchases from Kochi trip: ✈️
I bought this sake as soon as I saw it with CEL24.
It has a gorgeous apple-like aroma and is fruity,
It has a gorgeous apple-like aroma and is fruity, but a bit crisp and tasty.
It's great in a wine glass 🫶.
Next, we have Katsuragi😄.
It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma ✨.
It has a strong bitter and sour taste and is refreshing 😊.
First Kaygetsu in a long time... still delicious 😁.
That's all for this time 😄
The 25th Hankyu Brewery Festival (5)
The young wife wanted something clean and refreshing, so we continued with Tosa Sake. As the young wives tasted more and more sake, it was a good opportunity to try some sake that we normally don't try😅.
Kaygetsu booth.
Kaygetsu Super Dry Special Junmai Shu 60 Nama Nama Shu.
I had the first sip. It's refreshing, and the freshness of the sake makes it not feel so spicy. It has a mild umami flavor and a light aftertaste.
◉Keigetsu Aikawa Gyu Yamahai Junmai Shu 58 Unfiltered Nama-shu
17% alc. This one is also fresh, with a nutty mid-palate. It also tastes more pale.
I think the brewer said that Kaygetsu is the only Yamahai sake in Kochi.
Kuraketsu CEL 24 Junmai Daiginjo 50
Tasted on the brewer's recommendation. It is a freshly squeezed new sake. Fresh, sweet and refreshing.
My young wife was raving about the super dry taste and how delicious it was, so I asked her which was the best one she had tasted today. I asked her which one was the best one she had today.
Tastes are really difficult.
Goes well with sashimi ~ !!!!
It's been a long time since I drank a good amount of sake! It's so good!
The aroma and the rest of the taste has a strong graininess that is typical of Yamahai.
But there is not much acidity.
