The second cup was a lion's dance drink. The third cup was Narimasa. This is a brand I have never seen before.
It has a slightly matured feel and has a good balance of umami, sweetness, and acidity.
The fact that there are so many 300 bottles of sake on the menu is a little tough for a lone drinker who wants to drink a variety of sake, but I will try harder.
freshly squeezed
Umami comes first and is washed down by acidity.
It is a dry sake that is good for a light mid-meal drink.
It has just the right amount of umami.
Serve with kabura-zushi and trout-zushi.
Reminder.
I had a lot of drinking parties this week, but I couldn't drink sake 😞.
Beer, shochu, awamori, highball, chamisulu, and my body was not in good shape lol.
On the last day of the weekday, I finally had a chance to drink sake.
The first drink was Narimasa, a sake from Toyama.
The gasiness and fruity taste was noticeable, and it was delicious, just like a new sake.
Narimasa Junmai Shiboritate
Alcohol content 15%.
Polishing ratio 60
100% Yuyamanishiki rice produced in Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture is used.
Toyama Eki-naka Sake BAR.
The activated nigori is delicious.
The taste is not inferior to any other sake in the country. Sparkling Junmai sake.
With high expectations, the bottle was opened while carefully releasing the increased pressure.
It was pleasantly bubbly and slightly effervescent. It was deliciously spicy.
We were allowed to compare drinks at the same restaurant!
This was my first time drinking Narimasa as well, and I like it a lot. It is spicy and refreshing! But it also has a bit of fruitiness.
The toji has been replaced by a new one, and it seems that he has made a refreshing one, whereas it used to have a lot of miscellaneous flavors. It was a real treat!
7/29 Toyama business trip ③.
Seimasa Junmai Yuyamanishiki
Sake Slow Food at Toyama Housen
100% Yuyamanishiki produced in Nanto City
Polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 15%.
Sake meter degree +3, acidity 1.4 (reference)
It is very clear, yet it expresses the umami of Omachi rice well.
It is slightly dry.
Anyway, it is easy to drink!
I love the legend of the brewery's brewing water.
The brewery uses "water from the tip of the spear," which came from a spring that was fed by the famous spearman Sasa Narimasa, who was troubled by the water and poked it with his spear.
Yum!
The accompaniment to this drink is Tempura of white shrimp! It was delicious with a little salt!
hard alcohol
Aroma with a habit, thick attack. Hard dry taste. It is easy to drink and has a lingering taste of rice.
It is named after the warlord Sasa Narimasa, so it has a hard, hard-edged taste. Accompanied by kombujime squid. Tasty Toyama!
I heard that it was named after the warlord Sasa Narimasa, the governor of Echugoku 🍶.
Unfortunately, I don't have my notes on this one either 😭.
I'll reflect on it and come back 😭🙇♂️
