Actually, I stayed in Miyagi again yesterday.
I really wanted to visit Okawa Elementary School, which was severely damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake, as a sign of repose for the souls of the dead...
So, on the way back, I took a boat from Matsushima to Shiogama instead of a round trip.
Chilled Ichinokura is refreshing!
The dry sake goes well with the sweet noshii-squid!
Marubun Steamship has openable windows, so it was nice to enjoy the sea breeze.
The aroma is weak, but faintly green apple.
When served cold, the taste is mainly sour and bitter with a moderate sweetness
When lukewarm, the sweetness becomes a little stronger, the umami is more pronounced, and the acidity weakens.
Ichinokura sake received at the 10/1 Sake Day "Go Around" event.
It is a sweet and sour fruit-like sake with 8 degrees of alcohol. It was like drinking a slightly diluted plum wine!
Of course I like it, so I immediately bought a set to compare it with a liqueur mixed with plum and yuzu. The liqueur is sweeter, of course, lol.
At the supermarket, I was looking for a special on hiyaoroshi, and after much deliberation, I chose Ichinokura. It has a rounded and calm rice flavor, with a hint of acidity. The taste is softer than the usual Ichinokura.
