Today we will be having a makiko purchased at FURUMAIYA at Kawasaki Station. The name is difficult to pronounce 💦 It is from the Takachiyo Sake Brewery, and I was torn between the Takachiyo label and this one, which has a lower alcohol content.
This is the first time I have had it. The aroma is a gorgeous ginjo aroma. On the palate, it has a refreshing acidity and umami flavor that disappears. It is easy to pair as a food sake 🍶 I have paired it with Japanese dishes such as simmered burdock root and carrot, stewed eggplant and zucchini, etc. and it is delicious. It is delicious. The deliciousness of the rice is very strong.
I would like to pair it with grilled fish. Delicious✨

It's Children's Day, so we drank it as adults.
I thought the packaging looked like Takachiyo, but it was a different brand from Takachiyo Brewery 🤭.
I didn't study enough😅.
I thought this one would be light because it's 14% alu, but it seems a little deeper than Takachiyo's 16% alu 🙄.
It has a similar fruity taste, but it's more of a "light and delicious" 🤔.
It's also refreshing and seems to be more widely accepted than Takachiyo which has a stronger flavor ☝.

The barcode is in the shape of sake, which is cute.
Takachiyo Drink Comparison
From the aroma, the umami of the rice can be felt.
The mouthfeel is also full of umami, but the lingering acidity and gaseous sensation comes later and makes you feel as if you have drunk water at the end.
It is a beautiful sake with a delicious umami taste, but it almost gives the illusion of being a fruity sake. It is a beautiful sake that almost gives the illusion of being fruity.
Is this a spring sake? I feel like I've been drinking more spring sake if it has a pinkish label and looks like that, but I'm drinking it during the cherry blossom season, so it must be spring sake. It seems to be a local brand originally made by Takachiyo Shuzo.
At 13 degrees, it's easy to drink, but lightness is probably not its strong point.
It has a fruity aroma, but the sweetness is restrained and the lightness remains, which is typical of Takachiyo and Niigata. It is delicious.
The rice is Takananishiki and Gohyakumangoku, another Niigata iron plate.
