Keeping in the New Year's mood, we had to go for the second bottle as well: ✌️
This is a souvenir from my business trip to Fukuoka at the end of October last year 🍶.
I was wondering if there was a store in the station where they serve Kaku-uchi (corner bar), and my feet went inside on their own 😂.
I was so glad to be there, so I asked the staff to guide me through the list of locally brewed sake for heating up and decided on the matured version, which they said could be enjoyed in a wide range of temperatures from human skin to full-bodied.
...This is pretty good ☺️
It's a mellow umakuchi type sake, but it starts off smooth, and the rich, full flavor develops later. It has a soft taste, though it feels fluffier when it's popped open.
It can be served with food, or it can be served with cheese and nori seaweed.
This time, we enjoyed it with crab shabu, a luxurious Japanese New Year's dish.
Oh, I wish New Year's Day would come at least twice a year!
Happy New Year, Mr. Burpee 🌅.
I'm more glued to the crab 🦀 than the sake 😳I haven't had Dokurakura yet but it's one I want to drink this year 😋 Crab shabu with heated sake 🍶 is irresistible 🤤.
No, no, no! I want 4 a year 😆.
Jay & Nobby, thank you for a great year 🤲.
I was so excited to receive the magnificent 🦀 even though it was purchased online! I couldn't resist a glass of sake ☺️🍶 to finish it off🤤 lol!
Dokurakura was great, you should definitely give it a try 😊.
Finally got to buy my end of the year drinks ✨
This one seems to be popular because of its strong fizzy taste 🍶.
I bought it by the bottle 😅.
Delicious 😋.
Buy at liquor store
Chilled
Subdued aroma
Classic light type, mellow but not too heavy.
Good as a food sake
Warmed to lukewarm, it has a warming taste.
A slight astringency may increase.
Probably one of my favorite hiyaoroshi of the season!
起 The smell of rice, a little bit of aging
Sei: Tastes like nothing but corona.
Tense, almost tasteless.
Yui: No sharpness, a little acidity, some ripeness, and a slight taste of it.
Perfect calm, too much water, this is more devil than Sto. Zero, it doesn't taste like 14 degrees.
Salmon, tempura, oil, but it would go well with non-junk food.
It's not that it's peculiar to drink on its own, but it's just right when it's heated up,
I think it is a sake that is supposed to be heated up.
It is a sake that is supposed to be warmed up.
It's a sake that's supposed to be drunk smoothly, so it doesn't go well with snacks that are too strong.
I think it's best served warmed with a normal meal.
★★★★
There is not much aroma. The sweetness of the rice hits you hard. It has a matured feel, but not too much peculiarity, and is full of flavor. The aftertaste is refreshing.
Lately, I like sake with a sense of rice rather than fruity sake.
Good evening 😁I've been curious about this but have never tried it 😅I'm looking forward to tasting some heated sake this year, so this looks good for warming up.
Good morning, Mr. Gura 😃.
I'd like to try it but I haven't had a chance to meet it yet! I'd like to try it but haven't had the chance 🥲This label is also suggestive 😍I'd love to have it heated 🍶.
Hello Jay & Nobby. Dokurakura, there are not many - are there? Do you have a Morinokura? It's a delicious sake, so please do when you visit Fukuoka 🍶The label looks great!
