On the day of the Ox, we are supposed to give out freshly grilled eel at work ❗I bought one for myself 😁💨💨I decided to drink at home with eel today 😆I thought about using summer sake, but then I remembered I had some Dokurakuzo lying around and pulled it out 🎵It's a 2019 sake but it doesn't feel old and the acidity matches the fat in the eel 🎵Delicious 😋It's good chilled or heated 👍Delicious! Delicious 😋It can be served cold or warm👍
Good evening, pyonpyon 🌛.
The day of the Ox is the day to look forward to having a bowl of eel 😁.
Is this eel the type with sauce afterwards?
I was curious because it looks like it is grilled with a slight tare color, different from shiroyaki ✨.
Good morning, Gyve ❗I bought a grilled eel with sauce ❗It also came with sauce for 👍️ chasing 😋It wasn't too sweet and was good with sake 🎵I'll leave the Dokurakura, which has been open for 3 months, for a little while longer ✨.
Hello pyonpyon🐦!
It seems like only yesterday that I was surprised that you went to get eel last year 😳You are a year early 💦Some solid sake and eel sounds like a good match 😻No doubt it's delicious 😆.
Pon-chan, good morning 💕You're right, a year early ❗This year we're pairing with Dokurakura 😋The old sake feeling has gone from when the bottle was opened and the acidity has come out in full force 🍶It's mild and delicious when heated 🎵I look forward to more changes 😆.
Old sake bought on a trip to Fukuoka.
When I asked at a sake store if they had any old sake, they said this was the only one they had, so I had no choice (´-ω-`).
It has a moderate aged aroma, and when drunk chilled, the acidity comes in quickly followed by umami, which is delicious but not easy to drink.
The true essence of the wine is when it is heated up to 40-50℃, which gives a very different impression.
Especially at 45℃ or higher, it becomes much more refreshing and easy to drink.
It is pale yellow and has a firm sharpness.
Perhaps it is because it was served at room temperature, but it seems to be thick and has a strong aroma and acidity.
A perfect match with gari-bata edamame (green soybeans).
Dokurakura is an aged sake brand from Morinokura.
This is the first time I've had an aged one 🍶.
I had it warmed.
The aroma is slightly sweet with a sense of maturity.
The first sip has a sweet aroma with a hint of maturity.
It was a refreshing and crisp sake ✨.
The third picture shows the manufacturing facility of Morinokura and the renovated main building on the left side, which is used for tasting and selling sake to tourists (nonbe?). The third picture shows the production facility of the brewery and the "Mori no Away" on the left.
There was also a limited edition unfiltered raw sake from the brewery.
I'll get to that later.
Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo.
Fukuoka's sake is delicious, isn't it?
Among them, Dokurakura and Morinokura are my favorites. But I have never had a sake made from the oldest sake yeast and Yamahai sake.
I am curious about them.
Good evening Mr. Maruwa🍶.
Yes, that's right. I didn't know about it until recently and came to Fukuoka on a drinking trip😅.
Morinokura is delicious, but I'm going for Asahikiku 😊.
Good evening, Matsuchiyo🌇.
Thank you for appreciating our Fukuoka sake 😊.
Morinokura is a serious sake brewery that makes all of its sake from mukashi to junmai!
Please continue to support us 📣🤲.
Good evening, Mr. Chichi 🍶.
I myself was born in Fukuoka and drank in Hakata, so I may have a very favourable opinion 😅 but good food is good food!
I will continue to support Fukuoka sake 😆.
The moment you drink it, the slightly sweet rice flavor fills your mouth. It is not particularly crisp, but every time you drink it, your mouth is reset and you can easily eat rice. It was served lukewarm.
