Okunomatsu Shuzo Co. repeats Okunomatsu, Junmai Daiginjo Sparkling
Not that there was anything special about it, but bubbles.
It's sold at the Seiyu in the back anyway.
It doesn't have the cap-blowing intensity of Champagne or Cava, but it has a delicate and long-lasting carbonation, which is the result of the second fermentation in the bottle.
This cup of sake was purchased at the JA Kokora Azuma store in Fukushima Prefecture, which I visited in search of cherries🍒.
It is a honjozo dry sake brewed by Okunomatsu Shuzo in Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, which won the world's top prize in a sake contest.
It is designed with a red beko stuck in the boar's mouth. It is a jacket purchase at first sight😊.
Ingredient rice is domestic rice.
Brewing alcohol added.
Polishing ratio is 65
Alcohol content is 15
Sake degree is +2
The aroma upon opening the bottle is slightly sweet with a hint of alcohol, but it is not harsh.
The sake in the cup is clear and smooth.
The first sip is unexpectedly smooth, with a hint of sweetness that spreads in the mouth but fades away, leaving a clean, crisp, dry taste down the throat. It has a solid structure, and as you continue to drink it, the flavor seems to deepen. You will never get tired of drinking it.
Personally, I used to think that honjozo sake was not my favorite, but I was able to enjoy it, perhaps due to a change in taste. I may have been too much afraid of it because of my dislike for it.
Delicious. The aroma, the first mouthful of flavor, and the umami that comes half a step later. A wave attack. Delicious at any time of the day.
It is more enjoyable to drink it after smelling the aroma. Delicious.
I saw a post on a liquor store's Instagram saying it was so good that they drank it up, so I bought it to drink up myself.
It is delicious!
It has a classical mouthfeel, but the dryness from the mellow umami flavor makes the drink go down very well👍.
It has a high alcohol content, so be careful not to drink too much.
I drank too much and it was hard the next day!
Thanks for the drink!
