It's getting cold, so I just warmed this sake from Shimane. It has so umami and slightly sharp and dry when I tasted it. I guess it is suitable to pair with sashimi or other fish cuisine.
Ten Asahi Koji 39.
As the name suggests, it is a sake with 39% koji 🍶.
The first aroma is sweet with a hint of acidity.
In the mouth, it has a rich sweetness with a hint of sourness.
It is a sweet and sour type of sake that is often found in sake with a high percentage of koji, but it has a core strength that is typical of the Ten Asahi Sake (maybe because it is an R5BY?). It was a very strong sake.
It was delicious 🍶✨️
Gohyakumangoku, 70% polished rice
It has been a long time since it had a strong aroma. It has a piercing aroma.
Gutsy and dry. It's a very typical Han style.
It's useless to match something strong tasting with snacks. Dry taste for a man is also rare in this day and age.
70% 17% Mr. Meguro's Omachi from Kurashiki
Sake degree is -13!
At Sunrise Izumo
Near Izumo station, I bought it at a brewery.
After tasting the sake, I thought it was a good brewery, mainly dry, but then I heard they had a limited edition of Amakuchi, so I bought it!
It was full of sweetness, but had a nice sharp aftertaste thanks to the acidity?
Nice aftertaste, the acidity doesn't assert itself or get in the way.
No bubbles, this is a winner!
It was a draft sake and was produced in March. Lucky for us, it survived well.
Purchased at the Asahi Sake Brewery, a 5-minute walk from Izumo City Station
I don't usually buy nigori sake, but I bought this one from the store.
Even so, it was surprisingly easy to drink, with a sharpness and aftertaste better than the nigori sake I remember!
I heard that you can enjoy the taste of each year's sake, so I'm looking forward to it!
I visited a sake brewery, bought it and drank it at home.
It's a sake for the year of the dragon, so it's been aged for a year.
It has a yogurt-like flavor, but it is not harsh and has a refreshing aftertaste.
It is said that each year has its own flavor, so you can also enjoy it.
Lovely ginkgo label 😆.
Gohyakumangoku rice harvested in Shimane is polished in-house and carefully brewed. The sake is fermented vigorously, resulting in a dry junmai sake with umami and sharpness. The sake is pressed in the spring, hi-ire it, and let it mature slowly in the brewery during the summer, and only available seasonally in the fall, when its roundness and umami are revealed.
