I heard that Kawanakajima is in trouble this year.
I'm Fuwarin, who drank it last year and liked it a lot,
This year, too, I'm having a lot of fizz.
Aroma and attack are a little nutty. The sweetness is a bit weak, and the bitterness comes to the forefront. I like that the bitterness is mild because of the strong fizz (childish tongue).
I was surprised to find that it really smells like yogurt!
The taste is not yogurt at all, which makes me wonder about sake.
The sake is austere and robust.
The thick flavor of special junmai sake lingers in the mouth with a sharp taste.
Perfectly matched with the stewed fish
I had a bottle of Kawanakajima nigori (sparkling nigori sake) that I had previously enjoyed, so I picked up a bottle to see what the regular Kawanakajima was like 😊.
Although it does not have a pronounced fruity taste, it is a soft and easy-drinking sake.
It is a soft and easy to drink sake.
This is the second bottle opened this evening and I chose this one 💁.
Kawanakajima Dry Special Junmai 2025BY✨
I'm pairing it with the Akinatai fish sashimi for dinner.
The aroma is a mild rice aroma, which will not interfere with the meal. The attack on the palate is typical Kawanakajima, sweet and delicious, then dry, crisp and clear, with a relaxing taste 👍.
Although it is dry, it is very easy to drink and quite smooth and delicious 😋😋😋😋😋.
★★★★★
Aroma of yogurt. Mild and smooth.
Strong acidity. Strong rice flavor and gentle sweetness.
When heated, it has a twang, but the sweetness increases, making it a sweet sake for adults.
Let's go to Nagano since we have traveled southward from Tohoku!
Kawanakajima, I asked for a sake that reminded me of Genshu Mai, but it was a solid muddy sake!
It is not too sweet and not too spicy with a strong sense of rice.
Still, we finished it in no time... Let's try the next one!
