Touring the sake corner of a drugstore (Cosmos), I found this sake for 1,106 yen with a 30% discount. I looked it up on the Internet and found that it was from a brewery that has a good reputation in Gifu Prefecture. The name "Asahi" was the same as my grandson's name. I had no choice but to buy it. So we drank it. The rice used is rice rice to keep costs down. It has a mild aroma of pineapple and feels soft. The internet says it is characterized by sweetness, but it does not seem so sweet. It is sold by a major sake brewer (more like a sake manufacturer?). The sake is not comparable to the daiginjos sold by major breweries (more like sake makers?) that are sold with unknown rice. The cosmos I go to has a changeover and last year's crop was on sale, so it will continue to be a target for my patrol. 😊
I saw it on each liquor store's instagram before summer and was curious about it, but in September I found it at Daimaru😅.
It's a non-pressurized sake, so it has a soft and gentle mouthfeel like a high-end sake. It has a slightly fizzy, green apple-like sweetness to a trace of bitterness.
The bitterness at the end is typical of Miyamanishiki.
Kozaemon invented his own no-pressure pressing and named it Pile Driver 🤔.
Pile driver is the name of a wrestling technique.
The only wrestling move I know is the Bren Buster 🙄.
bouken-san Good evening. I personally liked this very much. I agree with you about the bitterness from the sweetness. I heard that the liquor store I often go to now has a new Omachi, so I'm thinking of buying some.
Chef's sake #2
Sweet melon-like aroma, sweet, sour and fruity, smooth and fresh on the throat. The alcohol content is light.
It is a delicious sake that you can drink as much as you want.
It doesn't interfere with the taste of the meal, but it's a little bit assertive.
I can't help but like it! I don't have to have it, so I won't repeat it.
