Yesterday, I went to Fushimi Baru.
I visited Fujiwara two years ago, a brothel-turned-restaurant with a great atmosphere. A large Eikun barrel is placed inside the counter, and you are served sake drawn from the barrel and poured into a glass. I don't know the name of the barrel, but it tastes great. It was a very tasty sake that went well with the excellent sashimi and tiojiru.
Gently sweet and fruity. It is refreshing and very tasty.
Today, I participated in the Kintetsu Hiking [Sake Brewery Tour]. The goal was Saito Sake Brewery of Eikun, my favorite sake brewery. I was so happy that I even bought a ballpoint pen.
I was told that this sake celebrates 2/22 "Cat's Day". Moreover, this sake was sold in a limited edition of 222 bottles.
Sold exclusively at Isetan Kyoto
Gorgeous aroma
Soft sweetness and pungency on the palate, but they quickly disappear and leave a watery aftertaste. The aftertaste has a grain aroma and pungency.
Alcohol level 16%.
Sake level: Slightly high
Acidity: Low
Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The aroma is faintly sweet with a slight sour note. When you drink it, a distinctive sweetness that is similar to that of sake from western Japan runs through your mouth. Yet, there is no unpleasant aftertaste, so it is a sake that can be drunk without hesitation.
