A couple of years ago, I went to Kakunodate to see cherry blossoms.
When I went to Kakunodate to see cherry blossoms a couple of years ago, I dropped by a restaurant and was recommended this sake.
The restaurant seems to have been around for a long time and is very quaint. ‼️
I was told to go around the museum until my meal arrived.
I remember exploring the museum until my meal arrived.
After the meal, I was recommended to try this Ryu-boiling restaurant, which is one of the limited high-class restaurants in Tokyo.
I remember I was told to go around the museum until I got my 95th meal. I remember I was told that it was only sold at 🤔 and I bought it....
I remember I was told that it was only sold in a limited number of high-end stores in Tokyo.
There were purple, blue and green and I chose blue ‼️
I remember drinking it while regretting the taste at that time.
I wish I could find it again if I had a chance....
This review is just for memory 😁.
The pink label of Junmai Genjyu Pink Label from Ryu Cochin, compared to the usual blue label, you can feel the sweetness of the rice when you drink it, but the aftertaste is wonderful, as if the sweetness is fleeting and then goes away to become minerality.
Unadjusted Funaguchi-shu (unrefined sake) as squeezed
Decided to purchase by recommendation line of Saibayashi Honten
My first impression was that it was fresh!
A citrus-like aroma
The mouthfeel is as citrusy as the aroma.
There is almost no sweetness, but the umami of rice and
and mellowness of the rice.
After the dry taste comes the bitterness and the slight alcohol that gives it a sharp finish.
I have never had before.
It is a strange taste
But it is really delicious.
I think I'm going to get addicted to it!
Personal preference 3.3/5
Ichinomiya & Local Sake Tour Part 5
On a previous trip to Akita, I visited
Chokai-san Omotobiki Shrine, the first shrine in Dewa Province.
I forgot to take a picture of the shrine... Interesting that it has the character "abhorrence" even though it is a shrine!
It is so atmospheric that it is also the location of the Sawashita-jojo fight in Rurouni Kenshin!
Dewaguni is so big that it stretches from Yamagata to Akita.
I bought a bottle of Ryu-bojing at a liquor store near there.
The amber color is well colored and the aroma is gorgeous!
It is not the easy-drinking type often seen in Akita, but a refreshing dry type!
I didn't know they had this type in Akita!
This time I had it as an after-dinner drink, but it would have been better with some snacks.
Thank you very much!
Ofuji-san konbanhar.
I've never seen this one before ( ⊙_⊙) crack me up.
I've recently started to explore the south of Akita prefecture for fishing & liquor stores😅.
Thanks for letting me know that it's dry.
Hi Eirin-san 🌙
I've never seen it in my hometown, but it was on my parent's "to drink" list, so I bought it 😮.
I'm sure you should try it - I've recently gotten to the point where I can even drink dry ✌️.
Brand name you won't see. Akita sake.
The moment you put your mouth on it, you will feel the soft sweetness.
After that, it is a very fresh and raw sake. Yamadanishiki-like.
It has a syrupy mouthfeel, but the bittersweetness tightens it up so it's not too thick (it leaves a bit of a residue on the tongue).
I thought it might be butterbur for a moment, but the aftertaste smells like peaches.
It seems like a sake from the north. Delicious.
The smoothness is also good when it is wet.
I enjoy it with leek salt steamed chicken oil.
