Sake 🍶 given as a gift in return from a staff member of the company.
Let's start with the first sip. The aroma of koji (malted rice), which is typical of sake, is more prominent than expected. The mouthfeel is crisp, acidic, and clear. The aftertaste is refreshing.
Serve with stewed potatoes. The slightly sweet potatoes and the acidity of this sake are well balanced and turn into a gentle flavor. A good match 😊As a food sake👍

Potato stew
Purchased at Kesennuma on my trip.
The white label with silver letters is cool ✨.
It's Soutenden's first sake that claims to be dry, so it's spicy right from the start 😚.
After swallowing, you can gradually feel the sweetness and fullness of the rice. ☺️
It goes well with seafood such as sashimi as well as dishes from the Tohoku region such as chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) and simmered dishes with a strong sweetness.

This year too, they sold out of the 1-sho bottle, so we had 4 gou (4 liters).
The impression of new sake was the same as last year, but it was a little milder or quieter, and when we checked the impression, we found that the rice used was different.
The impression of the drinker changes as well.
Today's store sake, second stage
This one was also freshly cut.
For a moment, it smelled and tasted like ramune.
It has the same refreshing taste as the previous Kamito.
