We opened a bottle of Otokoyama Honten's "Sotenden", which we had never had before, at a nearby liquor store.
It has a fresh fruity taste and a pleasant mouthfeel. The impression is consistently refreshing from the first sip to the last. Although the alcohol content is high at 17%, it is a beautiful sake that can be drunk without hesitation.
It is a bottle that makes you want to try other brands of "Soutenden". Delicious: ‼️
Live performance at usual restaurant
The second glass was a new sake from Otokoyama Honten, Miyagi, which we had at the end of last year!
The sweetness of the rice from the sake's tailings lasts from the beginning to the end 😆.
Soutenden Tokubetsu Junmai Shu - Shiboritate Nama-shu
Rating 4.4-4.3
Alcohol: 17%; Rice polishing ratio: 60%; Sake meter: ±0; Ingredient rice: Kura-no-Hana (produced in Miyagi Prefecture)
Junmai-shu carefully brewed by taking advantage of the characteristics of the raw rice. It is bottled with the strength and fresh taste of unadjusted, unpasteurized sake that can only be enjoyed at the brewery. It is characterized by its fresh, fruity aroma, pleasant sweetness, and light, refreshing aftertaste that only freshly pressed sake can provide.
It is round, slightly heavy, and has a hard caramelized taste.
This sake was given to me as a gift from Sendai. It is refreshingly fruity and dark in color, but it tastes good and goes down easy! I'm not always a fan of Junmai, but this is good, totally delicious!
Dodgers, we won!
Yamamoto won!
Sasaki, you did your best!
The sake is Sotenden. I thought of the color blue, but the label is green, but I don't care.
But I don't mind. It's a new sake. I'll give him a break.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's event at ❤️. I'm sure I'll win two in a row!
Let's see what kind of sake we can find at the liquor store.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
I'm looking forward to today! I'm watching the relay race before that, though,
I'd love to watch it while drinking, but I have guests coming over from noon 😭 I'll refrain from doing so.
Let's have a sake fight tonight: ‼️
We had it at an after-party at an inn!
According to the brewer, the rice is harder than expected and the sake has less of a raw sake-like quality than usual!
Here is the third drink! Kesennuma is Otokoyama Shuzo's Sotenden. The owner kindly opened a bottle of this Hoya Boy label for us! The first sip!
It is a crisp and refreshing sake made with Miyagi Prefecture's original Kura-no-Hana (flower of the brewery). The aroma is understated, and the subtle sweetness is nice. The triangular fried fish from the Definition Mountain as a side dish was also a nice touch. Matsushima and Oshima in the background!
