The drinks held at a recent drinking party at our house (5)
Shinsei Sato Ubei
A bottle brought by a junior colleague from Akita
It was the first time for me to drink this rare bottle, which is almost exclusively available only to locals.
It was different from Shinmasa's image of a sake with a low alcohol content, but it was very drinkable while retaining the good aroma of the traditional sake.
It makes you want to drink it little by little!
As the description says, it was light pink and looked good, but the aroma and taste were both quite subtle.
I enjoy the hanpukai every year, but I think this Hinotori was quite a challenge.
At a sake party with a careful opening.
Sparkling Niimasa. There may be some compensation for Niimasa, but I think this was the best. A delicious one.
Here are some quotes
↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
Characteristics: Tenkaeru is a low-alcohol sparkling sake with a strong carbonation produced by secondary fermentation in the bottle. It has an alcohol content of less than 10% and is made with low-polished rice, but still has an elegant flavor with little cloying taste, thanks to the application of ginjo brewing techniques.
Care: Due to the secondary fermentation in the bottle, the gas pressure can be very high and requires strict refrigeration at temperatures below -5°C (-5°F). Care must be taken when opening the bottle, and it is not recommended for beginners because of the "angry frog phenomenon," a blowout or outburst accident that can occur.
Availability: Due to the extreme difficulty of the manufacturing process, this is a limited distribution product released in small quantities from May to July. Because it is a special product, many sake stores only sell it over-the-counter, and it is said to be a phantom sake that is difficult to obtain.
Taste: It is characterized by its freshness, lightness and fruity sweetness, like ripe grapefruit, and is said to go well not only with Japanese food but also with Western food and appetizers.
