A new winter-only sake.
Slightly carbonated and refreshingly sweet. Rice sweetness.
It makes you feel stylish.
I paired it with grilled fish (hokke) that I happened to have on hand, and it was quite a marriage.
I think it goes well with light fish.
Sweet! Okimadohasare shirakiku no hana (white chrysanthemum flower) 🍁The name sticks for those who like the Anthology of One Hundred and One Poems: ☺️ though the kanji seems to be different.
Rich melon with tropical fruit nuances
Mild acidity
The raw material rice used is Milky Queen, which is characterized by its stickiness like glutinous rice and milky white color like milk.
Black and yellow malted rice are used for brewing.
In addition, black yeast amazake is added as a finishing touch.
The result is a bottle with a sweetness that does not lose out to the sourness.
Balanced. Slightly carbonated and stimulating. Fruity taste is restrained. Tastes great with food or snacks. It can be served cold or warmed. Personally, I have the impression that it is better to leave it a little longer than to drink it immediately after opening the bottle, as it will become more accustomed to the drink and the corners will be removed.
Today's drink is this one 💁.
One of my favorite brands... Shiroki Kyu, a winter-only sake.
After drinking Chimera for the first time this year... I was hooked.
After all....if you're Japanese, your staple food should be rice. 🙂↕️
To be honest, edible rice isn't even suitable for sake making... but the fact that it's made from edible rice impressed me 🥹.
I'm sorry for the long preamble, but.......here we go!
The aroma is apple-like? I think it's an apple type aroma, but not too much? Maybe 🤔.
Pour it into a glass and there is not much difference....
The first sip, I can feel the fruity and slightly fizzy sensation of the raw sake, but it is a little acidic and has a strong tang ❓.
The sweetness is much less than the Chimera and URANISHI I've had in the past 🤔.
It's good in its own way, but I think it's a little less Shirokikyu 😢.
Personally, I think I like it better if it were a little sweeter 💧.
The perfect balance of sweetness and complexity makes for an addictive taste lol
ps. I was impressed with the delicious products brewed with edible rice, Asahi Hou in Asakita, Hiroshima 👍.
That was seriously the most delicious and cost-effective 😆.
Slightly effervescent with a graininess.
While there is sweetness in the first half
The aftertaste is dry 😋.
On the 5th day, the fizziness disappears and the sweetness and bitterness increase.
Sweetness and bitterness increase.
The aftertaste is very stimulating 😙.

My first Marugen Ramen 🍜.
I've been wanting to try it and finally 🤩.
They recommend the classic meat soba, so I ordered the vegetable meat soba. ☝️
I see what you mean, it's delicious 😋.
