At Yoshiike in Okachimachi.
It's been a while since I've had it heated.
The rice is full of umami, which is accentuated by heating it up.
It is aromatic and dry, but clear and easy to drink.
100% Gohyakumangoku produced in Niigata Prefecture
Polishing ratio 60
17 degrees Celsius
served cold
The first impression is that it is strong.
The aftertaste is light, and when you notice it, it is empty.
Definitely match with seafood, light food is recommended.
The second drink was at an izakaya (Japanese style bar). This is a sake from Naoetsu.
It goes well with nameko mushrooms. It is delicious. The water is very honest and slightly sweet.
Very nice.
I tasted this bottle in Niigata and enjoyed it.
I let it sit for a while and drank it again yesterday.
It was quite different from the impression I had in Niigata. I had an image of it being more fruity and juicy, but when I actually drank it, it was light and dry. It is a good sake for a mealtime drink.
I would like to see how the taste changes after a few days.
