Extra Edition. On the way home, I found a pack of Kitakata sake at a convenience store and bought it. It was my first time drinking sake with a straw💦It just had a strong bitter taste and I couldn't finish it. Yes, cheap sake is just as good as it should be (of course).
It was chilled in the refrigerator and served in a wine glass. I compared it with Echigozakura🌸 Junmai Daiginjo from Niigata. The aroma seems to be less intense than that of Echigo-zakura. But the taste of rice spreads in the mouth and it is sweet and easy to drink. When I warmed the glass in the palm of my hand and drank it, the sweetness increased even more. It may be too sweet for those who prefer dry sake, but it may be suitable for women.
Today we will enjoy a local sake from Fukushima Prefecture
We will enjoy Junmai Daiginjo Koku by Homare Shuzo!
The aroma is fruity with a hint of pear.
The taste is sweet at the beginning, and after that it is refreshing and delicious!
It is more refreshing than other Aizu sake. Dry type. But it also has Aizu's originality and umami. It goes well with fried food and light snacks as a mid-meal sake.
Third submission from the San Francisco Bay Area. Gassy, melon and strawberry flavors, medium dry, soft on the palate. Great with Chanterelle Croquettes with squid ink. Next time I would like to try it with tempura and rock salt.
It has a sticky mouthfeel, fruity aroma, and is so easy to drink that you wouldn't think it was 15 degrees. I chilled it, but it didn't feel very cold, so next time I'll try it with ice.
In fact, I went to high school in Kitakata City. I was not good at sake at that time (at that time, drinking was allowed from the age of 16 in Fukushima prefecture. (I got a few bottles in Kitakata after all these years. This brewery must have been owned by a senior in my high school.
The main thing is the taste. It has a piquant spiciness and a wine-like ginjo aroma that passes through the nose.
The sweetness followed afterwards.
This is delicious!
Good evening, nabe 😃.
I have visited Kitakata when I went from Aizuwakamatsu to Yonezawa 🚗.
Did you live in Kitakata when you were in high school?
Aizu Homare was introduced in Sakaue Sando and I'd like to try it once 🍶.
Thank you for your comment, soumacho.
Yes, I stayed at a boarding house because it was not convenient to commute from my parents' house. Did you eat ramen in Kitakata? I recommend Shanghai.
Please drink the sake of Kitakata.
