This is my first favorite sake.
I had it at an izakaya near Kyobashi in Tokyo on 2019/8, and I've kind of forgotten what it tastes like, but I remember drinking it on the side of the road, and it was quite a pleasure to take it out of the fridge and drink it one sip at a time!
The aroma is crisp. The first impression on the palate is sweet, but the dryness comes later on in the back of the throat.
It is just like the season when you feel the temperature difference between morning and evening.
Purchase Marucho Shoten
Recently I have been cutting back on alcohol and living a beauty life with a healthy dose of Fukumitsuya's Silky Amazake, but today I will have this one.
Color and aroma like Shaoxing sake.
When served hot, it had an amino acid-like sourness and a slight bitterness.
I would like to taste the difference between different temperatures, including cold and room temperature.

It's a sake for the expert who can compete with the food."
I was told.
Today we had it with pan con tomate, salad, and clam chowder.
It goes well with it.
Fukumitsuya never misses ☺.
I bought this when I visited Kanazawa in the aftermath of the earthquake. The first sip gives the impression that it is not so assertive, but has a sharp taste and disappears quickly. However, after repeated sips, the taste is quite rich. It does not interfere with food and is an easy-to-drink food sake 😄🍶.
When served at a higher temperature, the flavor changed drastically 🍶.
It became sharper and the umami was amplified ✨.
I paired it with grilled white eel, but the flavor of the eel was not overpowered by the flavor of the eel, and the fat from the eel was washed away smoothly. It was a great drink 🍶😚.
