It has a good balance between a moderate sharpness and umami, giving the impression of being a sake to be enjoyed with the tongue rather than the aroma. It is good with sashimi as well as jibe-ni (stewed vegetables).
The sake bottle and faceted glass are also very nice.
It's a bit on the dark side, so in the fall and winter, I'd like to warm it up and enjoy it with oden... I can't resist good food and good sake when I'm on a trip 😁 lol.
(By the way, I recommend the sake shop near this Takasakiya store to anyone who loves sake.)
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.
