As a resident of Kyushu, my heart aches when I think of the recent torrential rain disaster in Kyushu and the damage to various rice farmers and sake breweries 😖.
I thought I would try to support them as much as possible, so I bought this one, which I drank last year!
Moderately bittersweet Hoshi no Yoru de Hoho
The name is wonderful ✨
Well, as for the taste, the top aroma has a faint melon aroma 🍈.
The overt aroma is a little subdued, like melon or banana, and is preceded by sourness and a hint of gas.
Then sweetness and umami, followed by a slightly stronger bitterness and astringency that slowly fades away. ☺️
It's a little low at 14% and low alcohol, so it's easy to drink ✨.
It's a calm night with a starry sky and a clear sky after the rain we had the other day.
And lastly, I pray that the affected areas will recover soon.
Good evening, Chirsta 😃.
Beautiful starry night and roaring stormy night, really both of them, the weather changes as if it was not true at that time 😅It is also important to support Kyushu by drinking Kyushu sake!
Good evening, Mr. Chesta😄.
I see that it's not raining in Kyushu right now. I hope the recovery progresses quickly, but I don't know the damage at all... 🥺I can only support by drinking Kyushu sake 🙏 There are not many Kyushu sake in my hometown 😭
Hi Hina Hana Mama 😃.
It's sunny now, as if the rain over the holidays was a lie: ☀️
My favorite liquor store information is that some sake rice might have been damaged 😣.
Oh no 😓 but I'm happy just for the feeling 🙏.
I keep drinking summer sake. The name and label are cute. It was light in flavor and drank like a sparkling wine. I felt the sweetness at the kinky stage, but as it approached room temperature, the aroma of rice became stronger and both were delicious~!
zitting cisticola (Cisticola juncidis)
Received at a brewery event. Casual label. Easy to drink.
Named for the combination of the founder's family name "Higashi" and "Tsuru", a symbol of longevity and good fortune.
The brewery has been in business since the Edo period but temporarily went out of business; in 2011, the 6th generation brewer reestablished the business and has renewed the quality of the sake to be modern and aromatic.
It has a sweet and sour taste in addition to the gentle sweetness of Sanbon sugar. It is delicious, but how to describe it... I looked at the liquor store's website and saw "lychee aroma" and thought "This is it! I thought, "That's it!
It's sweet, but easy to drink and nice and refreshing!
A drink at a sushi restaurant you are visiting for the first time.
When asked, "What kind of sushi do you like?"
I am usually asked
I usually give a vague order
I enjoy giving a vague order.
Many sushi restaurants prefer a dry taste, but we do have a "light sweet taste".
When I hear the word "Black", I imagine dry,
This is a beautiful sweet wine. The taste is not monotonous,
It is not monotonous, but has a nice umami taste. It is not so assertive that it interferes with the meal, and it has a good sharpness. It is delicious.
At home, I can only handle Yongbottle, but I guess it tastes better in Ippong bottles.
Pale white color with a hint of oriki. The top aroma reminds one of umami, with an aroma reminiscent of grain and kelp dashi (seaweed broth). The strength of the aroma is medium. It has a refreshing mouthfeel with a slight effervescence. Strong astringency. The nose has hints of vanilla and custard cream. Medium lingering finish. Mellow sake.
After purchasing it at Sumiyoshi Sake Brewery in Hakata Station in April, I carefully kept it in the refrigerator.
I searched for Sumiyoshi Shukan at the location, but it no longer appears 😢.
The balance of flavors other than sweetness is very good. I would like to drink it crisp and chilled. I think it goes well with cream cheese, miso, fruit, olive oil, and sashimi. I drank it with Chinese food, and it is also very good.
This is the white malted rice side of the Higashi Tsuru drinking comparison. This is an unusual sake, as sake is usually brewed with yellow malted rice, but this sake is brewed with black and white malted rice, respectively.
The white malted rice has a sour, apple-like taste, and perhaps because the rice and milling ratio are the same, it has a very similar taste with a refreshing acidity and sweetness. The white malted rice is a bit more acidic and refreshing, but you may not notice it unless you are told.
It is not a black-and-white comparison. Both are very tasty.
Higashitsuru is one of our recent favorites. It is a rare sake that is usually brewed with yellow malted rice, but this sake is brewed with black and white malted rice, respectively. We happened to be able to compare them at an izakaya, so we decided to give it a try.
Both black and white malted rice sake have a sour, apple-like taste. It is very tasty, with a refreshing yet sour and sweet taste. It also has the freshness of a fresh sake. If I had to say, I would say that black malted rice is a little richer.
You can't go wrong with Azumakizuru. It was very delicious.
Second glass.
It doesn't come off. Looks like it was bottled in June.
I wonder if it's the last lot.
The carbonation is strong since the bottle was just opened.
The sweetness is also strong.
Higashitsuru's seasonal limited edition never misses.
