Trip to Fukui (8)
Sake for the night of Fukui trip, we'll close with (8).
I think it's Sake and Soba?
I got the impression that it was very dry and easy to drink, so I decided to buy a souvenir sake, a spicy and refreshing Junmai Ginjo from Ippongi (to give away).
The 4th one is a souvenir for myself that I bought at a sake brewery, I think I'll be able to open the bottle next week.
Brewed with Sakahomare from Fukui Prefecture, this is my companion for tonight. It has been in the refrigerator for more than two years. I wonder how it has rested. When I opened the bottle, I could smell the gentle aroma of grapes. When you put it in your mouth, it just goes down your throat comfortably. The taste is also gentle. It is gentle, but the umami is still there. I don't know if it is due to the fact that it was allowed to rest for a while, but it is calm and gentle. Delicious! The soup of firefly squid and daikon radish is delicious, bringing out the sweetness in the aftertaste while maintaining the delicacy of the sake. The smoked oyster has a strong aroma, but it gently envelops you without losing its flavor. The Japanese ratatouille flavored with pickled plums strongly brings out the sweetness of the sake and is excellent! I thought it would be difficult to marry this delicate sake, but in fact, it had a very strong core!
