Unforgettable March 11
This day reminds me of many things
Drinking for a friend whose birthday happens to be on this day (even though he is still alive and well)
Freshness of freshly squeezed sake
Easy to drink and match
The cohesiveness of the wine without feeling the 17% alcohol content.
It has a great flavor and goes well with sashimi.
Can't do anything with it, but drink it anyway.
At Sake Shochu
This is the second of two bottles I purchased during my recent expedition to Kasama, Ibaraki. I feel like it's been a while since I drank lees😅.
If you want to enjoy mainly the taste of rice, you can enjoy nigori (orikarami). ☺️
#Sake Rice: Hitanishiki (produced in Kasama)
#Polishing ratio: 65
#Alcohol content: 15
The wife barks "I want to eat chestnut sweets, let's go to Kasama❗". (`o')<<<
As I am not a fan of sweets, I put my mother-in-law's condition, "If we stop by a place where we can buy Ibaraki's local sake". 😎.
So, I made an expedition to Kasama, Ibaraki Prefecture.
So I went to Isokura Nagaya and bought one of the two bottles I purchased.
It is Isokura Shuzo's flagship, junmai-shu (with fire-working).
The first sip was a "umami-kuchi type? The first sip is a "umami-guchi" type of sake, but it quickly goes down smoothly, and the sake goes down well.
Personally, I thought it would go well with dashi (Japanese soup stock) type meals.
The first draft sake brewed with this year's new rice!
It is slightly carbonated at 17 degrees and comes with a gusto, but the sweetness and freshness of the rice comes later!
It can be served with meat as a snack.
