It was a chilly day today, but it was a great day for the heated sake drinkers.
We opened a bottle of the top-quality sake from the Daishichi Shuzo brewery.
Compared to the standard Daishichi Namaoto Junmai, it is lighter in body and has a slightly alcoholic feel.
However, as the name "kokujo" implies, the clearness of this sake is due to the unparalleled love for rice, which is expressed by the ultra-flattened rice polishing.
It is not a matter of good or bad, but an artistic bottle.
It's been a long time since I've had a drink today
Start with a cup of sake!
This cup of sake is made from a traditional sake brewer's yeast.
It has a sweet taste, but it's refreshing 😋.
A nice cup of sake and a good mood in the morning 😄.
And this last photo is the print on the back of the cup label!
You can feel the love of the brewer!
cold sake
Fluffy rummy aroma
Soft and fluffy rice sweetness in the mouth
Not much acidity.
The mouthfeel is smooth and smooth, but there is a light umami flavor on the tongue.
The aftertaste is short and the sweetness of the rice is soft and lingers on the tongue.
Serve with wasabi mayo coleslaw.
Sake with an aged flavor and wasabi mayo did not go well together, but this one has a refreshing aroma like ramune, wasabi flavor in the nose, and the oiliness of the mayo.
Heated sake (50°C)
The aroma of ramune disappears, but there is a soft sweetness on the palate.
A little sourness.
The sweetness is concentrated and the umami is stronger due to the sourness and bitterness.
It's good.
The aftertaste is short and clean.
Goes well with yakitori.
Easy to drink cold or heated.
The lady at the liquor store recommended Dai-Shichi's Nama-Hashiroshi Nama-Hara Sake🍶 to me.
The aroma is subdued, with a robust acidity that comes from the moment you take a sip.
It has a freshness that is typical of nama-shu and a soft sweetness that spreads in the mouth 😊.
It has a deep flavor created by the strong acidity that only a sake brewed with a traditional sake yeast yeast yeast yeast can produce.
The aftertaste is a lingering sourness and bitterness that gradually fades away.
I have the impression that it was a little heavy for me, a lover of sweet and fruity tastes, but if you like it, you will love this sake 🍶.
