After seeing Marugame Castle in the evening glow, we enjoyed recommended local sake with local fish from Shiokaku.
Ayagiku Junmai Ginjo Ouseto
Ayagiku Sake Brewery (Ayagawa Town, Ayaka County, Kagawa Prefecture)
Aya Kiku, a locally brewed sake from Ayagawa, Kagawa check-in.
It is a gentle, easy-drinking sake with a grain-based sweetness that goes down easy🍶.
My wife, who is from Kagawa, says it is a brand that is often sold at local supermarkets.
Rice-like aroma with acidity.
It has a sweet, muscat and apple aroma.
The mouthfeel is fresh and mineral.
Aaah! I caught it and spilled it all....
It's a taste I like.
It seems to be good as a food wine to go with wine-like food.
Taste level 3.5/5
The third drink is here.
Sake made with Sanuki olive yeast and olives, which is also the Kagawa prefectural tree.
The aroma is sweet and sour, and the clear sweetness is refreshingly sweet with a crisp acidity, making this sake very fresh and refreshing. Easy to drink
Pale yellowish and clear, with aromas of yogurt, pear and honeysuckle. The attack is rather strong, with a firm acidity, moderate sweetness and a rather long finish.
Ayagiku Shuzo Daiginjo Chouyou!
This sake is brewed with Oceto rice and olive yeast.
The color of the bottle is a refreshing olive green, a specialty of Kagawa Prefecture.
The aroma is gorgeous and the attack is fresh and fruity, but before the umami spreads in the mouth, there is a fine, moderate acidity and bitterness, and the finish is sharp. Overall, it was a cohesive and elegant bottle!
I got a delivery I don't remember from the month before last 👀.
I opened it and found that I had won a drawing for a sake giveaway campaign that I often see on sake POP around September 🎉.
It was a long time since I've had a bottle of Ayagiku 😁.
Cold sake
Oily aroma
Smooth mouthfeel
More mellow than mellow
Finishes cleanly.
I was entering at least once a week because there was no limit on the number of receipts for a total of 3000 yen or more sake purchases 😅.
I bought sake from different regions, but I'm glad the one I received wasn't the brand I bought 🤣.
