I met my dream car in Sendai.
It was a long trip from Aichi to Sendai, but it was a trip I will never forget.
The "En" that I received in Sendai was also an unforgettable sake.
Katsuyama for the first time.
They used Hitomebore sake instead of sake rice.
The aroma is subdued but fresh, like pears.
The mild acidity spreads.
The acidity that passes through the nose combined with the umami of the rice is exquisitely balanced!
When cooled, the acidity becomes more pronounced, and when it reaches room temperature, the umami and pungency also become stronger, making it a good sake as a mealtime drink.
The strong acidity makes it a good match for sour snacks, but it also goes well with sweet and spicy snacks.
The avocado is worth mentioning!
Pairing: Baked fluffy yam, fried oysters, rolled egg, garland chrysanthemum salad with ham and salted kelp, saraspa, tamed avocado with nori seaweed
My favorite taste
I bought it at random at NewDays in Sendai station, but it was a hit with its fruity and sake-like taste.
I could drink it all the time.
Sake from Katsuyama Sake Brewery in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture. It is a gutto in a wine bottle🍾. It was delicious, with just the right amount of umami and acidity, with a touch of sweetness later on.
Katsuyama En
A softly sweet and calm sake.
I think it might be the sweetness of rice, but it is quite subdued.

Today we will be enjoying a genuine sake brewed with rice and water from Sendai and brewed in the same area 🍶.
The aroma is... almost nonexistent.
It is very easy to make love to and very easy to drink.
Gentle sweetness, umami, and good acidity blend together beautifully✨.
I was a little disappointed right after opening the bottle, but after a day of drinking it, the flavor increased and it became more delicious 😋.
It is not too sweet, but it has a calm and elegant taste with a hint of bitterness.
It's not flashy, but it went well with Japanese food and sashimi 😊.

It was delicious 😋.
It was given to me by an acquaintance.
It has a sweet taste on the palate at first, but it is dry and refreshing. It is delicious! I can drink it without getting tired of it.
