Very gentle aroma, a little ricey and a little fruity.
In the mouth, you can taste the umami of rice, but very gently, and there is also a strong sense of acidity and alcohol. And it has a slight effervescence.
The balance is too good to be true.
When I drank it one day after opening the bottle, I felt that both the rice and fruity sensations had opened up.
It seems to go well with vinegared rice and makes me want to eat sushi.
I thought, so I gave it a try.
I had some grilled mackerel sushi as a souvenir.
I knew it would go really well with it 😭
I imagined it would be sweet and sour since it uses only rice grown in Yatsuo, Toyama, just like mother, but it was a direct match!
Tama-Asahi Cathe
Tama Asahi's challenge sake for this season, "Kate".
Starting this season, the local agricultural corporation "Kate-no-Sato" in Yatsuo Town has produced the sake rice Yuyama-Nishiki, which was then brewed into sake.
The first batch was released in a limited edition of 300 bottles as Junmai Daiginjo unfiltered raw sake.
Tama" means "generosity" and is meant to convey our goal of being a sake brewery loved by all. The "Asahi" represents the hope that sake will "light up" meals, dances, and festivals. In other words, we aim to create a sake brewery that lights up the community with a bright and happy light.
(I'm giving you the brands I enjoyed drinking last year because I want to conquer the 47 prefectures. Sorry for the consecutive posts...)
As the name suggests, it is a dessert sake 😋.
Great after dinner!
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Tried it after it was recommended to me at the store. It was so fruity that I could no longer believe it was a white wine. It also has acidity. I want to drink it all the time!

The second of four bottles set on the round table.
Mmmm, sweet and sour, or rather sweet.
