Bottom of the bottle.
Hmmm...soft mouthfeel.
Slightly banana-like flavor.
Smooth rice kokuuma with a rounded and complex acidity.
It is delicious on its own, but you will want to have something to go with it.
first issue
I was at a liquor store in a department store in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
I was choosing sake at a department store in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, and saw a sake brewer offering tastings.
I have a weakness for this kind of thing.
I was asked to get a bottle of sake that represented the brewery.
The orange label is beautiful.
Hachitan-nishiki, just like Hiroshima.
Mild aroma and strong umami.
A little bit of a twinge, but still..,
Slightly spicy and crisp, a great mid-meal sake.
Pairs well with Thai sashimi
It is a very sharp sake. There is little sweetness and more acidity, but the overall flavor is not that strong.
I tried it with oden and cheese, but it was not the best match, although it was not too much of a hindrance.
It might go surprisingly well with senmaizuke (pickles)!
Sorry for the memorandum 🙏 The second drink at "SAKE Bar Yuu" was also Kabe's sake, "Asahihou".
The second drink at "SAKE Bar Yuu" was also Kabe's sake, "Kyokuho" 🍶.
It is said to be the only remaining brewery in Kabe.
I think that local sake tastes better in a place where there is a sake brewery 😋.
