Sake that makes me want to drink it whenever I see it.
The sake was gentle to drink and left a slight aftertaste, so I ordered oyster tempura to go with it!
I enjoyed it even more!

On a business trip, at a tempura restaurant in Imaike, Nagoya
Ordered the local sake recommendation.
I was already drunk so all I remember is how good it tasted😅.
I want to drink it again😍💕.
Kunmai Daiginjo Betsuatsurae
Rating 4.5
Ingredients: Yamadanishiki, Polishing ratio: 35%, Alcohol: 15
Junmai Daiginjo with 35% polished Yamadanishiki. This is the flagship product of brewer Kuheiji. The nose has ripe fruit aromas of pear and melon, with subtle spice nuances. On the palate, there is an attack of umami, followed by elegant acidity and a delicate, pleasant bitterness.
I was having a lunchtime drink at a popular izakaya in Kitasenju when I unexpectedly discovered Kuheiji and ordered it!
I'm not sure how well it has been preserved, but it still has a gorgeous aroma and sweetness.
The smell was sweet with a watery flavor, the mouthfeel was watery and the aftertaste came with an alcoholic bitterness feeling, which is what sake is all about!
As time passed after the bottle was opened, the mouthfeel became stronger with a mellow sake flavor and the aftertaste was very refreshing and delicious!
It has a robust, bitter taste.
When paired with something with a strong oily taste, such as chives, the fat is cut off cleanly and the bitterness is eliminated.
Tempura one after another!
On this day, we had fresh sea urchin wrapped in shiso leaves and pesto of swordfish liver!
We also had a rare treat!
Even though they said they would keep the sake to a minimum, they poured a lot!
The next one was a Junmai Daiginjo from the brewer Kuheiji HUMAN!
It is a beautiful sake!
I guess when you polish it up nicely, it becomes a pure sake!
