Was it March?
I was looking at the display at Hasegawa-ya, thinking that I haven't had Murayu for a while, when I found Hanakoshiji, a local brand of Murayu Sake Brewery!
I was curious about this one!
Speaking of Murayu, it is a sweet style that goes the opposite way of Niigata light and dry, but how about this one?
The aroma is mild. Sweet aroma that is typical of rice(!). The mouthfeel is sweet, or rather, delicious!
When you put it in your mouth, it is sweet, or rather, delicious!
It has the umami of rice and the sweetness derived from it!
Um, this umami is Koshitanrei, right?
It is a characteristic of the Murayu Brewery that all specifications are undisclosed, but this is Koshitanrei, isn't it?
It has been a week since the bottle was opened.
When you drink it, the sweetness settles down, and there is an alcoholic feeling and a slight spiciness. And the umami of rice.
No matter how you think about it, there's no way not to warm up this sake.
I warmed it to lukewarm for the first time.
The aroma is sweet with a hint of alcohol-derived acidity.
In the mouth, there is alcohol and acidity, and the umami of rice spreads!
Hmmm. If the alcohol and acidity are typical of Murayusuke, the remaining umami can only be attributed to Koshitanrei.
I don't think even Gohyakumangoku can produce this level of umami.
Sake made by the Murayu Sake Brewery is basically a stand-alone sake. Karokaro is no exception, but it can be paired with cheese or other rich flavors.
