Drink at Izakaya near Hakozaki Station
Drink cold
Slightly classic aroma
Heavy and rich with a tingling dryness on the palate
Good sharpness of flavor
Clear aftertaste with a refreshing throat.
Easy to pair with sashimi, chilled tofu, and other snacks.
It might have a different taste if it were heated up.
It's been a long time since I had a Hakkaisan. It's been so long that I can't even remember when I last drank it.
Personally, I don't think it has a light flavor, and the mellowness of the arugula gives it a gentle but not sweet taste.
The rice polishing ratio is 55% and the alcohol content is 15.5 degrees. I didn't understand it in the past, but it is a wonderful sake as a new awareness 🍶.
I saw Sandesi and decided to give it a try. Even if it is not suitable for me, the small volume will not hurt me too much.
I had kept it in the refrigerator for a while after purchasing it, so the first time I drank it cold as it was. I would say what I felt was "water? I was surprised at how good it tasted. I could hardly taste it before it tasted good or bad, so there was no way to evaluate it. It is not something I would willingly drink....
A few days later, I was told that this sake must be heated, so I warmed it up and drank it again, but this time it was not "hot water? It was not "hot water" at all. The umami of the rice and a hint of sweetness appeared, and it was quite good. It is definitely tastier warmed up.
It was the first time I had had a honjozo sake, and I learned a lot. I'd like to try a sake that tastes good warmed up every once in a while...even though it will be summer from now on...
Hi there, freelancer first generation man 😃.
I think I know what you mean 😆 Sakelabo Kids!
Hakkaisan is certainly a mountain that must be climbed at least once ⛰️ You might be right to start with Sandesi ‼️ It's a classic with good heated sake 🍶 😚.
Hi Jay & Nobby ^^^^!
~I don't use ~kids~ in a good way, it's a self-mockery 😅I honestly didn't think it was for me, but I learned a lot when I warmed up to it and found out that it works surprisingly well 😊.
