The common denominator is a clean, smooth sake with a slight greenish smell like barley or bamboo. It's a Junmai Ginjo, but it has a soft aftertaste that retains the flavor of the rice.
Wakatakeya is a sake that is supposed to be drunk at room temperature.
Good evening.
I live in Fukuoka, but I haven't had a drink at Wakatakeya yet.
I've been wondering about it for a long time.
I'm going to try it next time.
The sake is brewed by "Toroki Shouten", a sake brewer who was involved in growing the rice and brewing it together with Wakatakeya Sake Brewery. I got it as a sign of support 😊
Is it what's called a light, dry taste? It had a faintly sweet aroma, but the sip was refreshingly watery!
The flavor and bitterness come out on the palate.
I was drinking it with cream cheese as an entrée, but it doesn't get in the way, so it's probably just right for a mid-meal drink 😊.
