This is a brand that left a lasting impression on me after drinking it heated at a yakitori restaurant in Tokyo a few years ago. I saw it by chance at a liquor store in Nara Station and bought it.
Sealed cold.
There is a freshness in the aroma that has a thick, raw yeast yeast yeast-like flavor.
On the palate, it tastes more like ripe melon juice than heavy and robust, with a strong dry finish.
As the brewer comments, it has a deep flavor but is light and easy to drink.
The acidity is moderate, so it would go well with meat dishes such as yakitori and dice steak.
I would like to drink it heated after letting it sit for a while.
The H30 brew was served hot.
It has a firm taste with acidity and depth. As expected of an old sake.
It is also very dry because it was heated up.
However, for being aged for over 5 years, it was surprisingly light and easy to drink 😊.
It's an aged sake from Sairyu.
What did we do in 2015 🤔?
I got it warmed up 🍶.
The aroma on the nose is slightly sweet with a hint of maturity.
The taste is complex with a little bit of sweetness and amino acids.
I think it is still too early for my young taste buds.
I drank a unaged or unpasteurized Soriryu once upon a time and it was delicious and sweet like Shinkame's unpasteurized sake.
I want to drink that again🤔.
Thanks for the food 🍶.
Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo. I like Soriryu. I saw on the brewer's website that it has a mellow and spicy taste. I went to the brewery the other day and brought back a bottle of last year's Ichikatsu. I wonder if it's close to what you said it tasted like. I'm looking forward to drinking it 😊.
Good evening Peco 🍶.
Is there a fire-brewed one 💦?
I wonder what I drank 🤔.
There are almost no stores in Tokyo that sell Soriryu that needs to be refrigerated, right?
I guess I'll have to go back to Nara to drink some more 😊.
I think it is called "Ryo" because it is easy to drink after being watered down to 14 degrees.
Naturally, it is colored. It is not quite yellow.
The aroma is also mature. Banana, apricot, black tea, mushroom, cedar. Maybe even some white beans?
Light enough to be cool and easy to drink at room temperature. Very moderate sweetness. The acidity is relatively strong and the astringency gives it volume. However, the umami that can be felt even at room temperature makes this sake special. It is light but has a strong presence.
Warm it up.
The deep, earthy flavor develops and is indescribably delicious. It is not assertive, but has a strong presence.
It would be better to drink it at room temperature than to warm it up badly. If you want to warm it up, do it well. I hope this light, matured sake will spread more and more. Delicious.
The harmony between the gentle umami of rice and acidity spreads pleasantly on the palate. It has a dry finish with a soft taste. It can be enjoyed with meals at a variety of temperatures, including chilled, room temperature, and lukewarm.
5/10
This is my first time drinking Sairyu.
The label is distinctive and makes me think it is a brewery that makes a special kind of sake.
This one is said to be a dry sake, but it is a bit special.
It was a sake with a variety of flavors.
It was a bit smoky and had a yogurt-like flavor.
I thought it would have been better to warm it up.
I'll do that next time.
