Fuku Chitose, which brings good fortune.
Purchased at Marugoto Nippon in Asakusa.
This place has a good selection of sake, especially one-cup sake, which comes in handy on business trips.
It's a solid Yamahai. I decided that it should be heated, so I boiled it in hot water.
The sweetness of the sake came in easily and made me feel relieved.
Fresh and fruity aroma.
The soft taste of rice can be felt, and the aftertaste is acidic and sharp, with a dry feel.
The light flavor makes it easy to drink.
4.5
An interesting sake made with Koshihikari rice and wine yeast.
Polishing ratio of 90%, the same as white rice, and alcohol content of 12%.
It is milky and the rice is sweet.
The moment it enters the mouth, the acidity spreads and leaves the nose, creating a pleasant sensation.
It has a mature and powerful flavor, so you can drink it with fatty food and not be defeated.
Cold Sake ★★★
The color, aroma, and taste of this junmai sake are all wine-like. It has a refreshing impression and a strong acidity that lingers in the aftertaste. No bitterness or sweetness. The taste is too much like wine, so it did not suit me as a non-wine drinker.
Tsuruga souvenir (for myself 😆)
One of a set of 4 bottles I bought at a liquor store. Four heavenly kings?
It's a very plain one! Fukui" was on the package, but what are you talking about? Fukui is not sober at all! (my own comparison).
Anyway, I'll start with a cold sake 😙🍶💕!
Aroma that seems to have a complex flavor.
The mouthfeel is smooth and easy to drink, and the acidity comes through.
The taste is a little bit sweet and lingers on the back of the tongue.
The bitterness is definitely noticeable, but once it passes through, it becomes a nice accent.
I think it would be a good sake to drink with something.
I had it with meatballs with sweet and sour sauce (which I wanted to try), but I think it would be a good sake for Chinese dishes, hors d'oeuvres, fatty food, etc. I would like to try the other half with warmed sake.
I'm going to try heating up the other half....
Wait a while. (I'll wait a while....
So, my impression after heating it up.
Mmmm! This is delicious. ☺️
The acidity is rounded out and the umami is soft yet thick and happy 💕.
It was a delicious sake with a delicious flavor that will keep you happy for a long time, just like the phrase "May your happiness continue for a thousand years.
The mouthfeel is light with a sense of maturity in its umami and acidity.
It has a strong flavor followed by an acidic aftertaste that will allow you to enjoy it with strong dishes without losing out.
We tasted it and it was delicious.
It is a junmai wine, so it really is like a white wine.
When the bottle was opened, it had a strong acidity, but on the second and third days, it gradually lost its edge and mellowed out, making it even more enjoyable 🍸✨.
