Very elegant Daiginjo. I think foreigners would like it in a wine glass or something.
Even though it is 17% alc, it doesn't make my throat dry up at all. It tastes super delicious when it is cooled down to the perfect temperature.
When asked, "Is there any other way you recommend to drink it? I was told "This is the best way to drink it.
I agreed.
On the Shinkansen returning to Tokyo from a trip back home.
This is a sake from the Amanohashidate area purchased at Kyoto station.
It has a low sake content and is very smooth to drink.
While traveling from Tottori to Kyotango, I saw a sign for a brewery and stopped by. Hakurei Shuzo.
When I tasted the sake, I found that this one had a better aroma than the Junmai Ginjo, so I decided to go for this one. However, I heard that they also make a variety of sweets, and I think they were more enthusiastic about marketing their products. I drank it cold and hot. It was easy to drink without any peculiarities. The aroma is better cold, but warming it up makes it even easier to drink.
Tax included 649 (300ml)
The other day I drank a bottle of Manai and said, "I've changed my perception of Hakurei! But come to think of it, Koda was not dry at all.
The gentle ginjo aroma that rises to the surface, the richness and sweetness that spreads slowly in the mouth. The lingering aftertaste is amazing.
