On a business trip to Tokyo.
I forgot to take a lot of pictures...
I had a glass of the "Sake of the Year", which was a bit dry after a strong sweet sake, but it went down smoothly and was very tasty.
I ordered this sake because I had never had this brand before. I looked up the brewer and found that it was Asakai from Iwate, which I had heard of.
When you take a sip, you first taste the spiciness, then the umami of the rice, and the aftertaste is clean and refreshing.
I drank a Junmai Dai-Harakuchi, which I don't usually drink!
At first I thought it was nothing! But then it was spicy in the mouth!
I️ was surprised at how spicy it was as it went down my throat!
I am still learning about spicy sake 😁.
