This sake rice is called "Kaiho-Shinko", which is descended from Kame-no-o. I wish I could give it a nicer name (lol), but the bitterness that spreads after the freshly cooked aroma escapes your nose. Junmai Ginjo from Tohoku, reminds me of New Year's Day spent at my grandpa's place in Yamagata ♡.
We attended a year-end party for parents of my second son's high school club!
Although there are some rank restrictions, we enjoyed drinking all the sake we could drink 😆.
The 2nd glass
Wadarai Dry Junmai
This is also a brand I've never had before!
Although it is dry, it is surprisingly fruity!
It has a clean and crisp taste, so it went in easily.
It has a simple taste that is not too strong, but it has a nice finish that makes you think, "Ah, sake tastes good!
I paired it with the mackerel sushi I had on hand for a sumptuous dinner at Izu. I don't think a ginjo-shu would have matched the taste.
The brand "Wadarai" was launched as a limited distribution product for about 50 local sake specialty stores nationwide.
A bottle went down smoothly.
This is a repeat!
I looked at the library and found something I forgot to include. This is the last sake I drank on my trip to Yamagata. It was the first time for me to drink it, and it has a simple and strong flavor that is typical of Kame-no-o. It is an honest sake and delicious. On the way home, I stopped by the brewery and bought a bottle of the same sake.
