The most important event in my own sake topic this winter was the introduction of the sake heater "Nonbee Yokocho".
I've always been a fan of heated sake, especially in the fall and winter, but the convenience of being able to freely control the temperature of heated sake on the table is wonderful, and I'm enjoying heated sake at different temperatures once again.
Aibaya Sake Shop, which appears in the recommendation comments of the "Yumbei Yokocho" advertisement, recommends the Rice Hyakudara Junmai Sake.
I've had it at room temperature for a while, and while it's not flashy, it has a rich flavor and is deeply delicious lukewarm, making it a good evening sake.
Hiraccio-san, good morning 😃Hiraccio-san taught me how to warm up sake in our house too, in the Nonbe Yokocho, so it's easier now 😊It was cold yesterday, so I enjoyed heating up a variety of sake that had already been opened 😀.
Good morning, Harry Sakeboy.
It was cold yesterday, suitable for heating up.
Yes, it is convenient to heat up opened bottles of sake a little bit at a time.
It's still going to be cold at night until the end of next week, so we can enjoy heated sake.
This is the rice 100 bales recommended by the Aibaya liquor store mentioned in the recommendation comment of the advertisement in "Nobee Yokocho".
This liquor store carries a variety of brands (including Tsuru no Tomo!). The comments on their website have a lot of flavor.
I was curious because I read that the pure rice wine of Yone Hyakubawara is best when served lukewarm with salted squid, so I got it at the NESPAS Niigata Pavilion in Omotesando.
At room temperature, the flavor is hidden, but lukewarmed, the flavor is simple, nourishing, and full of flavor.
It is a good evening sake that can be drunk in a relaxed manner.
Good evening, Mr. Deer God.
I introduced "Nobe Yokocho" at the right time.
It's not very elegant, but it's simple for one person, quite convenient, and it's in operation almost every day. It's cold again tonight, so I'll have some warmed sake when I get home 👍₋♨️.
Rice polishing rate 50%.
It's clean and dry, but you can taste the rice flavor and mildness along the way. At the end, you get a strong sense of alcohol. I felt the taste would have been better if I took it out of the fridge and gave it a little time to mellow out and taste better.
At the Hosoya store in Koriyama
We mainly sell Fukushima sake.
A little bit of Niigata and Aomori too...
The owner was very knowledgeable about the industry and gave us a lot of background information.
I had never had this Rokuroji before, and I bought it because I heard that it was different from the Niigata pale dry sake.
It has a faint scent of ginjo and a strong sense of alcohol in the mouth!
A little bit of acidity and rice flavor.
It turns into bitterness and snaps off quickly.
The impact of alcohol is too strong.
A taste of rice seems to be weak
Tonight, we had Niigata sake and Niigata edamame and corn as a side dish.
