Impression Full-bodied, robust, umami type
Sake that seems heavy from the moment you smell it.
It is a new unfiltered unpasteurized sake with a lot of rice flavor.
However, I almost got KO'd when I ordered the first shot without knowing it (lol).
I would pair this with grilled fish or something punchy later in the meal.
The characteristic caramelized bitterness is good.
It's great cold, but it's great warmed up!
but it is great warmed up!
Not just warmed up to calm down
But it has power!
It's full of rice flavor!
It's delicious!
Today I got the victory commemorative shiomai and it's Monday and I'm having sake 🍶.
This is my first brand. Great name 👀.
The aroma has the sourness of Yamahai and Namaho sake.
It has a spicy and tasty flavor that hits you in the mouth.
I was scared of the sake degree of 14, but it is not as spicy as I thought it would be.
When it is heated up, the spiciness mellows out and the umami is more pronounced. It is delicious with shioumai and tochiai (fried tofu). The alcohol content is over 17 degrees, so please drink it in moderation today: ☺️
Izumo - Shimanami Kaido - Takamatsu (9)
Since we were going all this way? We left the Shimanami Kaido with our first and second sons and headed for Takamatsu.
On the way to Takamatsu, we had udon noodle lunch. While trying different kinds of udon on the way to Takamatsu
Takamatsu is my wife's hometown, but I haven't been there for years.
(My wife does go there, though.)
In Takamatsu, my wife's mother, brother, brother's child, and I went to a sake bar 🍶 after having yakiniku and curry udon.
(Mom went home first).
First, of course, Kagawa sake!
Etsukaijin
Clear and crisp
Soft sweetness
Delicious 😋.
☀️
A cup of coffee at a soba noodle shop I wandered into 😄.
The color is slightly amber.
It has a sweet taste reminiscent of nutty 🥜 and is not too thick.
It's a little bit sweet, but not too thick.
Classical style, but not heavy and easy to drink.
I couldn't take a picture of the bottle so I borrowed it from the internet: 🙇♂️
Jurian, good evening 🌙.
Thank you for your comment 🙏.
Etsukaijin is amazing✨ isn't it 😳
I love soba so I wander into soba restaurants but it seems my sense of smell is subconsciously working 🤣.
A brand that feels like it's made of rice.
It has a complex taste, but not at all unpleasant.
It is a brand that is rumored to change its taste every year, so I am looking forward to drinking it next time!
