A warmed glass. The aroma of the rice is full, and the taste is thin, but the bitterness of the alcohol spreads. In the second half, it became boring.
Another glass at room temperature... The aroma is refreshing. First a sweet and then a dainty taste. A slight mellowness is perceived at the end.
This is a gem that I received as a hometown tax payment.
This is a return gift from Kijimadaira Village in Nagano. It is made from Hitogochi, a sake rice from Nagano. It has a juicy sweetness and rough acidity. It is good to drink with meat dishes and Chinese food.
By the way, 9,000 yen for 2 bottles of 900ml is very reasonable.
Purchased at the roadside station of the touring destination.
It is a heavy system.
Sweetness of rice and a little bitterness left in the mouth.
Cup sake is the best for dinner at a business hotel.
I got this from Kijimadaira village in Nagano as a hometown tax payment. It is made from Kinmon Nishiki, a unique sake rice in Nagano.
It has strong sharpness, but it has strong flavor and aroma. It is a good sake which can be served with meat.
(By the way, the price of 900ml x 2 is 9,000 yen, which is very reasonable.)
