They only sell it for two months at the end of the year.
They polish the rice to 55 per cent and use a variety of rice. That's what special junmai is all about, isn't it? It is bottled at low temperature without heating. It was a luxurious time with new sake. I finished it before I could think about how it tasted.
I checked online to see how they are making rice for such a delicious sake.
Drunken Whale has been making their own rice since 2018. In 2022, they will start making sake using their own rice.
Since this special junmai sake will not be made with rice grown in their own fields, we look forward to another encounter.
Purchased at liquor store in front of Yume Town in Onga Town
Drink cold
Colorless, clear and weak
Firm ginjo aroma
Full-bodied with a sense of weight on the palate.
It does not give the impression of being aged at all.
After a while, the taste wears off quickly.
The dryness is weak.
I don't like the taste of sake after the fall season because it gives the impression of aging, but this sake has no such impression, only pure umami.
Warm it up to lukewarm.
The taste spreads further and is very good.
The taste does not become blurred even if it is heated up.
My first visit to Kochi Prefecture since I started keeping track of my apps.
It was the end of November and I wanted to pair it with sashimi, so I chose drunken whale.
You can usually find drunk whale in supermarkets, but I went to a local sake shop and bought a bottle of sake!
Tokujun Nama-shu (freshly pressed sake)
I bought some sashimi at Kadokami Gyorui and bought some KP!
Ahhhh, this crisp and dry sake!
Of course it goes well with it!
Chill it and finish with acidity and a tangy aftertaste!
Perfect!
If you drink it by itself before going to bed, the change in spiciness from the delicious rice flavor is also very tasty!
Next, I'm going to have bonito for dinner!
