真名鶴純米 ワンカップ
一本義 仙介🇺🇦
This is also a sake that I drank at my parents' house on New Year's Eve and now it is out of the warehouse.
It is a sake from Ono City, Fukui Prefecture.
I guess it comes from the Managawa River that flows through Ono City.
Perhaps because I grew up near the Managawa River and the river is mentioned in the school song of my alma mater, I feel a great nostalgia for the name Manazuru.
I am grateful to my parents, who stocked up a lot of sake for their son, an artless, gluttonous, drunkard who had no filial duty to his parents.
(From the notes I took while I was in a stupor that day)
Rich astringency, rich sweetness.
Sake with a solid structure.
It is a very typical sake.
It is a strong sake that will not be outdone by soba noodles from a famous local soba restaurant, sashimi from Netria Kaika, or cream cheese.
In contrast to the unexpected modernity of the Genpei that preceded it, this is a very rustic, thick sake. It is a perfect sake to drink while enjoying New Year's Eve buckwheat noodles served at a famous local restaurant owned by a friend of my mother's.
Manazuru Shuzo, the brewer of this sake, has made a name for itself in recent years with its modern sake with an eye on overseas markets, but it is this thick, rich sake that is the starting point.
I drank all five breweries in the Oku-Echizen area around New Year's, and it was interesting to see the different flavors in each one.
