Here are some more sakes from the "SENDAI Sake Fest!" hosted by Sake no Kawashima on May 25th 🍶.
Continued too much ☝️
Next up was another sake from the Shinkame Brewery (probably a first for me).
I've never had a chance to try their famous sake...
The names of sake breweries often have "crane" and "turtle" in them...
I guess they have been closely related to Hare (a festival), good luck, prayer, and faith since the olden days.
After such a long time, I had a cup of sake.
I can hardly remember what it tasted like when I got here... 🌚.
My apologies 🙏.
I hope I will have another chance to taste and drink it this time...
I couldn't stand still and went to Kamikame no Yakata after I got a 20 years aged Hikoson at a famous store in Urawa 😂.
There was a 9 year old one and I didn't hesitate to buy it 💖I kept it warm that night and tried it at ♨️
The nutty aroma of ripeness and the spread of umami and sweetness is a big hit 🥜.
It's not fluffy, but it's a big bang 💥 but not too dry and gorgeous 🤤 so you want to drink it over and over again.
I wish I knew about heated Shinkame earlier 🥺.
It is said to have been aged for three years, although this is not emphasized up front. The firm flavor typical of Saitama sake is matched by the matured caramel aroma.
It is not the type of sake with a gorgeous aroma, but the aroma of green bamboo and honeysuckle is well balanced with the junmai-like rice flavor.
Green bamboo, honeysuckle, lime, Kamishinko, apricot jelly, caramel
