It was yellowish in color, quite dry, and when you take a sip, it goes right through your nose but leaves a strong presence in your throat, THE sake. As a person who likes ginjo-style sake....
Slightly sweet, light and easy to drink.
It is easy to match with any food, so it is quite good as a food sake. ☺️
The photo shows it paired with grilled mackerel, but we also tried it with tempura and oden, and it matched all of them👍✨.
I was curious about this sake because it was introduced as a sake that goes well with raw oysters in a certain anime "Mimi-shimbo". The anime depicted it as having no fishy smell when paired with raw oysters, but I wondered if a sake with such a strong aroma and taste would really go well with raw oysters.
This is a Kanazawa limited edition label obtained on a recent trip to Hokuriku!
It's getting colder and darker sakes are getting warmer. We are ready to open the bottle 👍.
When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is fragrant and deep, with hints of soy sauce, miso, herbs, and burnt oak.
The mouthfeel is dry with a slight roundness. The mouthfeel is dry and slightly rounded, with a refreshing acidity that spreads out in a flash. The astringent taste is tightened up and the umami of rice swells up.
The full-bodied flavor of fermented seasonings and grains. It has body but is well-balanced and delicious ✨.
It is still a great sake that you can't go wrong with!
Of course I will enjoy it warmed up and take my time with it 😋.
It was served hot. The manager of the restaurant I usually go to insisted that I have it hot. It was delicious. But I don't know how to drink hot sake, so I thought I'd like to drink cold sake as well and taste various kinds of sake.
So I quietly popped some on the table and had some cold sake, which was dry.
