It was on sale today and I went to buy it since I was there at the brewery. Last year's was delicious, so I decided to get this year's as well.
This year's is almost clear in color and tastes dry. It smells like cemedine. I think last year's sake was better than this year's. I think I need to warm it up to lukewarm (they recommend warming it up or keeping it at room temperature).
I've been sober for a week, so it's sinking in.
Tanba Sasayama, pure rice with a refreshing taste of rice made with smooth underground water and rice suitable for sake brewing in the cold air of the Tanba Highlands'.
We opened a full bottle of Shugetsu Nama sake from Kariyaichi Shuzo, which had been preserved for a while while cooling in the fridge. It had a good texture with advanced maturity and was enjoyed with yakitori and snacks.
Purchased at a tasting
I had a hard time deciding which one to buy, so I decided to go with the Aruzoe Tsuki no Hyokuro.
It seemed the sweetest to me.
When I tasted it, I thought it was quite sweet, but I was more impressed by its citrusiness and acidity than its sweetness.
I personally prefer it at near room temperature.
It seems that Shugetsu Asoe is a special honjozo.
June's Ikoma Tasting was at Shudzuki!
I'll skip the ones I bought and the ones I drank in the past, but here's what I picked up!
As the name suggests, it is rich and has a gentle sweetness.
I think it becomes a little more refreshing when warmed up to lukewarm.
Personally, I enjoyed it at room temperature.
For some reason, this sake matched well with the Pakistani beans that came with the entrée 🤣.
Three year old aged sake liquor.
Newly released while the 10 year old one is also available.
It has a slightly higher alcohol content of 18.
It has a firm, dry mouthfeel.
It is not refreshing, has little sweetness, and is slightly sour.
You can also detect a little of the heavy aroma often found in old sake, making it a good value.
First Shugetsu served warm. It has a refreshing mouthfeel. Soft and light with a sweet umami flavor and good sharpness.
I left the sake to the waiter, so I wondered if he had matched it with the grilled chicken thigh (4th photo).
This is a limited edition sake with a hanging mouth made without filtration.
It has a very fruity taste with a clean aftertaste, and although it is unfiltered, it disappears easily.
The mouthfeel is filled with the sweet aroma of sake lees. It is delicious!
