I had to stay an extra night, so I went to my favorite place for dinner.
The manager said, "You've come at a good time, we've got six new kinds of sake today! He brought me this to start.
He brought me this to start off the evening.
It's from Hamakawa Shoten, the brewer of Bijou.
The label looks like Kochi!
The taste was crisp and dry, but fresh because it had just been opened!
My first drink was finished in no time!
Skepticism
Shintaro Junmai Shiboritate Nama Genshu uses Matsuyama Mitsui, a rice suitable for sake brewing, as the raw material and soft subterranean water from the Nahari River as the brewing water.
The sake brewed by Toji Akira Obara, who also served as assistant toji at the Drunken Whale Brewery, is not simply light and dry, but features a well-balanced flavor with acidity and umami in unison, and a crispness that is unmistakable.
It has the freshness that only new sake can provide, and it has an excellent balance of aroma, umami, and acidity.
The product is named after Shintaro Nakaoka, the captain of the Rikuentai who was active with Ryoma Sakamoto at the end of the Edo period.
Good morning, Tuna Fishing Boat. Thank you for your comment😊When I was in Shikoku for work, I used to get Kochi sake. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
I've been to this place every year before the Corona disaster ✈ I knew the name but I'm not sure if it's good or not 😳 I'll have to try it when I see it 😉.
Tuna Fishing Boat, I know we are talking about something other than sake, but Mutemuka, the company that makes Dabada Kiburi, also makes sake. The brand name of the sake is Mutemukan!
I've had Mutemukan before 😀 I remember it being pretty good 👍 I only knew the name of the Davada Kiburi, and I thought they made sake too😳. I'll try the Davada Kiburi too 😉.
It had a fresh apple flavor with a hint of banana.
The reputation says it's melon, but I didn't get that feeling.
It feels tingly or a bit schmoozy.
The alcohol taste lingers in the mouth a bit, and there is a nice balance of a refreshing sour aftertaste and a bit of rich sweetness.
I've recently come to wonder if this is what alcohol in raw sake is like.
To put it simply, it is a perfectly balanced sake.
When it is perfectly balanced, it tastes like water without any acidity or sweetness, yet it is robust.
It's like being thrown a straight 165km/h pitch right into the middle of the strike zone.
It's delicious☺️.
Drink it cold, sip it, oh! It's so good❗️
The slight schwattiness and sourness spreads refreshingly❗️.
The aftertaste is clear and the bitterness lingers for a long time...
It's delicious❗️.
The label of Takaoka Shintaro is also good❗️.
