This sake is a nostalgic sake that I used to drink a lot when I was a student. p
It is a sweet sake with a wonderful mouthfeel and a unique, gorgeous aroma that is different from the ginjo aroma.
The aroma is not unpleasant, so it is a very tasty sake that you can enjoy sipping on forever.
Yesterday, I went to Kinugawa - Utsunomiya for my last trip this year! It was a short trip as I had a drink in the evening ahead of me, but I enjoyed ♨️🥟 again👍!
When the bottle is opened, it has a sweet and gentle aroma of grain and sugarcane type.
The smooth mouthfeel and the sugar-based, sinking sweetness are in tune with the delicious taste of dumplings. The taste was pleasantly salty and refreshing, and it reset the oil ✨.
I will visit again next year 👋
(*P.S. I mistakenly uploaded the lemon milk I drank on the Shinkansen in October. Sorry)
Husband: found a label that didn't look like sake and bought the jackets! 👀.
We first drank it cold and it tasted mellow and dry, not what the jacket said it was. I thought, "This is it!" So I heated it up and it was spot on! I had it with bread and cheese, which was also good 💪 Personally, I thought it went very well with hot sake and cheese while sipping on it! Delicious 🎊
It is a slightly dry and mellow type of sake. It is characterized by a refreshing taste with a delicious acidity.
