I don't remember the details because I drank a lot.
However, I didn't drink any alcohol that I didn't like at that time.
So it was delicious.
It didn't disturb the food. I have the impression that it was good as a food drink.
We managed to make it in time for summer sake.
It seems to be brewed with a high malic acid-producing yeast, so it has an apple aroma and a slightly sweet aftertaste with an apple sourness. But it is not too floral, so it went well with white liver and was very tasty.
Tasted very slightly chilled. Nose is full with lots of alcohol, some notes of butterscotch and banana. Flavor is full at first but rather mellow, tart melon and berry. Texture is smooth and thin. Finish is long and carries the aforementioned flavors through.
A more affordable table drink that would pair well with most things.
I had a bottle of spring sake in early summer 🤣.
My image of Mitsui no Kotobuki is that it is rather classical and easy to drink.
but this is something else 💦.
I like this one, it's a little bit sweet and still has a fizziness to it.
The taste is sweet, but not too sweet, and easy to drink.
The aroma and taste remind me of flowers, typical of spring sake👍.
Wish I had drunk it earlier 🤣.
Initial attack but surprisingly soft entry. Not too sweet, but crisp with a refreshing acidity. Yume Issen, Yamada Nishiki. Spinach, cherry tomato mayo and
Mitsui no Kotobuki Summer Jungin Cicala 720ml
Rice:Yume-Ichikkyo, Yamadanishiki
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 15
We paired it with raw tuna, mozuku vinegar, and island rakkyo.
It is a summer jungin, with a refreshing, yet rather core flavor.
I stopped by Izumiya again yesterday, and they are selling a lot of sake. The Tasake Yamahai Special that was available yesterday was sold out. Inside the store, you can have a corner and enjoy some snacks, and some customers are having a party 😄.
The third picture is Cape Chinen.
Lunch was tofusoba and shiryu😋 at Shuri Horikawa near Shuri Castle.
Good morning, @Mizuhashi!
Cape Chinen is beautiful✨.
I can see the clarity of the sea from the picture too 🐚.
I've only had the odd Mitsui no Kotobuki, so I'd love to try the regular one 😋!
I'd love to try the regular one too 😋🤤.
Manachie, of course, I think the basics are Orion beer and Awamori 😁.
I haven't heard why Izumiya in Chiba opened a restaurant in Okinawa, but there were many overseas customers yesterday 😁.
Mitsui Kotobuki today. Chicara.
The aroma is said to be fresh and apple-like due to the use of malic acid high producing yeast. Yes, fresh and fruity. Not too sweet, which is good.
Chicara is Italian for cicada.
