19 degrees.
A drink that gives the feeling of strong alcohol rather than the smell of alcohol.
The terrible Japanese is charming.
Yes, it's lovely.
Anyway, it's a throw-away, jammy sake that plays on the palate and after you drink it, your impression is like, please work on my liver.
When you get used to it, you want to say thank you for this too, but it's like you might be too adventurous with the stones, but you like it too much to stop.
Yes, once I remember, I want to do this kind of work.
I want to do a job like this. Rather than tailoring that will be liked by everyone, I want to do a job that I can't stop doing because I have to do this.
Ah, I regret and thank God that I drank my favorite sake again even though I had taken two days off from drinking.
Purchased at a supermarket in Karuizawa. I did not expect much...but I experienced the power of Nagano sake🍶...aroma: a faint sweet aroma of rice, a clear sweet bitterness...the bitterness is just right and does not bother me...it is delicious😋...but it is also delicious😋 when drunk as is... ...but it really comes into its own as a food sake! It's a very beautiful sake that doesn't interfere with food 🍶♪ I'm sipping it with a side dish of inada I caught in Sagami Bay 😋♪ This is delicious 😋♪....
Oh, Annikie!
What is this fatty and fatty sashimi?
I couldn't help but google it, but it's called "inada" there.
I'm sure you can get it for fishing. I'm sure you also ride ......, right?
I'm actually halfway through the ditch.
sake-run-san It was a delicious 😋inada...it is the child of yellowtail......the name may be different depending on the region. I am a poor person with many hobbies like fishing🎣biking🏍️running🏃and drinking🍶.
Asamatake is a sake that I have been paying attention to recently. I am not a big fan of sake made with flower yeast because the aroma is too strong in a way, but the owner recommended it to me as a beautifully brewed sake, and I thought I would give it a try if it was Asamatake.
The nose is quite strong, with a honey-like sweetness mixed in with the ginjo aroma. It is made with cosmos flower yeast, but I don't understand what it is called 🌸cosmos🌸, but on the contrary, it is an aroma that is not strange to me.
The taste is quite reasonable for the aroma. It has a good balance of umami and alcohol, but not too strong, and it has acidity and a nice sharpness.
Perhaps it is characteristic of flower yeast, but as the temperature begins to rise, there is a sense of slight bitterness.
It was a flower yeast sake, but I personally felt no discomfort and enjoyed it. ☺️
Karuizawa Hatsuchi City Yard purchase, 2nd bottle.
Asamatake Junmai Ginjo 100% Hitogochi from Nagano Prefecture
Refreshing and a little fruity. Some acidity and bitterness.
The aroma is subdued (or is it "mild" in the sake sense?). The taste is light, with a hint of water.
I thought it could use a little more umami.
But when I paired it with Japanese food, I felt more of the aroma and the umami of the rice. It is a wonder.
Maybe it was because it was freshly removed from the vegetable room that I felt it was so light.
In my opinion, it tastes better when it is at room temperature.
I was so impressed with Asamatake that I finally found a store that sells it. ☺️ I was a little disappointed to see it again in the fall because I had the impression that it was sweet and refreshing, but I was more pleased to find it and bought it.
I followed the recommendation and served it at room temperature. The aroma is mellow and sweet, like freshly cooked rice. It has a slightly sweet taste on the palate, and its clean structure is delicious even after drinking it again.
Now that I have found a distributor, I wonder if I can buy the new sake next time 😊.
Drink cold
Slightly cloudy white
Very mild aroma
Tastes like old-fashioned sake with woody nuances
Taste quickly fades away, followed by a slight tingling dryness.
Strange that it tastes more intense when served with snacks
I missed out on buying this sake last year and was able to obtain it for the first time this year. I had high expectations for this sake because it is one of my favorite brands.
When I poured it into the glass, a moderate aroma of maturity rose to the surface. It has an elegant aroma of rice, like that of koshinko, and a strong smell of alcohol, even though it is a pure sake (17%).
The taste is mildly sweet and spicy. When cold, it is refreshing and crisp, and you will never get tired of drinking it.
As the temperature rises slightly, it becomes more mature and even more delicious.
For snacks, we served it with stewed pork cubes. It matched the matured taste of autumn sake.
