It was getting chilly and I wanted some heated sake, so I went to a liquor store. I was attracted by the label, which looked like it would warm up the sake, so I bought it. I started with it at room temperature. It was clean, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is easy to drink, clean and refreshing, with a bit of bitterness and astringency afterwards. As the name suggests, it is easy to drink.
Next, I tried it lukewarm. The flavor of the rice comes out and it's nice and mild. There is a slight bitterness at the end, but not enough to be bothersome.
Next, we tried it topped up with warm sake. The rice flavor is still there, but the bitterness and astringency are gone. It can be served at any temperature. We had it with bonito tataki and wakasagi tempura. It was delicious.
Drank at Izakaya Tori-ichi in Nakayama
Bubbly, sweet, a little sour.
Sweetness and sourness disappear slowly.
It's good, I like it.
I like that it has a stronger flavor than the Haneya I had a while ago.
It was delicious last year, so it will be again this year 🍂.
First of all, I had it at room temperature.
The aroma is citrusy, with a touch of rummy.
When you drink it, you can clearly feel the chili shuwa on your tongue! It has a freshness even though it is an autumn harvest.
The umami and the sweetness of the rice spread out and disappear with a sizzling sound.
The dryness increases when cooled. It is crisp and clear with no chili. Quite clear and sharp on the palate.
Try heating it up: ♨️
The atmosphere at room temperature is exactly as it is, no unpleasant parts at all, soft and sweet rice.
I like it at room temperature, where you can enjoy the sizzling mouthfeel and the sweetness of the rice wafts softly through the air!
Kamo Kanehide Junmai Suru Gentle Warmed Sake
Rating 4.4
Rice: Koji: Omachi, Kake: Sake brewing rice, Polishing ratio: Koji: 60%, Kake: 65%, Alcoholicity: 15%, Sake degree: +1.0, Acidity: 1.5
As soon as you take a sip, you will feel the mildness from the moderate aging process, and the tautness and sweetness of the acidity will fill your mouth with a gentle and gentle feeling that will penetrate your heart. It has the fullness typical of Hiroshima's local sake, but is not too robust and refreshing, and is so delicious that you can't help but enjoy a second glass without hesitation. One of the most notable characteristics of this sake is its beautiful "return to warmth.
Even when warmed to lukewarm, the sake has no peculiarities and is easy to drink, and as the temperature drops, the flavor is not lost, but rather new flavors can be enjoyed. The first sip reveals a full flavor with a harmony of sourness and sweetness, and as it cools down a bit, a clean, dry, umami flavor emerges. Although it is a local sake from Hiroshima, it is characterized by its clean and beautiful flavor. It goes especially well with Japanese dishes such as seasonal grilled fish and simmered dishes. A well-balanced sake that gently accompanies and complements everyday meals.
Set at 46°C, orange juice with a gentle touch. Spicy and bitter.
Refreshingly sweet with a touch of acidity.
There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste.
I felt that the umami was more apparent when the wine was chilled rather than at room temperature.
drinking at home
Kamo Kanehide after a long time,
Last time it was Junmai Ginjo,
This time we chose the special junmai.
A little fizzy, dry and sharp,
I was satisfied with the different taste.
I enjoyed it very much 🫡.
It has a mild mouthfeel, with the flavor of rice and a slight sourness, but the aftertaste is clean and refreshing, and one does not get tired of drinking it. I wondered if such a delicious autumn harvest existed.
