Tokushima Prefecture Ume.
The note I made when I took the picture reminded me that I should have warmed the sake to lukewarm because it was so robust.
I remember now...notes are important....
The color is yellowish. Sake-like koji aroma. 🍶
In the mouth, there is a strong sense of rice sweetness, 🌾 acidity, and bitterness. The image of umami expands in the mouth. There is also a slight alcohol taste. If I may say so, the taste reminds me of elegant sakekasu or pickles made with sake lees.
Serve with sauteed chicken breast. The light chicken breast with the punchy taste of garlic and ginger underlines the sweetness and umami of the rice. I think it's delicious, but it may be a sake for different tastes. 😅

Tonight we will have #Asahi Wakamatsu Junmai Omachi from Naga-gun, Tokushima Prefecture.
It's a little sweeter than usual, but it's still delicious.
The more you keep putting it in your mouth, the more the umami seems to come out forever 😊.
It is darkly colored. It was probably stored at room temperature in the brewery, but I wonder if it gets this color after 21 years of brewing. Is the rice polishing higher than 70?
The aroma is complex but somewhat fruity. It has apple, apricot, earthy mushroom, and koji-like aroma.
The mouthfeel is soft even at room temperature, so one might be fooled into thinking it has 19% alcohol by volume. Is it really? The sweetness is hard to detect, but it is perceived as umami. It has a complex flavor, with bitterness from the Maillard reaction, umami, sweetness from the sake, and a slight acidity. It is very thick due to the alcohol, so it may be better to add water.
When warmed to lukewarm, the sweetness comes forward and envelops the entire sake, making it easier to drink and more easily recognizable than at room temperature. If the temperature is raised a little more, the alcohol flavor comes out too much.
This is difficult. There is definitely a temperature that tastes good, but it's pretty narrow. However, when you hit the right temperature, you can enjoy a taste like no other.
Fruity aroma like ripe banana.
The mouthfeel is full, with a rich flavor that spreads softly in the mouth.
It also has a sweetness like ripe fruit, and the sharpness from the mid-palate is not heavy at all.
The depth of the flavor is so satisfying that you will be sucked in forever!
Delicious!
Drinking out series
The first sip at room temperature gives the impression of a strong sake with a strong umami flavor. When heated, it becomes a round, easy-drinking sake with its umami flavor intact and its heaviness lifted.
It has a strong sake flavor, but I don't think it is that strong.
It can be enjoyed at room temperature.
I think it was the same with Chiketsuru.
I think it was the same with Chiketsuru, but I think it was also the case with Chiketsuru.
I think it's the same with Chiketsuru, but I think it's a yellowish, sour sake that expands its flavor when heated.
This is the type of sake I would recommend for warmed sake.
Nineteen degrees of alcohol!
It's a big hit, isn't it?
Drop a little water and crack a ball.
Mellow and nice!
It was even better after the second day.
It became tasty.
Allow a little time after pouring into a glass.
Yamamoto said it would be great with local wild vegetables.
but this one is great too!
That's how sake drinkers are.
When I stayed in Takamatsu, the innkeeper told me about it. Despite its mellowness, it is refreshing. It is heavy, but light. It is an interesting sake.
