Meet the Asahi Wakamatsu pine tree. Oh my, here you are!
It's been a long time since I had a drink. I thought it tasted like this. It certainly had a caramel-like taste.
Oh, no! I thought, "You've changed in the little time I've seen you. That's weird, I've changed!
I really want to drink some fresh Asahi Wakamatsu sake, but I may never see you again... tears.
Gakugeidaigaku, to the next restaurant.
Sake from Tokushima, Asahi Wakamatsu.
It's a solid, refreshing sake, but it tastes like it's got a certain flavor.
Traditional? The label is also nice.
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.
