It's been a while since I've posted!
It's not that I haven't been drinking, but I've been so busy with my personal life that I haven't been able to post anything 💧.
The lingering summer heat is easing up and it's starting to feel more like autumn, so I wanted to drink hiyaoroshi (Japanese sake) and bought some.
It is soft, sweet, and a little bit crisp with a lingering scent of summer!
I'm enjoying it today with shishamo fish.
Not much sweetness, more of a bitter taste,
more astringent than tasty? But it's a totally good one.
Sourness? Full-bodied?
If you drink it with a meal, it will drown out everything and you can drink it easily.
Kamo Midori Honjozo
May 28, 2022
This Okayama brewery brews its own sake with rice from its own rice fields. When we previously tasted Takebayashi, we felt it was a sake for warming up, and this honjozo also has a solid, mature aroma that would look great warmed up. When served cold, it has a light sweetness, followed by an acidity that pulls it through the palate, leaving it full-bodied. When heated, the sweetness and richness increase, and the acidity and umami are both enhanced. This is a perfect local honjozo sake, a perfect accompaniment to a meal.
It tastes best when warmed to high temperature. At first I felt it had a peculiar taste, but as I drank more of it, I didn't mind. The high alcohol content makes it very drinkable.
I went into a nearby liquor store that I had been curious about for the first time and bought some sake. I came here to buy sake, but I also had a chat with the owner's grandmother. I feel connected to the people through the sake and enjoy the local sake. It was junmai sake, so it was richer than the last sake I drank, but it was a good taste.
I wonder what I should buy at that liquor store next time!
