The third drink is the first time I see you. I didn't know it was from Nada in Kobe. Although I am a local, I did not know that. It was a little sweet and a little strong, and tasted delicious. I was satisfied with the sweet and tasty type today.
Hakuisen's newest sake, Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake. This is the first sake of the year from the brewery, brewed with freshly squeezed junmai ginjo rice from Hyogo Prefecture, and bottled without any modification or filtration. The koji rice is HYOGO SAKE 85, one of the next generation sake rice recommended by Hyogo Prefecture, and the kake rice is ordinary rice produced in Hyogo Prefecture. It is said to have a gorgeous aroma and a fresh, umami flavor that swells in the mouth.
Sake rice: Koji rice: HYOGO SAKE 85, Kake rice: Hyogo rice, Polishing ratio: 60%, Yeast: undisclosed
Served well chilled ✨
Tingling sensation of gaseousness that is typical of nama sake. The aroma is soft and sweet 😆.
Slight bitterness and acidity are in harmony with the soft sweet aroma. This sake has a freshness that only freshly pressed sake can have 🤤.
The bitterness and acidity stayed until the end, and the rice flavor came through at the end!
I paired it with the Tsuri Aji Sashimi and Chikuwa Isobe Tempura 👍.
The thick meaty horse mackerel sashimi was fresh and delicious and went really well with the sake. The chikuwa isobe tempura was also hot and packed with flavor!
Read "kokosen". Is it so-called Nada sake?
It has a beautiful aroma that is understated, and a crisp aftertaste that retains the rich sweetness of nama-shu. It is the type of sake that complements food well.
Fresh rice juice!
The rice-like aroma spreads gorgeously on the palate.
The sweetness is quickly withdrawn,
The acidity and slight bitterness create a pungent taste.
Sharp outline.
Delicious.
4/5 stars for my taste.
Walking Brewery Tour Trip 15
Today's main destination is Izumi Sake Brewery.
I always pass by the brewery when I visit Kobe Shu-shin-kan in Fukuju, but I have never been able to visit because the brewery is closed on Saturdays and Sundays 🤣.
I was able to visit for the first time because they are open on Saturdays only during the winter season 😇.
We tasted Senzuke and Amber Izumi and compared them, but it was Amber Izumi that was more fruity 😀.
I had decided to buy only one bottle for my refrigerator, so I had a hard time deciding between Senzuke and Amber Izumi's light nigori... 🤣
Hi Yasubeyesan 🐦.
Kaorin-san and I toured sake breweries, and lots of them! It's a perfect way to wrap up the tour👍.
I want to visit this brewery 😻I went here on a Saturday and Sunday before and it was closed, so I'm going next year around this time 😁.
Good evening, Pon-chan 😀
It was a really enjoyable walk today with nice weather and a close view of the Rokko mountains 😀.
I also passed by Senzuke's several times, but it was closed on Saturdays and Sundays, but it seems to be open in December, which is good😇.
It's been a while since I heard that the rice was changed from Gohyakumangoku to Hyogo Sake85.
Of course, I bought it at Ikoma Sake Shop.
It is gorgeous, sweet and delicious. Slightly effervescent. Even though the rice has changed, Hibokuizumi is still as delicious as ever.
I can drink all of Izumi Sake Brewery's sake with peace of mind!
I think my tastes have changed a little since I started drinking sake, but I can still enjoy the same delicious sake and recommend it with confidence.
Good evening, Ponchan.
It has been 4 days since the bottle was opened and the gassy feeling has disappeared, but the graininess and miscellaneous taste has disappeared from the same day and it is now perfectly sweet and fruity 😋.
Thanks for the progress report, bouken 😊.
It still tastes good after 4 days, and the 4th day is sweet and fruity is a good sake 😻 I'll see if Takimoto has it next time I go there 😊.
