Mellow, aromatic rice aroma.
When you drink it, it tastes a little like rum or baked sweet potato.
Round and thick rice flavor from the
Simple sweetness, full-bodied flavor.
With moderate acidity and bitterness.
The finish is refreshing for a mellow sake.
4/5 for my favorite.
Three kinds of Hokuriku sake comparison at HOKURIKU+.
The first one is Sanjoraku from Toyama.
The rice flavor is more robust than I expected, and it seems to be similar to Ishikawa's sake 🤔.
It has a classic taste and looks good warmed up!
San Shoraku from Oumachi, which I had not drunk yet.
I had high expectations for it since I had enjoyed the previous San Shoraku.
It had a unique acidity, as is typical of Yamahai,
The overall impression was that it was robust while having the umami of rice and the crispness of Oumachi.
This time, we did not warm it up, but rather enjoyed it cold or at room temperature.
This sake is best served with a meal.
It was also delicious,
Personally, I prefer the taste of Sanjoraku, which I drank earlier.
Refreshing to drink. The mild acidity enhances the flavor of the food well.
Due to the moderate sweetness and lingering aftertaste, you find yourself emptying your boar cup and slurping it down. Dangerous in a good way.
Kawasaki Kouminkaen Event!
First, Junmai Ginjo. A little bit peculiar.
The sake is easy to drink except for the sake made in the mountains! It seems to go well with meat!
The acidity typical of Yamahai comes first, and then the umami spreads from there. This sake is said to have the same 17% alcohol content as the first glass of Kenshin Hiyaoroshi, but you do not feel that much alcohol.
It has a freshness to it, but when drunk with pickles, the spiciness is stronger, making it a strange and tasty sake.
I drank it cold this time, but the description says that heating it up is also good, and I thought so. Next time I have the chance to drink it, I'd like to try it heated.
It has a gorgeous ginjo aroma. The palate is sweet and acidic, but soon it finishes with a generous umami, bitterness, and a spiciness from the high alcohol content.
It is delicious because it is a cohesive blend of fancy elements without any cloying taste. 😋😋😋😋
The sweetness and spiciness are medium. It has a good balance of umami acidity, sweetness and bitterness.
The lack of gassiness is surprising since it is a direct-drafted, unblended sake. It has a slight sense of maturity. It has been about 6 months since it was made, and the cork is soft, so it may have been drained.
It can be warmed to lukewarm.
It goes well with fried food and grilled meat as a food sake.
