Bringing a souvenir to my parents' house
It is Miyamanishiki grown in Kawaguchi Natto's own rice field.
It has a strong umami flavor and is very dry 😋.
Very easy to pair with food ✨.
Sashimi, oden, pizza, gratin, potato soup, you name it 👍!
Next year, I'm going to compare the wines!
We visited for lunch on the wife's birthday. Drinking outside in the daytime was extraordinary and very delicious. The second glass was a junmai sake from Wataya Club. We enjoyed it to the fullest with the food.
Kawaguchi Natto" Sasanishiki hiyaoroshi from the Wataya brewery in Kurihara, Miyagi Prefecture.
Plenty of umami and good sharpness as expected👍.
This is a good sake ❗️
The brewer recommends pairing it with Chinese food.
Since I am in charge of today's dinner, I decided to go with Chinese food.
Wok-fried eggplant🍆, potato🥔, and deep-fried tofu,
Stir-fried tomato 🍅 and egg 🥚,
cucumber with salted malt.
Good evening Jay & Nobby😊.
Kawaguchi natto is a must if you see it!
The "Wataya" brand is also a beautiful, calm and balanced sake, but Kawaguchi Natto gives the impression of being full of flavor.
Wataya" impressed me at Kawaguchi Natto before.
On my last trip to Tochigi, I came across a summer sake type this time, so I got it!
When I opened the bottle and poured it out, it was crisp and unobtrusive, like a gentle breeze.
It is light on the palate and has a refreshing lightness, just like the summer sky on the label.
It has a refreshing taste derived from the spiciness and acidity, with a firm core of junmai's gentle and rounded flavor.
Despite the differences, it has something in common with my favorite "Akagisan," and is a delicious and easy-to-drink wine!
This refreshing taste is sure to shine during a meal. Summer seasonal foods come to mind 🤤.
A bottle suitable for the continuous heat wave!
I would like to try a variety of seasonal sakes, which are not often seen at Wataya👍.
Cotton store's summer sake: ☀️
It has a strong acidity and an unexpectedly strong bitterness.
Even when well chilled, it tastes warm.
It's not my favorite on its own, but it really comes into its own when paired with food 😳.
The acidity goes well with chicken oil 😭I bet this would go well with fried food too.
I don't mind the bitterness when it's a food wine, why 😅?
I went through the spring, summer, fall, and winter, and each one is unique. It's hard to predict the taste just from the information on the label. I wish you would send out your recommendations for dishes 😭
