We had it warmed.
Gentle rice flavor, gentle genmaicha (brown rice tea) with soup stock added + a hint of corn tea
Aftertaste: soft and pleasant.
Twisted umami: The lower the temperature, the stronger the twisted aroma and umami of old sake becomes.
Hakuro Wakamizu Junmaishu
Junmai-shu made with 100% Aichi Wakamizu, aged for three years.
Brewed in Tokoname, Chita Peninsula, known as the brewing peninsula.
Kyokai No. 7 yeast, Masumi yeast.
The store where I bought this, other sake also has a lot of No.7 yeast, which is kind of strange.
The appearance is a slightly dark golden yellow.
This is the first time I have smelled old sake, but I have never smelled anything like this in sake.
This is what I mean by a mellow, aged aroma.
Earthy smell of root vegetables such as burdock, fungus smell of shiitake mushrooms, strong acidity, and the roughness of homemade yogurt rather than sour cream.
Fruits and flowers are, dare I say it, pineapple and lime tree.
It smells like tea and coffee.
Too unknown and scary to drink...
The first impression of the taste is strong, full, round, and three-dimensional sweetness.
The acidity is more rounded and the bitterness is mild.
The balance is rich and thick.
The aftertaste is not that long, but very characteristic.
Lately, I've been reaffirming that "fresh" and "fruity" are my tastes.
And this one is right in the middle🎯!
And what's more!
The kingfish I got from Tokoname-man, who is famous on YouTube, was also great. I'm so happy.
A light nigori (nigori is a kind of rice wine) at Shiraoi. The label is so cute and heartwarming. How can it not be delicious?
Maybe this is the first time I've tasted Wakamizu rice.
It was fresh, tasty and exciting, but I don't remember the details because it's been too long since I drank it. I'll have to record it soon.
I saw it at a supermarket in Tokoname and couldn't resist buying it. Sweet, spicy, sour, piquant. The balance is good!
I knew Shiraoi was the place to be.
Osaka Takashimaya] The 7th Takashimaya Sake Festival⑰.
Shiraoi's booth.
Shiraoi often tasted.
◉Shiraoi Junmai Ginjo Summer Usu Nigori Nama Sake
This is a limited edition. The aroma is subdued, with a refreshing citrusy taste. The nose is subdued, with a refreshing citrusy note. The aftertaste is sweet and bitter.
◉Shiraoi Derakara Junmai Unfiltered Nama Sake
The acidity is sharp and clean. The taste is clean and not spicy.
◉Shiraoi Wakamizu Junmai Hiyoroshi
The taste is very good, with a good balance between the two.
The taste is surprisingly full-bodied, with a deeper flavor than I have had in the past.
Shiraoi (Hakuro) is a sake that has been available here at Fukurokuju for a long time.
Recently, it has also been available at Noe.
This retro label is a first for us!
The manager said this one is quite spicy too!
It is indeed spicy on the palate, but as you sip it slowly, you can feel the sweetness of the rice at the end!
I found this one tastier than the dry version of Bikyuu.
After the dry sake comparison, what's next?
By the way, I ordered my first Genghis Khan dish!
