The third go-around was Chochin's Bizen Oumachi.
The brewer's son was at the restaurant.
He was helping the restaurant, taking orders and serving food! He was helping the restaurant so much that I thought he was a waiter!
The first aroma was slightly sweet with a hint of nama-shu.
When you put it in your mouth, it has the sweet umami of Omachi with a slight astringent taste that finishes it off.
I forgot to take a picture, but the Kame-no-o that was served with the free-flowing sake was delicious this year, with a moderate bitterness.
Chochin is still delicious.
4.5/5
Slightly sweet, but full of savory flavor. Salted caramel, Brazil nuts, shiitake, hay. It’s nutty and earthy with a little bit of saline and acidity. The mushroomy flavor is really nice and creates an interesting combination with the sweetness.
Goes particularly well with some savory snacks.
