Curry and Pairing Sake (1)
Chochin was chosen as the first sake to pair with curry for a classic taste.
Cold sake
Moderate aroma
Light in the mouth, but personally I think it is very dry.
Tingling sensation after passing the throat rather than dryness.
Characteristic dryness and slightly voluminous rice flavor lingering on the palate
Fruity aroma but very hot.
It was very fruity and fiercely hot, but when paired with snacks, it was refreshingly dry.
However, it is very spicy! I guess it's typical of Chochin.
This is by far the most richly mellow and umami-tasting sake from the Chochin Sake Brewery. The first impression when you take a sip is a slight stimulation on your tongue, followed by a gorgeous sweetness and a powerful, extractive flavor of Yamada-Nishiki from Tokushima Prefecture.
It is delicious with the full flavor of rice!
I drank Chochin Gold and Pink last week, but this one is the most popular.
It has a beautiful part, but it also has a complex flavor with Omachi-like qualities.
It will be Chochin's Junmai 60 Gohyakumangoku 🍶.
Junmai 60 also has a Hachitan-nishiki version, which is easily recognizable by the sticker as shown in the third photo.
The first aroma is slightly sweet.
In the mouth, it has a dignified and beautiful sweet flavor that is typical of Gohyakumangoku.
The sake has a beautiful quality, and the rice seems to be melting.
The sweetness expands further when it is heated up in a lenght and it is also delicious.
This Gohyakumangoku is one of the sweetest in Chochin's newspaper series.
However, for some reason, the sake degree, which is always listed on the label, is not listed for this Junmai 60 🤔.
I don't think it's negative by any chance.
Conclusion: Chochin is delicious 😤.
Yesterday's omiyage.
Yamadanishiki, Omachi and Hachitanishiki.
Sweet aroma.
The spiciness starts in the mid-palate, and then the richness comes in at the end.
When served cold, the aroma is caramel and red apple.
The mouthfeel is sticky sweetness and richness like mirin (sweet sake).
To be frank, it is too thick to drink.
When lukewarm, the aroma is all caramel.
It has a strong sweetness and a sour aftertaste.
When heated, it smells like amazake, and even though it is very hot, the alcohol smell is not that strong.
The mouthfeel is light sweetness and sourness.
It is definitely better when it is warmed up, and it may even be better if it is heated up to the fullest.
