Oh no, it's okay like this 🍶.
The presence of umami is combined with sourness and spiciness, and sublimated into richness (from the website🙄).
But it's like that, full-bodied 😚.
I've always wanted to try a classic sake set with oden!
It's great!
It is almost as refreshing as water in the mouth, but then you can softly taste the sweetness of the rice. However, the aftertaste is refreshing.
A sake that does not interfere with the taste of food.
Delicious. A super favorite.
Strong umami
It is like a proper sake.
The kind of sake you get at soba or eel restaurants when you order sake from a menu that only says "sake" on it.
A higher quality version of that kind of sake
This restaurant has Kenrishi.
This is the sake I was looking for this time!
My favorite sake is the fruity modern type, but for some reason I wanted to drink Kenrishi so badly!
Rich flavor, richness, and sharpness. Kooooooooo!
This was another delicious Kenrishi.
6.5 points (wife 5.5 points)
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic), brewer's alcohol
Rice Polishing Ratio: Undisclosed
Sake meter: Undisclosed
Silent when opened
No gassiness
Slightly tinged with a candy-like topknot
The slightly heavy aroma is the same as the top-rise aroma, with a moderate sweetness and a full-bodied rice flavor that spreads with a mild acidity.
It has a robust, classical feel, and is rich and delicious on its own with a sense of maturity, but it is better served with a solid meal.
It went well with grilled herring, marinated eggplant and steamed egg custard with udon noodles.
Kenbishi boasts a 500-year history. Mizuho Junmai is made by blending different aged sake like blended whiskey.
The caramel-like aroma and amber color of the sake may make one wince, but the flavor is rich and well-balanced with a pleasant aftertaste that is not overpowering. The taste is rich, but balanced without being cloying, and when heated up a little, it takes on a different spiciness.
The brewery's motto is "Keep the clock ticking," and this sake is quite different from the modern juicy sake, but that's good in its own way.
