It has a wonderful balance of light nigorigo, cleanness, and umami!
I give it 5 stars as my favorite direction for a sake without much acidity.
I couldn't read the word "sozoma" (^_^;)
This time it is Soma no Tengu.
This sake is from Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture.
Lightly chilled.
It is a silky, slightly cloudy sake.
The top aroma is fresh and juicy with hints of apple, blue melon peel, and cypress.
The mouthfeel has a slight richness.
The fresh blue melon aroma gives way to a full-bodied, fine-grained, milky sweet and savory taste. The aftertaste has a sharp grapefruit-like bitter acidity mixed with sweet umami, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.
Saki-ten is a fresh, full-bodied sake that can be drunk without hesitation. It is delicious.
From Takashima, where Furoisen is located, we received tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce), a specialty of Lake Biwa.
There are many kinds of tsukudani, such as tsukudani of gori, tsukudani of ayu fish, and grilled skewers of moroko.
And when I rummaged through our refrigerator, there it was! Soma no tengu👺.
What a beautiful day to open the bottle 😆🍶.
Good evening, Hirupeco 😃.
Somaten it is 👺.
I saw your tasting comment that looks so delicious and reminded me once again of the great taste 🤤.
You can't go wrong with pairing it with local sake snacks where the brewery is located: ☺️
Good evening, Aladdin. Did you get my soma love? I knew it would be delicious 😍I don't eat moroko or gori. I'm personally in the labyrinth of tasting right now, so it's times like this when I need local sake power 😆.
Hi, Hirupeko 😀
It's a great idea to have a Tengu in the middle of a lineup of Lake Biwa's specialties 😇.
Local sake is the best match for local food 😇.
Hi Hirupeko, good evening 😁.
I didn't know that 😭
I'm sure you'll love it 😍
I think Shiga Prefecture snacks would go well with Shiga Prefecture sake 😁 I'll try to pair it with Shiga Prefecture products next time!
Good evening, Ao. Soma no Tengu is hard to read, isn't it? It might be one of the hard-to-read sake. But it is easier to drink than Furoisen, so please try it with some snacks from Lake Biwa 😊.
Memorandum.
Tengu in "Soma.
I read it from a distance as "Matsu no Tengu! but it is not a pine tree.
I may have conquered the slight bitterness. One cup 🍶.
It was delicious!
