Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting (2)
Somaten by Furoisen.
Furoizumi Somatengu Junmai Tengu Junmai Ginjyo Nama Genjyo Nama Genjyo, pressed in a wooden vat with a balance.
Lightly cloudy, with a fresh, fine milky taste, but with a sweetness and umami that is not overpowered by the milky taste. It has a bitter aftertaste.
I have an image of Furoizumi as thick and full-bodied, but I don't think this one is like that.
I drank it warmed, and the umami was more pronounced, and I preferred it warmed.
I remember not being that into it when I drank it by itself before, but it's been a super long time since I drank it when I served it to eat sashimi, and it's so good! It goes so well with sashimi! I'm so happy! I can eat as much sashimi as I want!
Even though it has been open for quite a while, the aroma of the wooden barrels and the deep, rich, calming taste spread through my mouth and nostrils, and the sweetness of the fluffy fish, the fat on the fish, and the slight fishy smell were all held together comfortably. I can repeat this forever!
Hi Q-chan 😃
There are some sakes 🍶 that are better when paired with a meal 🤗 both the sashimi and the sake become delicious 😋It's a very heartening review 👍.
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 😊.
