Delicious! It is not cloudy!
I thought it would be strawberry-like sweetness, but it disappeared quickly and refreshingly!
Is there more and more easy-to-drink nigori lately...?
Continuing with the standing bars that only carry Shiga sake.
Soma no Tengu" is another brand from Uehara Shuzo, the sake brewery of our trusted "Furoisen". This is my first time drinking it 👺.
At the entrance, the aroma is sweet, like a mixture of refined koshinko and a little bit of mizuame.
When you put it in your mouth, the soft and gentle sweetness and umami of the rice will delight your palate with its mild and voluminous taste. The sharpness is achieved with a gentle but firm acidity and mild bitterness.
This is really delicious 🍶.
The cleanliness of the water, the presence of soft and gentle sweetness, the mellow and full flavor, the acidity that is there, albeit discreetly, and the mild bitterness of the sharpness. This is what you get when you balance the elements I like to look for in sake.
The temperature at which the gentle sweetness and full-bodied flavor characteristic of this sake can be felt most is when it has been chilled for some time and is slightly approaching room temperature.
This is the type of sake that you can open at home and enjoy the changes in flavor over a number of days (each day tastes different).
I've had quite a few different kinds since the beginning of this year, including many that I haven't been able to post here, and I think this might be my favorite of them all 🍶.
This is a great find 👺✨✨Takashima I knew it ✨✨.
Good evening, Yasu-san. Soma no Tengu is also delicious 😋Where is the standing bar that only serves Shiga sake? In Osaka city? Around Otsu area? I'd like to go there if I can!
Good evening, Hirupeco. It tastes so good even though you are drunk! I'm sure you're the one who remembers 😆 The restaurant is "Stand Bar Marutsu" in Abeno. Only sake from Shiga is really a man with good taste - a good boy ✨✨.
Please come by ✨✨"More water! It was a great place that was very friendly and accommodating to such a simple request 😆 I drink in Osaka often, so if you ever have the chance, please join me again ✨✨.
Here is the home drinking portion that I forgot to bring up.
First of all, it was served chilled.
The first aroma is of malted rice with a hint of sweetness.
In the mouth, there is a moderate sweetness and the umami of rice.
It is like dry rice juice.
Next, we warmed it up with lenching.
The next one was lenching warming 🍶, which seemed a bit dry, so we cooled it down a bit and drank it at human body temperature, which gave it a very nice sweetness.
I think I prefer it warmed 🍶.
It was delicious ✨
At first glance, the texture is sweet and light on the tongue, but the feeling that spreads in the mouth is surprisingly spicy and thick. Perhaps because of this drop, I want a sweet snack, so I drink it while eating corn pottage-flavored rice crackers. Every time I bring the drink to my mouth, somehow my eyes hurt from the irritation in the air. LOL I wonder if this is the alcohol in the air soaking my eyes? Man, the alcohol stains my tired eyes after a long day at work. LOL!
I went to Shiga Prefecture to visit a sake brewery and bought this sake because it had a nice aroma. When you put it in your mouth, the delicious taste of rice spreads. It is full-bodied, but crisp and dry. It is delicious.
7/21 I went to the Uehara Sake Brewery's first drinking session again this year. 35 different kinds of sake were judged seriously. I know I have a silly tongue, but I hope it helps (lol). The 3rd and 4th pictures are from that time.
Soma no Tengu was purchased that day. It is a little light and firm among the Buroisen.
The light nigori draft is irresistible. I'm not sure if I've ever had it before 😋😋.
Hi NITO!
I see you went to your first drinking session! I saw it on the blog of a local liquor store, but I didn't know you went 😳.
It's nice to be able to drink draft and nigori at this time of the year ❣️
Good evening, NITO-san. I see you went to the first drinking party at Uehara Sake Brewery. I was camping on Takashima that day, so I thought it would be nice to go to the first drinking party while drinking a small bottle of Soma's Tengu. I wish I could have had some fresh sake. 😮💨
Bon, good evening♪♪
The first time I drank my first sake, I served it by looking at the color, smelling the aroma, and tasting it in my mouth, but it was delicious, so I drank a little bit of each of the 35 varieties. 😃😃.
It is a junmai ginjo, but it has a strong acidity with a taste of Furozumi. Even though it is made in a different way, it has a nice "sake yeast" style.
Today I am a tengu in Soma.
I went back to Shiga and camped at Makino Kogen.
So, it's sake from Takashima.
Actually, there is a rumor that I had prepared camp sake in advance, but I forgot it at home, so it turned out to be a small bottle of Soma no Tengu.
But it was thanks to the small bottle that I was able to take a nice picture ^ ^.
Aroma of sweet and savory rice.
Slightly milky mouthfeel.
The rich sweet flavor with a hint of milkyness flows through the mouth, and the acidity and bitterness in the second half give it a nice sharpness.
It has been a long time since I've tasted a Tengu, but it's still very drinkable and delicious.
When camping on Takashima Island, I have been saying for a while that I would buy some eel from the local market and have eel bowl! I had been saying this for a long time, and it finally came true.
It was a little early on the day of the Ox.
I'm going to roast it over a charcoal fire,
Outdoor eel bowl and tengu (a kind of fish) are the best!
Hi Hirupeko, ☀It's a beautiful day for camping 🏕The blue sky and idyllic scenery look great with the soma no tengu 😁The sierra cup eel bowl and the soma no tengu, which is very drinkable, are a perfect pairing 😋.
Good evening, Kuni. I was happy to be able to take good pictures with the plateau in the background. It was weird to wander around the campsite with a bottle of alcohol 😅.
Good evening, Nemuchi-san. It was really nice weather and we had a relaxing and enjoyable camping. You are right about the Tengu in Soma for the eel bowl👍.
