Impression: Superior Yamada-Nishiki
The aroma is subdued, but the flavor is so strong that the moment it enters the mouth, you think it is shaved Yamada. The alcohol is strong and punchy, but it is also very crisp.
It has a contradictory balance of boldness and delicacy. It goes great with sushi.
Sadly, there is no ocean in Nagano.
Repeat Score 2.0
It seems like every day this week I am greeting the New Year. Tonight we went to Kibana. When I asked for a good sake to warm up, the proprietress served me a dry sake from her hometown. The mouthfeel is crisp and dry, with a delicious umami flavor. It starts the engine.
Chinese noodle specialty at Tonchibo
When the owner went to Ueda City to buy Shinshu Kamerei, a local liquor store recommended this brand!
R yeast is a yeast that produces a lot of isoamyl acetate and malic acid.
Although the acidity is a little rough, it's not bad to have such a clear taste.
The aftertaste is clean and clear.
The first night of work at #Jizakaya Miyajima
We proceeded to drink to the 100th anniversary series of #Jizakaya Miyajima.
We started with #Takaten.
This is the sake from the brewery that I've been trying to secure whenever I visit the Suwa-Okaya area since the Mie Special.
It's a beautiful sake to snuggle up with a warming nabe after coming home to escape the rain for the first time in 40 days👍.
