Sake of the Day
Asahikiku Daichi
Special Junmai Nama Shu
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki from Fukuoka Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 17%.
Warmed H29BY. The mild flavor is impressive and would be good warmed up to lukewarm. The taste is gentle and elegant despite being a matured sake, which is typical of Asahi Kiku.
♥♥♥♥🩵 Ayaka, after all. I don't know the origin of this name, but it describes the gentle flavor well.
Don't just sip it, fill your mouth full of it and you will taste a lot of gentleness.
♥♥♥♥🩵 This is the first time I've had this one, a raw sake from the earth. At 17 degrees, it's probably a nama sake. Naturally, it has more energy than the hi-ire, but I can sense the calmness that is typical of Daichi.
Tonight we went to Otsuka to eat anaguma. The wife saw it in a magazine and wanted to go there. 4 at Jizake and more.
The last one was also omakase and heated sake. We chose this sake to go with the zosui, which was mild with the egg. It was indeed very gentle. When heated, the aroma, sweetness, and umami spread gently. It's deeply delicious.
Long ago, I drank heated sake at a cheap izakaya (Japanese-style bar), and the volatile alcohol of the cheap sake stained my eyes. I regretted it. Heated sake is different in the way it enters the body. The temperature is close to human skin, and it's just so gentle.
I was once told that sake is supposed to be drunk warmed. Cold sake was said to be a lazy drink. I had read a story about this and thought I had to try it again, but my first memory of it kept me from trying it.... It's not good not to drink. I should have taken it earlier.
After the rice porridge, I had some room in my stomach, so I tried one of their specialties: tuna and sea bream rolled with yellow meat and tuna innards. It was ridiculously delicious!
Hello Toshihiko 😃
I googled "Jizake Ya Motto" and it looks like a nice place with a nice atmosphere! I googled it and it looks like a nice place with a nice atmosphere 🥹 besides the anaguma 🐻, I'm sure the hot sake you served was delicious 🍶 too 😌!
I would rather eat something else than a badger! LOL!
I think it is a good restaurant. It was overbooked and several groups left without getting in.
Heated sake is good! I think I'll buy a tin of chirori first....
