Sake that has few peculiarities and can be drunk plainly. It has a strong full-bodied flavor and umami, with a really faint bitterness at the end. It has an honorable taste.
This time it is Asahi Chrysanthemum.
I was wondering if I should fully equip our house with Asahi chrysanthemums in the coming season. I was thinking,
I found it at a Japanese restaurant in my neighborhood, so I ordered it without hesitation.
It is slightly cream-colored.
The top aroma is like brown sugar.
First, a sip at room temperature.
The mouthfeel is smooth.
The mouthfeel has a strong alcohol taste,
The aroma of a mixture of ginjo aroma and brown sugar passes through the nose, and the sweet umami taste spreads slowly.
The aftertaste is refreshing and clean.
Light in flavor for a warmed sake.
Warmed sake.
Oh, it's delicious, with the alcohol feeling of the corners removed and a good balance of sweetness, umami, and bitterness!
It was especially delicious when heated and then cooled, with just the right volume of slightly thickened, mildly sweet umami.
Even though it has been aged for 3 years, it is not difficult to drink, which is characteristic of aging,
It is good that it is light and full-bodied.
The dashimaki tamago (rolled egg) we always order at this restaurant!
(Actually, there were 4 slices, but the picture looks like 2 slices.)
It goes well with the mildness of the soup stock and eggs,
I would also like to try it with sesame paste.
Hi Hirupeco, good evening 🌇.
Thank you for your support for Fukuoka sake 😊.
I don't drink much even though it's a local sake.
I always tend to put it off because it's always available 💦.
Good evening, sake-run. Asahi Kiku is the No. 1 sake I would recommend to those who want to open the door to heated sake (according to Hirupeko) ☝️ experience heating up from room temperature 😆♨️🍶.
The 10th Meishu Kikizukai in OSAKA⑭
Asahi Kiku Shuzo / "Asahi Kiku" Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture
Founded in 1900, "Ayaka" is a gentle-tasting sake made from local Yamada-Nishiki. The best temperature is from lukewarm to top-heat (45°C).
In May 2010, a fire destroyed the brewery.
Asahikiku Junmai Sake No. 6
The best temperature is from warmed up to top (45°C). This is a little bit strange, but it's really good. I don't often drink heated sake, but it was so good I had to have a second glass 👌I kept saying how bad it was 😁.
I had a couple of other repeat customers who said it was even better than the Kuroryu 🤣.
Asahikiku Special Junmai No.7
This one was also heated up a little hot. It is a standard type of sake with no peculiarities and easy to drink. It's delicious.
Asahi Kiku Junmai Ginjo Rei
Also warmed up. 9 yeast. A little unimpressive.
Ayahana Tokubetsu Junmai Bottle Enclosure
Another warmed sake, recommended lukewarm. It is recommended to be warmed up to lukewarm. Very tasty 😋 Can be drunk while it's still warm.
Some people said it was the best heated sake of the day.
So, we ended up tasting 14 out of 18 breweries.
I'm sorry for the long series of posts 🙇.
Hah, I'm finally done 🤣.
Good morning, Nemuchi. Thank you for your continuous contribution. Last but not least, Asahi Kiku! My first step to becoming a heated sake lover was the Asahi Kiku earth, and it's still delicious 😊 I haven't had an Asahi Kiku in a while.
Hi Hirupeko, good morning ☀I don't drink much heated sake, but I can see why you're into heated sake 👌I felt like I could drink this all the time, it was so zesty and shockingly good 😋.
Good morning, Nemuchi 😃.
Thanks for your continuous posting 🤗Your report is great after drinking 80% of the breweries 😳It's getting cold and it's nice to have heated sake 🍶 at home 🍶☺️ Asahi Kiku-san! I'll keep that in mind 😄
Good morning, Jay & Nobby ☀It was a shame we couldn't visit all the breweries 😱I'm always a cold sake drinker even in cold weather, but I recommend Asahikiku which showed me the charm of heated sake 😋 I look forward to your review of Tochigi Kenmin Kai 😉.
Good evening, bouken🌛I love Kouryuu pre-sake, so I can't say which one is better 🤣but I was calling out "so bad" the whole time I was drinking Asahi Kiku😄maybe because it was the last one and I was shaking it off with a hebereke 🤣.
