I've been drinking a lot of highballs.
I haven't been able to update this page... 🥲.
I've been too busy drinking highballs to update... .
I was so excited to have this drink,
I've been preparing oden (Japanese stew).
I decided to drink sake today 😁.
It's a dry sake with a rich umami flavor!
The strong flavor matches the oden broth. ☺️
Sake is delicious when it gets cold 😋.
Yaemon Junmai Ginjo
When I started drinking sake,
I bought a bottle at the Fukushima product store in Nihonbashi, Tokyo,
I used to buy it at the Fukushima Products Museum in Nihonbashi,
Yaemon
I was drinking it at the same time.
It is completely different from the image of Yaemon,
fresh and fruity
Delicious!
Yaemon's sake with a Sake Degree of -20🍶.
I looked up "Denke no Kasumochi Genshu" on the label and found out that it is a sake made by adding double the amount of koji and fermenting it at a low temperature for a long time.
The initial aroma is faintly sweet and sour.
In the mouth, it has a flavor like mirin (sweet cooking rice wine) or Mitarashi dumpling sauce, and a rich sweetness.
It reminded me of a sake I had last year when I went to Nara.
It was delicious 🍶✨.
With fried and soaked eggplant. 😄😄
To finish, I added udon noodles and fried egg
I had it with udon noodles and fried egg. 😊
Fresh nuances of G-fruit, apple, etc., juicy mouthfeel with transparent sweetness. Light to medium-bodied with fresh sweetness, the sweetness is rich and mellow and pretty like a daiginjo, the apple-like acidity is a good supporting player that is not too strong or overbearing, there is a firm citrus bitterness and spiciness, and the overall balance is very good. The ripe umami is balanced by the bitter and spicy acidity that serves as a tightening agent. The finish is dry and refreshing. It's a perfect finish of the orthodox style that no one will dislike.
The aroma is faint but refreshing.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a strong sweet and sour taste, which is delicious enough on its own.
The lactic acid bacteria flavor lingers in the aftertaste.
I don't know what is the right combination for this kind of sake, but it is a delicious sake by itself.
⭐︎:4
Sake purchased on a trip to Fukushima Prefecture.
The 720 ml bottle was ras 1.
It has an alcohol content of 17% and a sake level of minus 20.
The aroma is subdued, but the strong sweetness with a hint of rice flavor is similar to that of plum wine.
The color is almost golden.
I was hooked on this one.
A gift from a bad friend since I was 17 years old.
It was yellow in color, and as you can see, the mouthfeel and aroma came with a bang, and a slight sweetness and bitterness fell down my throat.
drinking at home
Aizuwakamatsu Part 2
It is a fresh, slightly sweet sake,
Fresh, a little sweet
What kind of food should we serve with it?
I had a hard time deciding what kind of food to serve with it, but I tried my wife's homemade dumplings!
I tried it with my wife's homemade dumplings!
Surprisingly, it matched well and I was satisfied 😊.
