I found an unfamiliar sake at a liquor store I sometimes stop by. It was my first Okayama sake.
The bottle was opened with no problem, although there was a warning about opening the bottle. The aroma was a little zingy.
When I took a sip, I felt some chili, the acidity was assertive, and finally, the alcohol left my nose.
The taste is different from my taste, so I will not repeat it.
The last is the "Tagaji" Jun Dai type on the right.
Refreshing flavor with citrus and melon sensation.
A clean taste of sweet and sour astringency.
The rich umami of the rice spreads through the flavor, making it a very satisfying cup. There is a slight sense of gas, and in the latter half, the astringent taste comes out and combines with it, giving a sense of tightness. The refreshing and crisp finish was also irresistible!
The day ended with leek soba noodles.
Sweet, crunchy, and fragrant chives from Okayama. It was the first time for me to try it, and I was amazed at how delicious it was!
And that brings us to today👍.
The second bottle opened today. Tagaji's Asahi Rice. This one has a fresh aroma and a strong gasiness. It is a sweet, sour, and mildly modern sake. It has a sweet taste and is best enjoyed well chilled. It is good as a stand-alone sake rather than as a food sake. It goes well with fruits and sherbet. It is served with strawberries for dessert.
TAGAJI after a long time
Junmai Omachi
Omachi is good after all.
The moment you open the cork
The moment the cork is opened, it makes a nice sound! With a nice sound
with a nice sound, the full sweet aroma of the rice comes out.
The crunchy texture and the delicious taste of the rice spreads all over your mouth
It is a moment of indescribable bliss
And it has a dry side as well.
This is a bottle that omatists can't get enough of 😊.
Pairing with salted squid is also a good choice
