Sweet schwashy cider type.
Less sweet than the sansho I had a while back, even with a mealtime drink. We paired it with grilled chicken with sauce and had it with a refreshing mouth wash.
Last night we went to our second usual restaurant 🏮.
I chose a sake called "Kijoshu"!
Sweetness overflowing! It was fizzy and refreshing 🫧.
The taste was reminiscent of white grape juice!
For snacks, we had our usual oden 🍢.
By the way, the other day was the sake test 😳.
For those of you who took the test, how was your response?
I took the 3rd level, and I'm relieved to say that I managed to exceed the border in my self-scoring... 🪽.
I'm hoping to make it to Level 2 this year, and hopefully Level 1!
Home liquor store that I couldn't get to because I've been busy with a lot of things.
I will definitely buy something! I decided to visit for the first time in a long time!
There were some tempting spring sakes, but
but I decided on this modern Yamahai sake, which I had never tried before.
Ishikawamon 60% polished, 13% alcohol by volume
The sound of the bottle opening was a "f"-spong ♫
Smoke also appeared 💨
Microbubbles appear immediately after pouring into a glass 🫧.
As expected of a raw sake 👍
The aroma is like rumney or muscat.
Modern Yamahai has a really nice aroma!
The temperature is a little high because I drink it right after I bring it home.
When I drink it, the sweetness is open well.
It has a thick sourness and a sweetness that is typical of Modern Yamahai! The thick acidity, which is typical of Modern Yamahai, and the fresh acidity of Nama-zake go well together.
The fresh acidity of the unpasteurized sake combines with the thick acidity that is typical of modern Yamahai sake.
As expected, it is very good!
I really like Modern Yamahai!
Long time.
It is a modern Yamahai natural sake,
softness, acidity of Yamahai, sweetness of rice, and freshness with a slight effervescence.
I felt the softness, the acidity of Yamahai, the sweetness of rice, and the freshness
Delicious!
Yoshida Kurau Ishikawamon Nama Sake.
Following the recent Hyakumangoku No Shiro, we will also have a glass of Ishikawa-mon Nama-shu.
The fresh, slightly citrusy nose with a pleasant gasiness enhances the impression of freshness.
The soft texture on the tongue is followed by a gentle sweetness that spreads gently. A refreshing acidity and moderate bitterness add to the aftertaste.
Soft, fresh, and slightly effervescent, this is a happy sake that can only be enjoyed in early spring!
