While eating Gifu cuisine, I befriended a nearby uncle and we talked about Hourai and W.
The three "W "s, Watanabe (Watanabe sake brewery), World (World), and Warai (laughter), are incorporated into the name, expressing the desire to convey the charm of sake to the world and to bring smiles to the faces of those who drink it.
More than 14 varieties of sake rice are used in the W series, and in order to clarify the differences between the different sake rice varieties, the yeast is unified as "M310 yeast".
The rice polishing ratio is also unified at 50%, and although the sake is Junmai Daiginjo standard, it is labeled "Junmai-shu" on the label.
This is the first one in this series in many years.
I don't remember much about it, although my own comments from last time indicate that I didn't like it very much.
I am half anxious and half hopeful because this year's taste is quite different.
The color is almost colorless. The aroma is not flashy either. It has the aroma of so-called "junmai" (pure rice).
As expected, it does not have the rich sweetness that I remember from before, but I first felt a tingling sensation on the tip of my tongue. Then, sweetness and sourness in the middle. In the second half, there is a bitter taste followed by a pungent taste.
The sweetness and pungency are strong, but they are balanced by the acidity.
I had been reluctant to buy Kame-no-o because I did not like it very much, but I think this one is good.
Well, I think the main reason is that my tastes have changed.
As for what to pair it with, I think it should be something well-seasoned and strong.
The aroma is fresh and fruity❗️As you take a sip, a tangy, raw and astringent taste comes after a dense texture on the tongue❗️Followed by a refreshing fruity sweet aroma that leaves your nose❗️Great good sake that is also great as a food sake❤️
Sake Koi Japan No.6.
Gifu Sake following to Imi Sake!
On this day, Gifu sake made its debut twice in a row.
It was so sweet! It is beyond sweet and delicious.
It is sweetness dyed in red.
It was so sweet that I replaced it with drunken whale. (laugh).
