We toured a sake brewery in Ono City, Fukui Prefecture, listening to the brewer's explanation and tasting a variety of sake, and this is the sake we thought was the most delicious.
It is almost not sweet, but it has a deep flavor and leaves a taste in the back of the teeth. The taste is deep and leaves a lingering impression in the back of the teeth.
Mild aroma. When you drink it, you will taste rice flavor and acidity. However, as is typical of alsobe, the sharpness is good and it cuts off smoothly, leaving a bitter taste that is easy to match with a meal.
A little alcohol immediately after the bottle is uncorked. It was sharp and clean. The next day, it tasted better, with an increased sense of maturity or umami. It was good as a food wine.
I saw the dinosaur and the pop label and bought the jackets 😀.
At first it feels sweet, but the taste changes to dry in the middle 🤤.
I felt like it got a little more dry as the days went by 🤔.
Old Sake
Taste-wise, it is not sake.
Yellow sake? It has a medicinal taste.
I found out there is such a thing.
I do not like it.
I prefer fresh, clear sake.
Delicious! I haven't had such a fruity sake in a long time. I would be surprised if I were to get caught up in this wild label and drink it by the bottle. LOL!
This is the first time I have seen these monochrome labels. I would like to know if anyone can tell the difference from the regular color label. The aroma is more lactic acidic with a hint of banana. The soft sweetness and umami of the rice spread firmly on the tongue, and the acidity builds up the backbone and increases the complexity. It is my personal favorite taste.
This is a sake from my hometown - Ono City, Fukui Prefecture.
My mother sent it to me.
She rarely drinks sake, and therefore knows very little about the details of sake, but she bought me a bottle of a maniacal pure rice sake from Yamahai Junmai.
I am getting more and more grateful to my mother, my stupid son (laughs).
Grape-like aroma, plenty of umami, slight hiney aroma, and spiciness to follow!
The spiciness of the food is well balanced with a strong salty taste.
How about if you heat it up?
The spicy flavor with a nice aroma comes to the fore. The spiciness also becomes more sharp.
The sharpness is pleasant!
Next weekend, I am going back to Fukui for a friend's wedding.
I must take extra care of my health until the weekend to properly celebrate my friend and her husband's departure.
In addition, I should stock up on sake in Fukui.
It's been a while since I've had a dry sake, but today's dry sake has just the right taste that doesn't interfere with meals. I wish there would be more sake like this. I didn't take any pictures, so here are some clippings.
