Tonight I drank a bottle of "Asakai" Junmai Daiginjyo Nama Genjyu, unheated and bottled, moderately chilled in the refrigerator.
The aroma is slightly fruity.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel its dryness. The aftertaste is refreshing. It is fruity but dry and has a strong, guttural taste.
I have had sake from all over Japan, but I don't think I have ever had this feeling.
This is very spicy!
Sweet at first? but then it goes from there to a solid body with some bitterness!
As I continued to drink, the tingling aftertaste lingered on for a long time.
I can drink it in gulps.
Ahhh...I'm going to get drunk comfortably... 🍶.
After a quick sip, the aroma gushes from the mouth to the throat after a beat.
The spiciness is then transferred to the throat and burns the whole body.
As it returns to room temperature, the spiciness is short-lived and rounded.
Asakai is a sake I know the name of that I've had a few times somewhere, but after Natsunokotobuki, this "It's summer sake! It's nothing but summer sake! I liked the pop-up label that said, "It's a summer sake!
It is not my favorite kind of sake (......), but after drinking it, the slightly sweet sour taste, like calpis or yogurt, lingers in my mouth for a long time. It was an addictive drink that left a very strong aftertaste and made me want to drink it again. I didn't know there was such a thing... 🤤.
