Finished off the Oita-Kumamoto trip with a drink at Kumamoto Airport.
I had a bottle of Zuitaka, a Kumamoto City sake, with horse sashimi.
The package of Kumamon is cute, and the sake tastes sweet, refreshing, and easy to drink.
The fourth cup was "Zuitaka" Kumamoto sake, since we were talking about Kumamoto Castle!
Mellow flavor with a mineral and cemedine taste
The taste is mellow and dry with a touch of minerality and cemedine. It's a little sweet with a hint of molasses in the middle, and it's a surefire way to warm up ✨.
It was 2 years ago when I realized that my 4-night trip from Kyoto to Ehime, Oita, Kumamoto, Saga, Hyogo & Osaka was over. Time flies so fast 💫.
This is also a tasting set. Sake degree +2, 16% alcohol. This one feels spicier. It's a bit stronger. I can't tell this from the tasting set. It is delicious. I'll have to consult with my budget to buy it...
If I have a chance, I would like to drink it again.
At first smell, the aroma is thin, but after shaking, the milk cheese flavor enters the nose.
On the palate, the rice aroma is rich and pungent, and the alcohol is balanced with the aroma of pure rice wine.
3/5
I bought a bottle at the last New Sake Festival 😋.
I'm opening a bottle mid-week to reward myself!
It has a mellow taste, but also has a freshness that is GOOD😋.
It seems to go well with a variety of snacks. It's a good sake 😆.
