Before welcoming the autumn hiyaoroshi, we toasted with the last summer sake of the year 🍶 Today we opened a chilled Kuzuryu sake 🧊, a junmai hi-iru sake made with 65% Gohyakumangoku from Fukui Prefecture, and thickened to be enjoyed on the rocks. The first sip has a powerful flavor unique to sake made from pure rice. As the ice melts, the sweetness melts away, leaving a gentle impression 😋Today we will be serving it with niza-dai sashimi and our standard grilled hokke (hokke with salt) 😋.
I bought it even though I thought it was probably not my favorite 😁 I got it on the rocks and cold sake because it is recommended to drink it on the rocks. It is a bit sweet, thick, and heavy, so it is easier to drink on the rocks, but I didn't really like it. It has a sharpness, so I drank a little of it with meat or fish as a food sake 🍶.
Fruity and drinkable!
I drank the last one and the freshly opened one, but I don't think they are so different from each other!
Delicious sake! I want to drink it again!
