With PayPay points redeemed, I made a stop on my way home from work and bought a bottle of Gikyo at my usual liquor store.
They said it was a recent addition to their sake collection and they recommended it.
I opened the bottle and poured it into one sip...white.
I thought it was acidic and shwashy😊.
I thought...
When I drank it, I found it to be a little tingly and lightly banana-like.
Delicious. It's so refreshing, I think I'll drink too much.
It was natural that it looked a little white because it was made from tailings😅.
No gassiness (?)
Ginjo aroma
Gentle rice sweetness
There is a firm umami and astringent taste.
There is a little bit of alcohol.
It may be light in the Gikyo category.
Mr. Aogiri's third drink.
Steady Mr. Gikyo.
It is so delicious that there is nothing more to say.
The balance between the light flavor of "Gohyakumangoku" and its sharpness is the best.
I looked back at the picture and found that I drank the exact same 2-year-old Gikyo-san in August. I remember that I finished it in an instant.
I think there should be a bottle of Gikyo in the family.
The moment you drink it, the umami spreads. It is pleasant to feel the tongue being moistened. It has a gentle sweetness, a little sharpness, and a rich aroma. The inside of the mouth is euphoric. It is my personal favorite.
I happened to have grilled swordfish, so I paired it with it and it was perfect. It probably goes well with anything.
