[Memorandum] Drinking outside
This is the first time for me to drink Zenkichi. It doesn't have a hiya oroshi feeling, but it is sweet. It is sweeter than expected. I can see why it is popular. It's good!
Aroma with sweetness in the midst of crispness.
A refreshing taste on the palate. Then sweetness and spiciness interweave as it passes down the throat.
It is just like a drill making a smooth, fine hole.
Late Autumn Sadness
The nose evokes sweetness and astringency, like grape skins. After a quick sweetness, it turns to complex acidity and bitterness. After a soft, cottony overtone, it finishes with a lingering bitterness.
Overall, this sake has a complex aroma and a bitter taste.
★★★★
The aroma is mild.
When you taste it, it is delicious.
Smooth and mineral-like.
The texture is clear.
Crunchy and full-flavored from the start.
Lightly juicy and sweet, with refreshing acidity and bitterness.
Freshness.
Taste 3.5/5
Nagano Purchased at a liquor store
Purchased on a trip to Nagano for a gathering of relatives 🍶.
A bottle purchased for everyone to drink at a hot spring hotel.
I asked my favorite liquor store for a recommendation and chose Zenkichi, which I personally trust and trust 💁.
If it is easy to get in Nagano and tastes consistently good, it is Zenkichi 🤔.
I immediately opened the bottle 🍶 and it tastes great 😋.
The mouthfeel is refreshing, the acidity is moderate, and the rice flavor is well pronounced 😄.
It has a sweet umami taste that is more subdued than fresh 😊I can feel something of autumn 🍂.
Again, the taste did not disappoint!
I only had about a cup left when I got back 😭
I will go to Nagano to buy some more 💰.
Thank you so much for the food 💰!
Tonight is Zenkichi! We will have hiyaoroshi made from 100% Miyamanishiki.
The sweetness and bitterness are well balanced. The last taste is spicy and has a good sharpness!
The flavor and aroma are both rich and concentrated. It was the perfect Zenkichi for a long autumn evening 🍶🌙.
The taste is similar to Choyo Fukumusume
It is not hiya oroshi, so it tastes lighter.
