Store Drinking.
This is "Unagidani" in Shinsaibashi.
I thought it would be a shame to come to Osaka and not drink Osaka sake....
I looked for a bottle but there is no Osaka sake. Bad timing I guess 😅.
Then I asked for unagi (eel) 😄
The color is clear.
Smell is sweet and sour.
Taste is green apple 🍏, strong sourness.
The taste is slightly carbonated.
The aftertaste is astringent.
The ginjo aroma is strong, with a hint of sourness.
It has a good sharpness.
The brand name has style, but it is well-balanced with a modern atmosphere, making it an easy drinking sake 🍶.
In fact, yesterday we had another bottle of Wang Luke at the same time.
It was great sake while eating beef tongue with wasabi.
Sake that goes well not only with fish dishes but also with meat dishes is really great.
I don't know how to burp.
I attribute it to the fact that my mother (ignorantly) didn't pat me on the back after I drank milk when I was a baby (I don't begrudge her that).
I've met a few people in the same situation so far, and the common problem is that they can't tell the difference between a burp and a gape, and they can only drink a little beer or champagne.
I bought this King's Reward twice from the same production lot. The last time I bought the same batch, the beer was very tasty with a low carbonation level of Orangina, but this time it was about the same carbonation level as cola and tasted light (or was it fermented too late to open the bottle and the taste became lighter?) I think it tasted light (fermented too late to open the bottle and the taste became light?
I regretted that I should have bought 4 or 5 bottles at once when it first came out and drank it every day (if I missed it, that would be a big problem). I really think there is no right answer for daily drinking.
Degree of liking 7/10
light flavor (flavour)
Fruity aroma, smooth attack. Light umami mouthfeel. It goes in smoothly and has a good sharpness.
It is a sake that goes down smoothly 🤣.
I decided to buy Oroku in a bottle and took the train home, carrying a heavy one. Among several kinds of bottles, I found a direct-fermented one. I didn't find it by myself, but someone at the store recommended it to me as I was hesitating.
I opened the bottle as soon as I got home. I could feel that flavor of Oroku, and I was excited. I can't analyze the taste calmly anymore because I fell in love with it. The two bottles I drank in the past were ★1, but this time it was all ★5 at once. It's a bottle, so I'll drink it carefully over several days.
I took two weeks to drink it carefully. The direct pumping of Oroku is so precious that I don't know when I will be able to see it again. It was really delicious!
