Gagakuyo - DAY 1.
The season of IMADEYA's hanpukai GUITO! The first one is Garakudai from Tenryohai Sake Brewery. This is the first sake brewery to use the 1401 yeast.
The brewery had a hard time understanding the fermentation process because it is a yeast without bubbles.
It has a gentle banana-like aroma, which is typical of 1401 yeast, and a light taste with a restrained sweetness, but the balance between the fullness of umami and the refreshing acidity in the aftertaste enhances the elegant aftertaste!
It is refreshing and light in taste, but very easy to drink thanks to its gentle sweetness.
However, it is very easy to drink thanks to its gentle sweetness.
The mornings and evenings are getting colder and colder.
In Sendai, it was 4 degrees Celsius when I left for work yesterday😅.
This is the second time for me to drink Garakudai, and it's so good! The aroma is mild, and the taste is very smooth and smooth 🤔Quintessential Masayo 😋🐎 👍.
Good morning Jay & Nobby😊.
It has suddenly gotten really cold, please take care of yourselves and don't catch a cold 🙇.
Masayo, I read your story about the naming of this one back in the day 😆.
He wanted to try Gagakuyo, so he consulted with the liquor store about which one would be good, and bought this one.
From its sweet, fruit-like aroma, it has a pleasant feeling of moderate gasiness and sweetness in the mouth.
It goes down the throat nicely, and at that moment, the gentle aroma of sake lingers behind the nose in a fluffy way, which is very pleasant.
Overall, the sake is gentle and unobtrusive, so you can drink as much as you want, and it seems to go well with any meal and will gently accompany it.
Niigata Prefecture's sake is mostly light and dry. This sake is balanced with the current trend of rich sweetness while maintaining the tradition of such sake quality.
This sake is a well-balanced sake with a rich sweet taste, which is the current trend. It is made with a yeast I had never heard of before, called "test brewing 1401 yeast. It has a lightness with a richness to it.
Sake from Imanaya's hanpukai.
Garakudai-san's sake has an image of being refreshing and fruity.
This time, the refreshing taste was stronger and the fruity taste was a little less,
Is it dry? Is this what you call "light"?
The fruity flavor was supplemented with the apples we received.
🍶🤓.
Opened the bottle with a loud pop 😳!
Sweet aroma but not so much sweetness.
The alcohol is 15 degrees, but it feels more low al, and the sourness stands up as you drink.
A gentle and beautiful sake. Modern food sake: ✌️
♪♪♪♪♪
This is my first Gagakuyo!
First time and it's not a classic, it's a test brew 😅.
But yes, it's delicious! The acidity!
I thought it was a classic type by the aroma, but I was surprised when I drank it!
Hmm?
Neo-classical? ←A certain metal band?
Sorry for the blurriness, it doesn't make sense to the majority of people💦.
No, it's delicious! 😋.
I'm usually all about the modern type, but this is "more ari than ari" 😄.
This was one that made me think I might want to try a different Gagakuyo!
As for the snacks
Beef tataki and grilled vegetables
Ganmono with green onion ponzu!
and a bowl of fried beef tataki with grilled vegetables and ganmono with green onion ponzu!
It may come as a surprise, but it turns out that grilled vegetables and Gagakuyo go well together: ☺️
Hi Miyabi 😃
Congratulations on your first Masayo 🎉 ㊗️
I know what you mean about neoclassical... 🤗 in short, it's delicious 😙.
Please try some of the other Masayo's 👋
Hi J&N😊
Masayo is the name 😂.
No, is that the correct abbreviation? 🤣
It's delicious after all! It comes down to you, myself 😆.
Maybe neoclassical could be used as an expression? 🤔
I would like to try other masayos!
On the way home from a physical...
I think I'll buy some sake and go home...
I'll drink some! I'm so excited to be alone ✨.
One glass of sharaku wasn't enough, so I ordered the next one, Gagaku ✨.
I ordered a different sake to warm up, but the waitress rifled through the fridge right after.
The waitress rifles through the fridge and says, "Wow! It's Garakudai! Can I drink it?" She replied, "Of course! It's a collaboration sake with Imanaya". This restaurant serves everything 🤗.
I guess it hasn't been open long, but I love the tangy sensation it leaves on your tongue ✨I love it 😋That's what "light" means: ☝️
Shime saba (mackerel) with cream cheese and iburigakko (pickled ginger) was the best match. （I should have taken a picture.)
I may come back next week 😆 and headed home with two bottles of sake at the restaurant!
This is the first time I have applied for IMADEYA's GUITO! I am very much looking forward to this project where I can enjoy challenging sake from breweries that do not usually distribute their products.
The first was a limited edition of Garakudai by Tenryohai Sake Brewery. It is the first sake to use 1401 yeast.
The characteristics of 1401 yeast are low acidity and high ginjo aroma, which makes it a light and dry sake.
It is the perfect yeast for the light and dry Garakudai.
This sake is also characterized by its low sweetness and lack of flamboyance, making it a refreshing sake.
This sake is also good as a food sake, and is recommended for people who like gorgeous fruity sake but would like to try a light and refreshing sake.
I am looking forward to next month's hanpunshu.
Thank you for the sake.
This is what I used to drink.
Masayo's Ouroboros.
It has a unique aroma with a soft acidity in a mellow taste. It has a very smooth and smooth mouthfeel. While it is sweet like a dessert wine, it is very easy to drink, and the acidity gives it a sharp finish.
I am not a big fan of kijoshu, but I could drink this one for a long time.
As expected from Masayo, it is a delicious wine that will not betray you 💕.
Good evening, Mr. Wakata 😃.
This Masayo-san looks like a rascal and fits in well with indoor photos 🤗.
We're not good at kijo sake either 😅I'd like to try Masayo's 😙.
Good evening, Wakata.
Ouroboros is delicious ⤴️
I had it for the first time last year at Masayo-san, and I remember it was a very easy to drink kijoshu 🎵.
I remember it was a very easy to drink kijo sake 🎵.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😃When my husband brought this one, I didn't realize it was Masayo's 💦 later, I was like, nah 😱. But it was a quintessential finish, the sweetness pulled off fast and was gracefully delicious 😋.
Good morning, ma-ki--san 😃I see you've already had Ouroboros! I'm so proud of you ✨and your first time was here, so advanced ❣️, you have so many drinks you want to try that you can't get around to the ones you haven't had in a while, which is a luxurious problem 😊.
@Home Drinking
I'm with Masayo again 🤭.
Zuika here, the aroma is muscat-like and certainly on the gorgeous side (unusually nasal 🤣).
The sweetness is moderate, just a hint of sweetness.
Surprisingly, the bitterness and acidity come to the fore in the mouthfeel.
Not too light as Hiyori, but with a good depth of flavor and a lingering elegant aftertaste.
Hi N.E. 😃
Masayo again😄Masayo we haven't tasted 😅Zuika has a gorgeous aroma and elegant taste 😌It's only sold in liquor stores far away, so I can't go buy Masayo very often 🥲.
Hi Jay & Nobby 😆 I wrote that you are elegant.
I wrote "classy", but unlike the past polite Masayo, I think she is a lady type who has a good upbringing but speaks up clearly⁉
Like a double treat 🤔.
I don't think I'm conveying it well 🤣🙏.
