I found this Fukuoka sake in my impatience to color the map of Japan💦😅.
It's very dry! I think it's around extra brut in sparkling wine🥂.
It's crisp and dry 💪.
It's a very dry sake!
Polishing ratio 55, content 200ml, blue bottle, luxury image✨.
Immediately after opening the bottle, you can smell the aroma of rice.
The dry taste spreads quickly in the mouth, but there is almost no aftertaste. The alcohol is 14 to 15 degrees.
I went to a local liquor store and asked for a sake for beginners that would go well with salami or prosciutto, and they said it wouldn't get 100 points, but it would get 70 points because it would go well with all kinds of tzumi.
As a result, I felt that it did not score a red point with salami or cured ham, but the label says that it was made with the idea of "making a junmai ginjo that goes well with Genkainada's snacks", and I thought it would rather go well with Kyushu's sweet soy sauce. I think it goes well with the sweet soy sauce of Kyushu.
As the sake shop said, it's difficult to find sake that goes well with this kind of snack.
After watching the compilation of Seiji Rokkaku's "Nomi Tetsudou Honsen Nihon Tabi", I suddenly wanted to go on a trip.
I bought the limited edition "Minna no Kyushu Ticket" (Northern Kyushu version) that JR Kyushu is selling until the end of March, and took a weekend day trip ✖️2 days!
I enjoyed Kuma Shochu with black tea and spicy lotus root chips that I bought at the buffet in the train of the sightseeing limited express Yamemi Kawasami No. 92 that I took from Hakata to Mojiko.
Japanese Sake❓
Unfortunately, the train originally ran through the Kuma region in the southern part of Kumamoto Prefecture, which is a shochu kingdom, so sake was not available as a matter of course😅.
The next train we boarded was the Sonic 23 express, which effectively started our drinking trip❗️.
First of all, Kitaya Kanzansui Junmai Ginjo 55% polished
I'm not sure what to make of this one.
Because I drank it at room temperature❓Because I lost the smell of the one-cup bottle❓
However, when you sip it, the sweet, spicy, and delicious flavors hit you at the same time❗️It spreads in your mouth all at once, and then it quickly clears up.
I was enjoying the sweet, spicy, and savory flavors of the Beppu Sea on the train, and I finished it in no time at all.
It's still more than 40 minutes until we reach our destination in Beppu😅.
