It's been a while since I've had sake.
I have been away from sake for a few months because I have recently started to enjoy whiskey.
This time, I bought a bottle of nigori sake from Fuji Taikan to make Matsumae pickles. I will only use a little bit of it, so after that it will be for drinking (lol).
The nigori sake is silky, sweet and easy to drink without any of the spiciness characteristic of sake. The alcohol content is 15%, so be careful not to drink too much!
At my usual favorite restaurant
First cup of Fuji Taikan.
I had a freshly opened bottle! There is something special about having the bottle right after opening 🥰.
The taste is sharp and dry!
Perfect for a meal!
At a restaurant serving Satsuma's local cuisine!
The lady of the restaurant has recently started mountain climbing and since we share the same hobby, we had a lot of fun talking about which mountains are good. ⛰️🥰
We spent a pleasant time drinking and talking about our hobbies!

The rich, mellow flavor of junmai sake and the fruity freshness of nouveau sake. It has no peculiarities and is easy to drink. ◎Bottom Line

Light on the palate with good sharpness.
It is a clean and refreshing sake with no complex flavors, and I like it very much as a food sake. I would like to drink it with sashimi.
