This is the first Sogen brewed after the earthquake.
I was deeply moved by the experience of searching for and buying Sogen right after I got hooked on sake and the earthquake.
The fresh mouthfeel and flavor of the sake is typical of nama-shu, and the strength of the rice (not only umami, but also sweetness) is well expressed.
However, there is no heaviness at all, and it goes in smoothly.
There is a slight tingling at the end, perhaps due to the alcohol or the freshness of the wine.
It has a wonderful umami that seems to enhance any meal.

A brand I was interested in!
Sogen", Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture
Special Junmai made from Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture.
It is easy to drink with a smooth, square mouthfeel.
The full-bodied rice flavor spreads slowly.
The acidity and sharpness in the second half make it very pleasant to drink.
It was a beautiful sake with a lot of flavor and beauty ✨.
At Sake Bar Nami in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture. I can only thank the master for his thoughtfulness. Thank you very much. Noto support.
The oldest sake brewery in Okunoto.
The sake brewed with passion is truly a taste that touches the heart.
What would be good to go with the tempura and sashimi of wild vegetables and asparagus? I thought 🤔 and chose this one👍
Let's start with the standing aroma. It has a matured aroma reminiscent of whiskey. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the amino acid flavor with a matured feeling and a hint of aroma. It's been a while since I've had this sake 🍶 It has a slight sweetness and acidity of rice, and the aftertaste is smooth.
Start with sashimi. It goes well with horse mackerel and tuna 😊It further brings out the mild rice sweetness of this sake and suppresses the unique flavor of fish, making it a 👍 match.
Next, with wild vegetable tempura. The bitterness and aroma of the butterbur sprouts remind me of spring and enhance the flavor of the sake. The taste of the cod sprouts, which are not as peculiar as the udo, and the slightly slippery texture go well together too 😋Spring is the season to enjoy sake along with autumn ☺️ actually summer and winter too (lol).
