It's horse racing week starting this Saturday and Sunday.
It's like I'm drinking all the time at the racetrack and racing in between, so I don't really know what I'm doing anymore 😆.
I forgot to take a picture of the sake we drank.
Anyway, I introduced a place I've been going to recently that serves good snacks and drinks from 4:00 p.m., on the winner's dime.
The owner has a peculiar taste. This time there was an aged Yamahai sake, so I asked him to warm it up.
It was a nice color of yamabuki, as if it had been aged for 5 years. It was a delicious sake, with a gusto of rice flavor combined with the acidity of the Yamahai. It would have been better if the horse race had been better... 😅 See you next week!
Comparison of ORIGARAMI!
Yonemune is 70 polished rice at 21 degrees, dry with a strong rice flavor.
It is very characteristic.
Ruka is more refreshing, but Ruka is also very tasty!
Dawn of the Young at Otemachi
A great opportunity to learn about unknown breweries
Some of the things that caught my attention (1)
Yonemune
The biggest discovery of the event
Sake from a small brewery in Aichi served hot
The R1BY Yamahai has a mature aroma reminiscent of Furei.
A little fruitiness mixed in.
The yeast-less nama-hashi has an alcohol content of 21.9 degrees Celsius!
The alcohol content was raised to 23 degrees, but it was watered down to the limit of what can be sold as sake.
Easy to drink without feeling the alcohol content, full-bodied and sharp at the same time.
While many of the sake on display are sweet and sour and fruity, this sake has a quality that sets it apart from the rest!
I strongly hope that this kind of brewery will remain.
I decided to buy a bottle and leave it at home.
A punchy nigori sake that does not lose any of its alcohol content when served on the rocks. It is both refreshing and drinkable, but may be dangerous when your body is fatigued from the summer heat.
Sake Katsudo at Pojiya (3)
The third sake, "Hanaboe Mizuhashiroshi Nama-zake", has been served at Pojiya before, so I'll skip it.
The number of postings is getting out of sync with the number of sakes, but here is the 4th sake 🍶.
Yonemune "Perfect fermentation, Yamahai yeast yeast, Junmai Ginjo-shu, unfiltered, raw sake"!
The aroma has a hint of cemedine, the mouthfeel is slightly umami-driven with a sweet and sour sweetness, and the finish is clean with a touch of bitterness in the back of the throat.
When I first saw the name "Aoki Shuzo", I mistook it for the brewery of "Yukio", but it turns out there is a brewery of the same name in Aichi.
