Lately, I've been really into Sogen sake (lol).
Today I had a bottle of "Sogen Nigori Sake (Nama Sake)"... but I know it tastes best cold, so I dared to serve it warm!
40 degrees Celsius was the best for the aroma!
Start: Like amazake (sweet sake)
Middle: Alcoholic (happiness), muddy sweetness pushes in.
Last: Refreshing (which is surprising), crisp taste, goes well with soy sauce based hot pot!
I was not comfortable with heating up a draft sake, but no...it's delicious!
This is a must-try!
The price is about 1400 yen for 720ml.
It has been a long time since I have been to Sogen!
When I went to Kanazawa in March this year, it was already gone, and when I went one more time in September, there was a line at Kanazawa station, but only a little.
It has a deep, rich, pungent flavor. But it also has an atmosphere like molasses.
I love Sogen!
Like nuts, like maple syrup,
A little bit of such aroma.
It is mellow, sweet, creamy and delicious.
The alcohol comes on strong and strong.
The aroma is earthy, like mushrooms or butterbur.
Bitter taste.
It would be great with anglerfish liver.
It might be a man's sake.
Taste level ☆3/5
It seems to be the first new sake since the earthquake.
I had not bought it before because I was afraid of the high alcohol content, but I bought it because it was delicious after drinking it at a tasting event held by Icoma-san.
There is no indication on the label, but the rice polishing ratio is written on the bottle, so I guess it is a honjozo?
Unlike the image, it has a floral sweetness. It is light and easy to drink without feeling the alcohol content. This is a dangerous one because it seems to be easy to drink.
It's a bit heavy, but compared to Morinori's Kami-Sen, Kansai Nama-Zume-Genshu, and Kannon-Shita, it feels lighter.
It does have a certain alu-ness to it in the aftertaste, though.
The sake level seems to be about -6.
bouken, here's the other bottle you purchased at that store 😀.
I was going to buy one too, but I couldn't afford the fridge and cellar for the Nigorinpic 🤣.
I'm always put off when the store is so close 😅.
Hello Yasbaye ☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀☀.
It was not this sake, it was the Toyoga from one post ago😅.
I bought Sogen after drinking it at the Ikoma tasting where I stopped by after buying this sake 😊.
It's been a long time since I've had a bottle of Sogen!
It is a delicious sake that is always full of the charm of rice.
Juicy and drinkable, I will share the evening with one of my favorite bottles.
The dinner was a fish dish, so it was a good combination!
I'll have a sip of it with a boar's mouth!
