Hankyu Department Store Event (3)
Li Bai's booth in Shimane Prefecture.
I used to buy their mirin (sweet cooking rice wine) because it was so good, but this time I held back and didn't buy it.
◉Li Bai Tokubetsu Junmai Katsugonigori Nama Sake Dreamy Clouds
The sake is fermented in the bottle and is very shwashy. The taste is slightly dry. The English label on the bottle suggests that this is an export product, but it was bottled "raw" without any heat treatment.
◉Li Bai Junmai Ginjyo Araubashiri Nama Nama Sake
This was a limited edition of 200 bottles. It has a strong sake taste and umami rather than a roughness. I'm a sucker for limited editions, but it wasn't really my favorite, so I passed on it.
I bought it after tasting it and finding it delicious. It was a sake that helped me when I felt that my taste buds had returned to normal.
I enjoyed it while wishing for the romance of conquering the serpent Yamata and freedom from corona.
I loved the taste of this sake. I would like to repeat this one and taste it again 😌.
Li Bai Shuzo
Li Bai Junmai Ginjyo Araubashiri Nama Nama Sake
The brewery is located in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture.
The rice is 55% polished "Yamadanishiki" produced in Shimane Prefecture.
The aroma is fresh and muscat-like,
full-bodied rice flavor, a hint of bitterness, and a thick texture.
A slight bitterness, a thick texture on the tongue, and a crisp finish.
A crisp aftertaste.
#Japanese Sake
I bought this Sandesi at the 7-Eleven in Matsue Station, but it was labeled raw, so I assumed it would be freshly stored.
I was surprised when I drank it. It was a raw sake.
It was a shame that I had only prepared such a random side dish.
The soft, sweet flavor unique to nama-shu made my cheeks smile.
This level of sake can be bought at a convenience store. This is the kingdom of sake.
Dark and mellow✨. Easy to drink and mild tasting even though it is a raw sake.
No sourness, no spiciness, not too sweet and umami, goes well with all kinds of food.
But it is delicious even if you continue drinking it without any snacks ✨.
