Direct Meeting No. 2
Along with hormone, we started grilling fresh sardines for the first time this year. The first fish of the year, by far.
Next was Echino Kanme!
This is also a first for me.
I don't feel much of the scent.
The mouthfeel is clean and dry, but has a crisp umami and a beautiful acidity and bitterness. It is simply refreshingly delicious!
We enjoyed the essence of the famous sake that created a huge movement 30 years ago by popularizing light and dry sake.
Please don't abuse me, I said so without permission.
〜I may be a veteran of the past, but my skills are the real thing!
Thank you very much for your hospitality!
Hi Colonel Lal 🐦.
This brings back memories of finding a store where I could buy it and drinking it about 30 years ago 🤭I have been wanting to drink it for a long time after seeing it! Both autumn fish look delicious😻I never got a taste of it last year, this is the year 😊.
Good morning, Uchi~'s super~riki-san 😁
The catch of saury in recent years has been poor 😅😅 but it's expensive, thin, and not fatty, so we don't go out and buy it either 😭.
Since this is a company get-together, this kind of sake is also served. It is a ginjo-shu of Koshino-Kanbai.
I don't remember much about the taste.
100% Yamadanishiki Ginjo-shu
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic), brewers' alcohol
Rice polishing ratio 50%.
Alcohol content 16%.
Not wanting to drink just Akagiyama, I opened this one. It was recommended to drink it on the rocks! I decided to drink it on the rocks, and it was surprisingly good. I would like to try the rest in a sake highball.
The aroma is mild
The taste can be summed up in one word: classic.
Mild rice flavor and sweetness
Sharp sharpness with a slight bitterness
Expressive and not monotonous
It is the type of wine that accompanies a meal well.
Served with simmered tuna tail
The first Koshino-Kanbai, Ginjo-Bessen.
The aroma is very mild and elegant, with a hint of rice sweetness. The mouthfeel is light, but there is an umami taste in the center of the tongue, followed by a quiet bitterness. The bitterness lingers in the aftertaste, giving the impression of having drunk the wine, rather than just being able to cut through it quickly.
Compared to the Hakkaisan Tokubon, I felt there was a difference in the thickness of the flavor. Even within the framework of "light" dry sake, the presence of umami and astringency is a little stronger.
When paired with Satsuma-age, the bitterness becomes milder and the umami of the rice comes to the fore. I think it was a good match as a food sake.
It is not flashy, but it is a quiet and pleasant sake.
