Monday's regular event - jogging at a leisurely pace, followed by a drink comparison at an antenna store....
Today's drink is from Toyama Prefecture (3rd drink)!
Katsuma Junmai Sake
Gohyakumangoku, Kanazawa yeast
Aroma: Low banana aroma
Mouthfeel: Mild sweetness?
Medium: Umami?
Aftertaste: Sudden acidity, dry and sharp
It is a classic type that can be drunk well, but it may have been the best match for today's firefly squid.
Autumn Sake: Favorite Score: 8.0/10
Aroma: 1.5|Mouthfeel: 1.5|Medium: 1.5|Final taste: 1.5|Price: 2.0
Memorandum for myself
Trophy of Toyama trip (2)
It has more punch than Junmai.
However, it is not difficult to drink, and it goes down smoothly.
I think this one is more drinkable for me.
Good evening 🐓🐤🥚😃Congratulations on your 200 check-in 🎊Congratulations on your 200 check-in 🎊Congratulations on your Katsikoma, it's a good number 😋I've never had it yet but it looks delicious✨.
Memorandum for myself
This is a trophy of my trip to Toyama.
Gentle on the palate, sweet like cotton candy instead of fruity sweetness.
Easy to drink with just the right amount of sharpness.
Rice polishing ratio 40%, 17% alcohol by volume, 100% Yamadanishiki
It has a nice aroma. When you drink it, it has a very fruity aroma as the label says. The sharpness is also good. Although it is a dry sake with a high alcohol content, it is easy to drink. Dangerous.
September is over and this year is 3 months early😮💨The last of this month is Katsuma for the first time in a year🍶This was delicious with natural maitake mushrooms cooked with rice and ochiba mushrooms in miso soup🍄.
Ingredients: Gohyakumangoku
Rice polishing ratio: 50
Sake meter: +3
Acidity: 1.3
Alcohol percentage: 15-16
Huh? I was finally given the opportunity to drink this! I was honored to have Katsikoma as my first Toyama sake! After all, I was able to purchase Katsikoma, so I gave it a try! Let's get to it!
Contrary to what I had heard about the crisp sake from Hokuriku, what a mellow banana sweet aroma it had. This lured me in and I sipped it. The soft water with minerality, fruit-like freshness, banana-like sweetness, and overwhelmingly delicious rice flavor married together! After that, the astringent taste emerged and then disappeared, leaving behind a strong sharpness. The astringency then seemed to rise and disappear, leaving behind a strong sharpness. The salted balance of sweetness and dryness is a work of art. It is a devilishly good sake that you don't want to finish even though it goes down smoothly. This is the best sake in Toyama. I drank it all in an hour. I'm going to save up my points again.
Thanks again for the food tonight!
Good evening, Kosuke! Yes, both Toyobai and Katsuma have the charm and ability to be slurped down regardless of their weight, which makes me feel happy or sad about my physical health lol.
I wish they were both more readily available...
Good evening, Ubyon!
I can't afford to buy them easily!
When I meet them, I buy them immediately!
I was able to get Toyobai's Akizuki this year, too, so I will enjoy it carefully from now on.
I will enjoy them from now on 😋.
I go to Toyama every year to buy Kachikoma.
Good evening, Kosuke-san!
I think that if Toyobai could spread to mainstay sake shops like Hasegawa-san and IMADEYA-san, it could create a boom similar to that of Tasake, but is that just my imagination?
I'm looking forward to drinking Toyobai's sake in a while!
Good evening, Uppion!
Toyobai doesn't come up very often!
But maybe that's what makes it so good!
I'm going to Hirosaki for a drink: ❗️
Soon, I'll be dancing to the direct pumping...❤️
