Merry Christmas!
Yesterday I opened a bottle of wine, but with the usual cold yakko and persimmon peas as a snack, it wasn't enough!
Today I'm going to go back to my day job and have some sake.
Still more autumnal sake!
Hazen Hakubai's Tawarayuki series for heating up!
Sake that is right on the edge between matured and a bit twitchy is really good!
Chocolatey, rich and sweet.
I still want to try it warmed up in winter!
The rounded umami and sweetness spread across the palate, giving it an indescribable sense of fullness.
Cold yakko and chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) as a side dish.
Thank you Jesus!
I decided to make a snack with beef as well, since I have made chicken and pork together, and it went surprisingly well with meat.
I used more mirin (sweet cooking rice wine), which was good for the sweetness of the meat.
I buy too much and can't digest it all, so I keep changing my entrée every day to enjoy sake. Fish, chicken, then pork. I tried pork thigh with miso, but chicken was more suitable than pork.
I thought it would be better if it was less oily, but pork loin with the same seasoning was better.
The depth of this dish is very deep!
We made it snow cold and compared it with Kyo Chitose. Both are good, though not as distinct as the Kyo Chitose, and both have a depth to them.
Hazen Hakubai always seems to have a different image in the mouthfeel and aftertaste.
Not open? Is it a feeling, or is there a smoldering in the back with a faint aroma. This girl must have a very high potential. I want to enjoy it slowly, changing the way I drink it and the accompaniments.
I made grilled cod with salted malt in a hurry, but it would be better with a more rich meal.
