4-day/3-night trip to Kishu with my second son, a senior in college
Today, we enjoyed a delicious Kishu dinner at the inn.
Sake is, of course, locally brewed.
We will have black beef!
No aroma!
It has a sharp taste and goes well with everything!
Especially good with sashimi!
The food and sake were both delicious, and we were very satisfied!
However, I feel a little sad thinking that I won't be traveling with my child for 4 days and 3 nights anymore!
Good morning, Mr. Sakezan!
Good to see you and your son traveling together 🎵.
Black beef goes well with meals 😋.
We also visited a brewery this year, so it was very memorable ✨.
I hope you and your kids have a wonderful time 🤗.
Closed today. I decided to make oden, which I've been craving lately.
It's been a while since I've made it, but I'm glad my wife was pleased with how tasty it was.
This week is my birthday week, so I'm going to enjoy some sake that my wife gave me on our Wakayama sake brewery tour!
So this week we are drinking Kurogyu from the Meite Sake Brewery!
This time it's a limited edition Ocaan from Kurogyu Chaya!
Let's have it right away!
The first day
First, the aroma. It smells fruity and refreshing.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a fruity and slightly sweet taste in the back of your mouth, as well as a full-bodied, mineral-like sensation.
After that, the taste quickly disappears, and the lingering aftertaste of peel-like bitterness and a slight spiciness spreads.
It gives the impression of being rather dry, but it is easy to drink.
The second day
The taste has become more smooth, and the sweetness and umami are more pronounced than yesterday.
The lingering flow from richness and minerality to bitterness and spiciness is the same as yesterday, but the bitterness and spiciness have softened and the balance has improved.
I think I prefer the second day's taste.
Oden and sake are really a great pairing, and I am thankful to my wife for her support tonight!
Good evening, ma-ki!
Oden O O sake is the best as the weather is going to get colder✨.
After that, sake should be hot...kooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... ☝️
Good morning, ma-ki-chan 😀
Since I started drinking sake, the rate of oden has become much higher on cold days 😀.
I used to cook oden when I had time, but nowadays it's just supermarket packaged oden 🤣.
Good morning, ma-ki-🌞Sake and oden 🍢The best combination 🤤It's too nice to combine them with your wife's gift ✨Please spend your birthday week relaxing: ☺️
Thank you, Kano!
I agree 🤤When the weather gets colder, oden and sake become more and more perfect 🍢🍶.
And I can't get enough of the ku~ with hot sake 🤤!
I may have more opportunities to drink heated sake this winter 😋.
Thank you, Yasube!
Once again, I realized how well oden and sake go together, so I can understand why your oden ratio is so high 😋.
Oden from supermarkets and convenience stores are both delicious 🤤.
Thank you, Nao888!
Oden and sake are really the best 🍢🍶😋!
I had decided to drink at the right time here 😁✨✨! I had decided to drink it here, so it was great ⤴️
I think I'm going to drink too much this week😍
ma-ki-san
Hello 🍢It's time to enjoy sake with nabe (hot pot) 🤩I secretly like black beef and prefer the medium unfiltered, but I've never seen this one and I'm convinced it's a limited edition sake👍Thanks to my wife who cooks for me 😘.
Thank you, Mr. Jive!
It's the season for oden🍢, isn't it?
My family's individuality...the meat is chicken wings, and there are bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms and bacon-wrapped garland chrysanthemum as additional ingredients... 😋.
Thank you, Jay & Nobby!
And the name Ocaan was on the list~(*/□\*)
Thanks for letting us know with your funny comment 😁✨✨
We loved the oden and sake 🍢🍶😋🍶!
We received a bad review of our matchup about 3 years ago and would like to re-evaluate it, with apologies...
Jacket value ... 7/10
The combo of Japanese paper style label + black letters + green bottle is enough.
Ki ... 18/20
It has a long-range maturation smell, not only Alc but also sweetness on the tongue.
Sei... 18/20
The sweet and tasty taste and the increase in the Alc attack are characterized by the expansion of the flavor, which is more horizontal than vertical. With this much firepower, it seems like it would produce something unpleasant, but you don't feel it.
Rolling ... 19/20
The first half of the bottle has a good texture after it is allowed to settle down, and you can taste the stability of aged sake.
Yui ... 18/20
The same aroma has been smoky from the beginning, but it is effective to give it to the customer as a reminder at the end.
Cospa ... 8/10
Good price including the waiting period.
The aroma and flavor are high-fired, and the texture is good.
88 points
There is a clear "hit or miss" with heavy wines, but this one transcends this concept.
This is a wine that has a strong aroma and flavor, without any cloying taste, and does not reek of alcohol.
This may be unique to this vintage, but I feel that aging is an important factor.
At my favorite standing bar CHUIN, which has been back in business for a long time, I had not enough time to talk with the owner, Mr. Kawada, so I went to the last 🍶 of Adjunct One's ④.
We had a black beef with the store's recommended sticker "I like this".
Meite Sake Brewery in Wakayama, I learned to read "nazu" 📝.
This sake is named after the famous Kurogyu Lagoon in Kainan City, the brewery's hometown🐃.
The appearance is crystal with yellowish green tints, almost transparent.
The aroma is classic with a pleasant sweetness that is also fruity and slightly cool alcoholic.
The rice aroma is also powdery and rich.
In the mouth, it has a smooth texture.
It has a very moderate rice sweetness and a classic acidity that seems to have a sharp core.
The alcohol is crisply released, while the warmth and sweetness of the alcohol linger in the aftertaste.
I personally am not a fan of classic sake, but this one has a freshness and fruity quality that is quite nice.
The restaurant is getting crowded, so I'll leave it at this.
After all, it is a special occasion to celebrate my sake master's discharge from the hospital, and as always, sake is a special thing to savor while quietly chatting with him 🍶.
When Mr. Kawada is able to drink again, I will visit him again to discuss sake with him with my sake recommendations!
Thank you for the sake 🍶.
Hello Aladdin-san 🐦🐦🐦.
I'm glad Mr. Kawada is out of the hospital & back to work 😊It was 4 drinks that Aladdin-san seemed to enjoy 🎶.
I see you read "naz" 😳I just learned that now 😆🙏🙏.
Good morning, Pon-chan 😃.
I will post more later, but Kawada-san has been re-admitted to the hospital and undergone another surgery 😌 (with your permission to disclose this information: 🙇♂️).
I just wish you a safe recovery so that we can have such a good time again 🙏.
This is a comment from an amateur drinker. Today, I made nigirizushi lightly at home because I had leftover tuna from the other day and fresh horse mackerel available. Unlike the usual junmai sake, this Kurogyu had the strength of a bullfighting bull. However, it was not only strong but also gently sweet and soft. The dryness continues to have character, and I am always impressed by the breadth of Kurogyu. We are thankful for another delicious sake today! Cheers to all!
Cow from monkey
The rest of the mountain monkeys, black cows from men's wine, women's wine
Is that what No. 9 can do?
It's the depth of sake that can be understood by comparing them.
