At a soba noodle restaurant, I had zaru soba and sake.
I ordered Ryu-ryoku, which I had never had before.
It was said to be dry, but it was easy to drink with a soft sweetness and sourness.
The aftertaste was dry and sharp with a moderate bitterness.
It went well with soba noodles.
Delicious!
At the usual restaurant
The second drink is Ryuriki. Recommended by a friend.
The spiciness of the honjozo sake and the sweetness of the aftertaste were in harmony.
It was a good sake.
Unlike modern sake with a hint of sweetness, this is a classic sake of the main road...a cup that allows you to enjoy the deep and fresh taste of rice.
It is said to be a gold medal winning sake from Ryuriki.
It is silver-crystal in color.
Ginjo aroma of apple, pear, banana, and melon, with joshin powder.
The attack is strong and mildly sweet.
The impression of sweetness does not give much impression of acidity. Fruit flavors extend pleasantly.
It is delicious, but the impression is that it is a bit heavy and not that much is good.
