It is a strong sake that aims at the limit (numerical value) of sake.
The aroma is like burnt barley and enadryl.
It is bitter and spicy! The impact is evident in the high alcohol content.
Aromatic grain flavor. Reminiscent of whiskey.
Grain acidity.
The umami is solid (firm and tight)!
It is sharp and spicy after swallowing.
Thanks to the fact that it is a honjozo, it doesn't lean.
Let's drink it slowly.
Taste 3.5/5
This will be a comment from an amateur sake lover. Today I visited the Tsukii Sake Brewery in Oarai, Ibaraki. I was able to purchase some of the sake here. I also had the precious opportunity to talk with the master brewer. He gave us an in-depth talk about his philosophy of sake brewing and what Tsuki no I is all about. It was a great learning experience. I am grateful for the opportunity. Today, I also bought some anglerfish boiled in soy sauce and paired it with Oarai's wonderful sake! I have enjoyed drinking Hiko-ichi for a long time, but each time the taste matures, or rather, each time is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I am thankful to be able to drink good sake today in good health.
Here it is today!
I stopped by the Tsuki no I Sake Brewery in Oarai and bought this. I drank it at room temperature as recommended and was very satisfied with the soft taste. Tomorrow I will drink it warm!
Monkfish hot pot + ferry + sake
Sake with a little sourness.
Perfect for a pot with a strong flavor 🍲.
Local food and local sake is the best luxury 😀😀😀
More and more customers arrived at the restaurant...
I'm glad we got in early!
Hello, Pon-chan.
I was just looking at the ferry.
It looks like a new ship, and I wanted to go on it!
I had a one-pot dish and finished with rice porridge, it was delicious!
