I thought it would be quite dry, but it is surprisingly easy to drink. It has a strong umami flavor and a spicy aftertaste, but not too strong.
I drank it with salted squid, and it was a perfect match 👌.
Today is the day of the National Warriors.
Since I can't open a four-pack of sake every day, I went to the supermarket and bought a small 300ml bottle.
Polishing ratio 60%, alcohol between 15 and 16 degrees. The rice used for the sake is Comet from Hokkaido.
Sweeter and mellower than expected. Slightly traditional flavor with a sake-like feel.
Comet is a promising star of Hokkaido's sake rice (just because it is a comet) and is expected to produce a light-flavored sake. I like the name because it is cool.
The delicious taste of rice spreads firmly in the mouth.
Yet, the sweetness is not too strong.
Good aroma through the nose
And dry with a sharp taste.
100% Hokkaido grown Kitashizuku
Taisetsu mountain range subsoil water
Limited edition sake for New Chitose Airport.
Not even the Asahikawa brewery sells this sake.
People are weak against the word "limited" 😅.
An item from a charity auction at work.
It seems to have been sleeping for a long time, and its color has changed to a very yellowish color
The aroma is said to be fruity, pear-like...
It tastes like a cask sake.
Maybe it can be served warmed up.
