Good evening, and welcome to another installment of the "Firsts" series. We have had a few drinks at outside drinking events, but this is the first time we have had drinks at home 💁.
SAKAYA Hachibei Yamadanishiki Namaishiki Namaishimo Junmai Namaeshu 2024BY✨
We're looking forward to opening this bottle of raw sake from Hachibei, a not-so-careless Hachibei in Mie: ☺️
First of all, the aroma is of lactic fermentation of yogurt, probably due to the yeast and yeast strain of the sake brewery. Personally, I like yogurt, so I don't mind it at all, but first-time drinkers may be a bit surprised 😳 The taste is surprisingly mild, with a creamy lactic acidity and a direct enjoyment of the delicious rice flavor. The aftertaste is not dry and is designed to be easy to drink, so you can enjoy it 😋😋😋😋😋.
Hachibei, let's check out their other brands next time ✅.
Today, I warmed up the sake in the microwave for 40 minutes, because the sake as it was out of the refrigerator was a bit lacking in depth of flavor for me.
The aroma is a fluffy sake aroma,❗️ and when you take a sip, a sharp sweetness spreads in your mouth, followed by a slight bitterness,❗️ and the heated sake is good as a food sake,⭕️
Second round of drinks at my favorite yakitori restaurant, Hachibei the Sake Shop by Motosaka Sake Brewery.
This time it's 88 nights
So, I'm going to have it right away!
First, the aroma. The aroma is not so strong.
In the mouth, the umami and spiciness are impressive!
The mouthfeel is very beautiful.
The lingering aftertaste is not too strong and pungent.
The waiter told me that it was a little dry, but it was a very tasty sake with a strong umami and a refreshing feeling.
Good evening, ma-ki-chan!
As expected from your favorite restaurant, you know what ma-ki-san likes... I have never seen sake from Mie Prefecture before, but it is also delicious with a strong flavor!
Thanks for your comment ichiro18!
Yes 🎵It's less frequent than other regulars, but I feel like you've got my taste down pat 😋.
That's right! It's a delicious sake with a strong flavor 😊.
