Fresh and slightly melon-like aroma
Light acidity with a gaseous sensation that spreads to the palate.
The sweetness is subdued, but not too light and well-balanced.
The second half of the wine is fresh and fades away quickly and lightly.
I bought some sake to drink at my parents' house at the Hasegawa Sake Shop in Tokyo Station as a gift (well, I drink it, too). I thought I had never tried Aizan, which is a sake with a package tag, so I decided to try it. I decided to try it with grilled prawns.
Aizan is made from 80% Aizan (special grade) produced in Hyogo Prefecture. Polishing ratio 50%, alcohol content 13%.
As always, the sake is delicious.
Good morning, NASUMAN404!
It's nice to have a drink with your family at Kafuda's ✨.
I also had the Aizan from Nippatsu-san the other day, and it is a stable deliciousness 😋.
I wanted to drink and picked up the packing slip.
It is as fresh and light as it can be,
It is moderately sweet and fresh at first, but in the second half, it disappears easily with a short aftertaste.
It is also delicious.
The freshness of the freshly squeezed juice and gas are nice.
It seems as if it will run out soon,
It also goes well with tsumami.
You can't go wrong with this brand.
I saw this at a liquor store on my trip and just had to try it...!
It was a little gassy and fruity at the beginning, but as the gas drained out, the sweetness became more robust, and I personally liked it better than right after opening the bottle 🥰.
We received a bottle of Kamo Nishiki's Kafuda-shu Yellow Narcissus.
I have not had Kamo Nishiki for about 18 months.
When I lived in Niigata 15 years ago, there was no kafuda-shu, and Kamo Nishiki was considered to be the evening drink of my father's generation.
Two years ago, when I first became interested in sake, I heard that the young toji of Kamo Nishiki was making a modern sake that was becoming popular, and the first sake I bought and drank was Kafuda-shu Short-stalked Watabune. I remember being shocked at the paradigm shift that had taken place over the past 15 years.
Now, for my first kafuda-shu in a long time, I chose Kwangsuisen because I wanted to taste its "character. Personally, I felt that Hwangsuisen was somehow the entry line of the packaged sake.
When I drank it, I felt the same sweet and juicy flavor that I also felt in the short stick ferry. Rather than a gentle and refined deliciousness, it gives the impression of being lively, vibrant and fresh. The rich sweetness like tropical fruits and the sharp acidity are right in the middle of the trend.
What makes Kafuda-shu different from others is that you can feel the alcohol taste through the nose, a slight spiciness, and a lingering bitterness that is typical of Niigata sake.
I wonder if I would have enjoyed it if I had had it back when I thought dry sake was supreme.
After the Motoharu Sano concert, I had a quick drink before returning to the hotel.
Jikin is 800 yen per sake? That's cheaper than Kafuda and Hiroki...
They were out of stock, but...
I hadn't had a bottle of Hifuroki for a while, so I chose this one.
It's kind of watery...
Isn't it filled with water?
It's easy to drink, but...
Was it like this?
Is it light because it's Koshi-tanrei?
It's been a while, so I don't know,
