A cup to compare on a business trip.
I had an image of Aruzoe as refreshing, but I found it to be sweet and plum-like. I liked it because it wasn't too bitter. After that, I drank two cups.
It has a light mouthfeel with a hint of fizziness, and a soft umami flavor that quickly spreads in the mouth.
The aftertaste is clean and crisp with just a hint of bitterness.
It is not spectacular, but it is refreshing and cozy.
I have not been able to drink sake for a while due to poor health. It has been a long time since I have had sake.
Soft on the palate, smooth in the mouth, not austere but with an austere aroma. It seems to go well with a variety of meals.
The intoxicating aroma is intoxicating, and the acidity and umami are well balanced, making it a refreshing sake. We drank it cold, but we think it is also delicious warmed.
There was a product exhibition at SL Plaza in Shimbashi.
I found a booth in Yamagata and had a little drink.
It is made from Shonai rice, Kame-no-o, but it is a Fukui sake.
It has a smoothness that is typical of unfiltered, unpasteurized sake.
It was hard to believe it was junmai sake.
It was full-bodied and delicious.
I paired it with grilled scallops.
It was the kind of "hiyaoroshi" sake I envisioned.
Basically, it has a classic firm sake quality.
The acidity was present for a moment along with a banana-like fruitiness, leading to a gentle aftertaste. 〰︎〰︎
Freshness and maturity coexist (in a very good way), similar to Niigata sake, giving the impression that it is a hiyaoroshi from Hokuriku: ☺️
While some hiyaoroshi can be harsh, it goes well with food and you don't get tired of drinking it.
I was going to warm it up, but I drank it 💦.
I'll enjoy it next season 🍁.
