This is one of the many spring-only sake that I bought when I returned to Akita.
It has a robust flavor and I look forward to drinking up the oriki that collects at the bottom of the bottle.
Summer is already here, so I need to drink the others soon!
A slight gassy sensation is felt in the mouth.
I thought it was a new sake, but I was told it was an aged sake. I was a little surprised!
The taste is clear and juicy with no cloying taste. It is truly a silky snow.
I was kind of in the mood for a good drink.
I went to my usual restaurant, Kurimoto ✨.
I knew I couldn't go wrong with the sake recommended here 😊.
I found a sake that I want to buy more!
I'm frustrated that I can't express how good it tastes!
The one with the gold classic label.
I don't have a picture of it because I just got a taste of my buddy's.
It has a crisp acidity and spiciness.
It has a crisp acidity and dryness, but it also has the richness of rice.
The back palate has the fullness of unrefined sake, yet it is tight and sharp.
It makes me want to have something strong with it.
3/5 stars for my taste.
I have been fishing for a long time.
One tenya for sea bream, but I only caught 9 snapper. 😭⤵⤵.
But when I processed them, I found that they had a firm fatty flesh, and I might have been glad that the result was better than sea bream at this time of the year 🤗.
I'm not a sore loser by any means 🤣.
I had sashimi, hot-broiled pine bark sashimi, and grilled sea bream 🤓.
The sashimi has a sticky fat taste, the yuzumo matsubikazukuri is nice and refreshing, and the shioyaki is so full of flavor that it soaks up the fat and is fluffy and delicious 😋.
To go with this dish was Kariho no Haru kawasemi light nigori (light nigori).
As you can see from the slightly elegant sweet aroma, it is a spring sake with a gentle sweetness and a fresh taste with a clean aftertaste that goes well with sashimi.
I drank it last year, but all of Kariho's kawasemi series are delicious 🤩.
★★★★★
Good evening, Mr. Kuri the woodsman!
It's great to have a drink with fish you caught yourself. ⤴️
I haven't had Kariho yet, but it's a quintessential Akita sake and looks perfect with sashimi 🤤.
I'd like to try the Kingfisher series if I come across it 😋.
Good morning, ma-ki-san!
I finished off the meal with tai meshi & dashi chazuke with broth from the sea bream.
It's great to drink from the fish you caught 😃⤴
The kingfish series is delicious, so please drink it if you find it. 🤓
This is a limited edition sake found at the airport during a business trip to Akita. As usual, I am a sucker for limited editions.
It is a junmai daiginjo, but the aroma and sweetness are not strong, and it is a refreshing sake that goes well with a meal.
