Third in the Saga Series
As the label suggests, this sake was made to go with Saga beef. (It was introduced to us at Ishimaru Sake Shop in Saga).
It has a good acidity and sharpness, making it perfect for beef dishes.
It is recommended with slightly fatty dishes such as steak.
Since we wanted to drink sake from Saga Prefecture, the third bottle was Matsuura Ichi red label, junmai sake. We had this one heated up as well.
With a rice polishing ratio of 70%, it had a little body.
I got the impression that the flavor would increase if the sake was aged, and it was drier than I expected.
It was drier than I expected. This is the kind of robust sake I like to drink slowly.
My favorite sagas are the humble sakes. Toichi, Tenzan, and Matsuuraichi.
This junmai sake is really an orthodox, traditional sake with no characteristics.
The world is in the mood for GW.
I had a cup of sake with sweet mackerel miso and a cup of hot water.
The fact that they can go right to the middle of the traditional sake is a sign that they have absolute confidence in their sake.
Delicious.
