My first Ehime sake! 🍊
The company remembered that I told them I had yet to try Ehime sake, so they bought some for me 😭(I'm so glad).
They said it goes well with fish, so we got some sushi and had dinner 🍣.
Looking at the chart of Sake-no-wa, I thought it wouldn't be too palatable, but sure enough, I don't think I like the taste very much.
It has a clear, refreshing taste with almost no off-flavors, but the umami flavor slowly spreads in the aftertaste. It is dry.... It certainly goes well with fish.
It's not my favorite, but I was so surprised that he bought it for me that I was able to work warmly all day today.
I had to work today.
After work, I went to a liquor store in Morinomiya to pick up some sake.
I found a bottle of Pure Black that I wanted to try, so I bought another bottle!
Once again, the cellar was overflowing!
After that, I met up with my wife and we went to our favorite yakitori restaurant!
The first drink at our favorite yakitori restaurant was our first brewery, Shimada Shuzo's Kofuji!
This time it was a Daiginjo!
This is the first time I've seen this sake, so I'm looking forward to it!
Let's have it right away!
First, the aroma. It has a refreshing aroma.
The first impression on the palate is that it has a beautiful mouthfeel.
It has a smooth, slightly sweet, slightly bitter, slightly fruity, and slightly salty taste without any stimulation.
This is the first time I have tasted Kofuji, and it is a very gentle and beautiful sake!
The third picture is the sake we brought today!
Good evening, ma-ki-😃.
My cellar is panned too 😅.
I always reach for it when I get curious at the liquor store💦.
Tonight it's from Ehime sake 🍶.
It's in a neighboring prefecture, but I haven't been able to get my hands on much, so this is helpful.
Thank you, soumacho!
I know - when you go to a liquor store, you always end up with something you didn't plan to buy 😅.
That's right - I started off by jumping on a rare Ehime sake 😋.
Thank you ICHIRO18, thank you here too!
It was my first time to try Kofuji too😲.
It was so mild and clean that some people thought it had no character, but it was very easy to drink 😋.
I love this store 🤗
Fuji in Ehime?
According to the Internet, "The sake "Kofuji" is named after "Iyo-no-Kofuji," an island off the coast of Matsuyama, which can be seen from the brewery in the distance.
Compared to Eikan, it tastes more like a dry sake, with a clean, stripped-down flavor that goes well with meals.
