At Calendar, a standing bar at JR Otsu station.
Actually, we ran out of one sake to compare and were short of 45ml 😌.
The owner offered me a free sake for that amount! I took their word for it and got an additional 1🍶.
The sake of choice here is Buroisen Yamahai Special Junmai Harazake aged for 3 years.
It was the manager's recommendation! You know what I mean 😁.
The aroma of the sake is very calm and matured.
Shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, pre-shaved Parmigiano Reggiano, fermented butter.
Slight clove, cypress and dried herbs too.
Aroma of rice.
Smooth texture.
Nice spread of rounded acidity with a soft sweetness and a moist fullness.
It has a unique flavor that is a combination of sourness and umami.
It gradually seeps into the mouth while softly expanding, and finishes beautifully.
The finish is sharp with a firm aftertaste.
The sweetness, acidity, and umami rounded out by aging are very intoxicating.
The aroma is for picky drinkers, but the taste is superb.
I would like to warm this up.
The staff is very nice, and the sake seems to change with the seasons!
Thanks for the food 🍶.
Good evening, Aladdin. I didn't know such a nice coin server was built in Otsu. I'll go there next time too! And it's precious to hear Aladdin's comments on the Buroisen's San-nen Aged 🧐✨.
Hi Hirupeko 😃
I'm drunk because I can drink a little bit of various Shiga sake: ☺️
I don't usually drink sake for heating up, but I like it and it's inevitable when talking about Shiga sake, so let's get into it this time 🍶😁.
It has a strong umami and sweetness typical of Furoizumi. However, it also has a sourness that is typical of the raw sake. It seems to go well with nuts.
