🏆2023 10 private sake selections
This is a limited brand of Jyobari for special dealers. This is the last one as Jyobari is sold out 😢1.5 year liquor store raw aging.
It is considered to be hard right after opening the bottle, so it is warmed up.
40℃. It has a subtle aroma of alcohol. It is a bit sweet like orange or peach, and the spiciness of the alcohol comes in together. 45℃ is similar, but the sweetness is a bit stronger.
As the days go by, more emphasis is placed on the sharpness.
On the fifth or sixth day, the sake is served cold, close to room temperature. At this temperature, the sweetness is less pronounced and the spiciness is more pronounced.
On the 7th day, warm it up again. It is good even when the temperature is raised to 50℃.
It is a very well made sake. The sweetness is a little more noticeable and mellow, but it has the crispness that is typical of jodari.
If possible, I would like to see the new brand of Morai not to change its line so much, but to pursue its umami and sharpness and refine it even more.
Good morning, Matsuchiyo-san: ☀️
I had thought that was it with the continued lack of inventory at Jyobari, but was surprised to see it in the press 😳.
