(2) at a drinking party with some people from my office sometime ago.
Of course I don't have any tasting notes, so this is a log for the record 😅.
A drinking party with colleagues who know each other well.
The organizer was very considerate and chose a restaurant that serves Sake, so out of respect, I only drank Sake 🍶.
(I didn't drink as much as the other sake drinkers at Sake no Wa 😄)
Next, I wanted to try a sake I had never had before, so here it is.
This is Kanazawa-ya from Kita no Hana Sake Brewery in Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture 🍶.
The rice used is not stated on the label, but it seems to be Fukushima Prefecture's original rice called "Satoyama no Tsubu"!
The aroma is mild, apparently using No. 9 series yeast.
The taste is dry with a hint of sweetness, but it is also dry with a hint of spiciness 😅.
When I drink with colleagues who know each other well, I am so distracted by talking and listening that it is difficult to do a precise tasting (or rather, to keep a concrete memory of the aroma and taste I felt at that time) 😌.
I'm not sure I'm capable of doing this, but it was a drunken drink during a meal 🍶.
Dry Junmai Kanazawa-ya +10
Dry sake with good flavor
Sake that you can eat rice with.
I can't eat without drinking sake, but I'm not unhappy.
But I am not unhappy.
It's dry, but it has a lot of umami.
It's good, isn't it?
Sweet per se.
The richness of the flavor in the mid-palate is not persistent and sizzling.
A little fullness lingers in the aftertaste but is released.
Alcoholic rather than floral aroma
It does not have a sweetness to it.
Mild and easy to drink at the moment of putting it in the mouth with strong acidity, but it becomes heavier quickly.
Aroma and taste like a heavy white wine
Kanazawa-ya (department store)
Although it was a little dry and had some gorgeous aromas, I ordered it last, so I had almost no idea what it tasted like.
The origin is from Chuzo Kanazawa-ya I.
Currently, Rie Hoshi, the fourth-generation brewer, is also the toji (chief brewer) and brews mainly low-temperature, long-fermentation sake using TUA yeast and dream yeast.
Next is another summer sake. But it is junmai unfiltered.
It is tri and has a sharp taste, but I like it even more because of the nigori feeling that lingers in the mouth a little.
