Fresh and crisp, as if it were made with new rice. It is not so sweet, but has a strong acidity, making it a crisp nigori sake. This year's white sake is also very good.
Colorless pink cloudy, made with new sake. Mellow and quite sweet. It is now a liqueur. I didn't know rice could be this sweet. Fermentation is amazing!
This is followed by a review of Honor Pond Moon!
A third of the bottle was ori, so it was quite creamy!
I described the earlier Li Bai as silky on the palate,
This one is velvety smooth 😳.
It has a very rich and luxurious mouthfeel💓
Even though it looks quite rich.
but it's light and delicious with a light and airy texture...
It's a horrible thing that doesn't leave a weird residue in your mouth and you can drink it in gulps.
The aroma has a yogurt-like lactic acidity...
At any rate, Shimane sake is also delicious 👍✨.
Now, on to the main topic!
On the evening of Sunday 12/29 in Tokyo (Yamanote Line station)
I'm looking for someone to have sake with me on the evening of Sunday 12/29 in Tokyo (at a station on the Yamanote line) 😆.
Please see the third picture for more details!
First 3 people to arrive! The restaurant is pretty quirky, but
The sake and food are delicious. ❣️
MerryXmas🎅🎄, Kashu!
It's been a long time 😊I'm glad to see you back in full force!
I'd love to join you if you were closer 😢.
You are so polite to write even about the sharing of seats 😊.
This is good!
Basically dry, but with a hint of sweetness from the rice.
It has a strong but gentle "chuwa" taste.
There are several famous nigori in the sake industry, but this one is by no means inferior to them. I feel like I'm getting a lot out of this one.
It is also interesting to compare with Oku.
Oku is a straight, straight-edged sake. Ikezuki's is an under-thrower.
Both of them are good, and their pitch distribution is fun.
At "Kohaku" in Marutamachi Tominokoji, Kyoto.
It was made in a wooden vat and polished to 60.5%, 2023BY.
It has a firm body and still has a lively rice aroma, but it cuts well.
A little more autumn sake before it gets cold. Polishing ratio 60%, Yamadanishiki. The ingredients are 100% Shimane rice and rice malt.
This time we served it mostly at room temperature. It has a gentle flavor, and of course it would be delicious chilled, but I felt that if it were chilled to a crisp, it would lose its gentle, omnidirectional network of flavors. I like the sourness that lingers in the aftertaste.
I am pairing it with grilled chicken with salted malted rice, potato salad, and pumpkin with minced chicken.
Rich and voluptuous flavor, sweetness and acidity.
It is very drinkable.
The impression is that it is a beautiful sake, perhaps because it has no astringency.
Today's accompaniment is the "Autumn Shako" that my wife bought at the Inyu morning market.
When I ate it in Honshu as a sushi dish, I said to myself, "Why is this fish in here?
When I ate it with sushi items in Honshu, I was like, "Why is this stuff in here?" And that too...
I had eaten it in expensive sushi restaurants in Honshu, and I was like, "Why is this fish in my sushi?
It was so delicious that it overturned my impression of "Why is this fish included in sushi?
Oh, and sake to go with it!
This is the third bottle that my wife brought back from her Izumo-taisha pilgrimage!
This is really good, with a clear fruit aroma!
It is sweet despite the sake level of +2,
It has a penetrating flavor, and it doesn't feel like alcohol at all!
It is a fresh drink without feeling like alcohol at all!
The problem is that the distributor is in Asahikawa during the snowy season,
It's hard to drive 130km one way!
