Sake of Fukui
Sake with a good old-fashioned sake feel.
I expected it to be a bit more robust since it is a pure sake, but it was not very robust.
7/10
The last weekend lunchtime event of the year will feature four types of sake. We will start with Asukai's Asukai Junmai Nakadori Unfiltered Nama Sake made with Gohyakumangoku from Fukui💛.
The nose is slightly citrus yogurt.
Contains and dry taste.
Somewhat spicy, like green bamboo and earth.
Slightly light flavor.
Goes well with dashi (Japanese soup stock).
A mild food sake.
Taste level ☆3/5
It's kind of like honey-soaked herbs,
It's an aroma I've smelled before...youthfulness.
Clear rice and sweetness on the palate. Sharp acidity.
A hint of apple-like fruitiness.
Smooth mouthfeel with a touch of minerality.
Later on, bitterness and umami add a little depth.
It is a refreshing and delicious sake with a touch of rice.
Turnip with pickled ume plum...goes well with light meals.
When it is lukewarm, it has a graininess.
Taste level ☆3.5/5
It is a mellow, sukitto-style sake with the same lovely label. It has a refreshing taste and can be enjoyed either hot or cold. It has almost no sweetness, so I think it goes well with a variety of snacks as a food sake.
Light golden yellow.
Banana and pineapple aroma. Small white flowers.
Beautiful sweetness and refreshing acidity. Delicious even at room temperature.
It is also delicious when heated.
Quiet umami and mild tastiness. More like a hot sake from Shizuoka or some other region than a hot sake from the San'in region.
Beautifully heated.
Some natural wine stores have heated sake, but if you want to pair it with naturals, this is probably a better choice than the Sanin type.
It's easy to pair with everyday meals.
What is this label?
The endorsement is on the front.
First time to drink Fukui sake
Crisp and dry.
Just right for pairing with the packaged sake!
I ordered the entrée first!
They came out one after another!
The restaurant was full again this day!
