It's that time of year again 👏!
This is the third year in a row that I have been able to drink Tedorigawa Winter Junmai, the sake that got me hooked on the sake swamp.
This year it was sent to me by Sake Kuzu, who told me about it at the time: 🙇♀️
Opened the bottle at the end of the year. It is still delicious!
The aroma is fruity, and in the mouth it has a slight sweetness with a slight chilliness.
It was so good that it was emptied around New Year's Eve 😋.
Well, the year 2026 has begun!
Happy New Year ✨
Lots of drinking to go this year 💪.
The last day of the year was at Tedorigawa River!
We had it with New Year's Eve soba noodles!
It has a fresh mouthfeel,
It has a fresh mouthfeel and a strong umami flavor,
It is easy to drink!
The aftertaste is a little spicy.
Polishing ratio 40%. It is very clean in the mouth, without any cloying taste, with a subtle sweetness and a clean taste that goes down the throat. The aftertaste is clean and crisp, and although I felt the sharpness was stronger when the sake was cooled down, it became clearer as the temperature dropped. I paired it with sukiyaki, and it was a great sake that could soften the aftertaste while taking advantage of the richness of the sukiyaki.
