Nagasawa Shuzo
Hidaka, Saitama
◎Because it is sold only at Nagasawa Shuzo's brewery, there is no bar code on the bottle, but it seems a shame that it is not available in stores. It has a light amber color and is relatively mild in the mouth, so I did not think it had 18% alcohol by volume until I saw the bottle number.
It seems to go well with oden and ganmodoki.
Sharing a bottle of "Korai-oh Junmai-shu" with everyone.
The bottle has a print of higanbana (cluster amaryllis) in the Kinchida rice paddy.
It is said to have a nice aroma...but I can't tell because of a stuffy nose.
We could tell that it was an elegant sake, and that the oiliness of fried food disappeared nicely.
It has a moderate flavor and is easy to drink. The smell of alcohol is a little strong after drinking. It tastes better at room temperature than cold. It is best served with light snacks.
We visited the new sake sales event at Nagasawa Sake Brewery. The sake is so shwashy that it is not legal to open the bottle in one gulp and it blows out.
I was able to open the bottle successfully for the first time with this kind of sake by repeatedly loosening and tightening the lid.
Unlike its appearance, it is not sweet. The brewer said it was "dry" and the price was 1650 yen.
I also bought a sake manju, which was delicious and had a very nice aroma. It seems to be a collaboration with Kameya, a Japanese sweets shop in Hidaka City.
The amazake (sweet sake), which is not shown in the photo, was also delicious.
