HIKKOMI Super spicy!
Yes, it's spicy!
It's totally different from the Hidakami Yasuke I drank before 🤔.
But it's perfect for sipping on while having snacks 👍
Hikami Junmai Daiginjo Yasuke in a gourd bottle.
We got a bottle of Yazuke on New Year's Eve last year.
The unique gourd-shaped bottle is a sight to behold, but the main ingredient is a special grade A Yamada-Nishiki from the Matsuzawa district of the former Tojo Town in Hyogo Prefecture, polished to 35% and brewed to perfection!
The name Yasuke comes from a sushi alias derived from Yoshitsune Senbonzakura, and it advocates a food sake that best matches sushi, so it is served with sushi.
The sound of the tok-tok-tok when pouring it into the sake cup is also very attractive.
The mellow, banana-like aroma of the top of the bottle invites you to take a sip, and the sake is surprisingly clean and clear. It has the deep yet elegant sweetness of special grade A Yamada-Nishiki, plenty of juicy umami, and a clean and beautiful finish.
It is an enchantingly well-balanced bottle!
When people think of dry, they think of Hitakami. When people think of Hidakami, they think of dry. Its clarity and crispness are outstanding. It is such a complete food sake that if a dish does not go well with Hidakami, the problem lies in the dish itself.
It is wonderful that it is so refreshing, easy to drink, and yet does not leave you feeling deprived.
