The mornings and evenings are getting colder, and it's the time of year when I miss hot sake!
So, at Murata, a place I always go to, I asked for "a good heated sake, I can't remember the name, where my brother (now at Murata) went for his training"!
So, this sake from Fukumitsuya was served!
First, cold sake!
The aroma of sake!
As it is called "super dry" sake, it has a sharpness, but it is not sharp, and the acidity remains slowly, making it delicious!
Now, let's try heating it up.
The sake-like aroma remains the same, but it becomes clearer, and there is a hint of bitterness in addition to the acidity.
I thought heated sake should have something to eat, so I added some pickled daikon radish and thinly sliced bamboo rings.
The sake washes away the smell, leaving only the umami.
I'm so happy!
This is my eighth post from the San Francisco Bay Area. I've been busy with work lately, and, I realized, it's my 38th birthday. This sake was carefully stored. Elegant, rich, sweet aroma, with a strong kick after a solid sense of roundness.
I toasted to the day when I will be able to drink a lot of sake when I return to Japan next month. I wish I could drink sake that I can't drink in San Francisco with all you sake lovers 🙌!
Overall, it is refreshing and fruity. The acidity is the predominant flavor from start to finish, with sweetness and umami following in its wake from the mid-palate. It has a nice lightness and lightness characteristic of dry sake from the Hokuriku region, which also calls itself "dry".
