For the record. This is the sake we brought with us when we held a celebration party. At the time, due to the Corona disaster, restaurants were also accepting take-out lunches with reservations. The sake was very tasty with the elaborate rose leaflets.
Aroma: glutinous rice, mirin (sweet sake)
When served cold, the taste is mainly sweet and umami, with sourness and bitterness at the end of drinking.
When heated, the acidity comes out earlier, and the sweet aroma is released in the nose at the end of drinking.
It is a super mellow type of sake that is completely dedicated to warming up sake.
Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting ⑫
I tasted the wine after hearing from Mr. Bouken that it was an image of matured sake.
Shichiroubei Junmai Nigori Sake
I was already drunk, and the aroma was a bit creamy and matured. I only wrote down "what a taste.
I thought it was not my favorite...
I forgot to take a picture of it, so I borrowed it from bouken🙇.
Liquor Shop Okayama Tasting (11)
First Shichiroubei
I have seen it at Seijo Ishii, but I had avoided it because of the image of heated sake and aged sake😅.
Rice is Akita Sake Komachi
Rice polishing ratio 75%, Sake degree +17, Acidity 1.9, Amino acidity 3.0
Alcohol 20.5%.
It's rare to find a pure rice sake with over 20% alcohol by volume.
And it's fire-brewed, not unpasteurized.
There is no sweetness and it has a strong sense of maturity.
It tastes like matured Okuharima nigori.
This was not my favorite type😅.
I was a little curious to see how it would be when heated up.
Hi Matsuchiyo-san ☀☀
Seijo Ishii in Amagasaki always has it, but I don't think I see it much anywhere else 🤔.
I think you can find Masumi and Kuheiji anywhere. I think the other ones you can find are Sei and Dewazakura 😀.
Shichiroubei's Takenami Sake Brewery almost went under once during the Korona, but a local resident invested in the brewery, saying that the oldest brewery in Aomori had to remain, and it has remained to this day.
Shichiroubei is known for its heated sake.
I was allowed to drink a cup of sake before it was heated up.
At 2023BY, it is too young to be called an aged sake, but it has a slightly peculiar aged aroma when cold.
It's similar to the aged aroma of San'in (Benten Musume, San'in Togo) heated sake or Ibaraki's Tsuki no I. It's not my cup of tea 😅.
Not my cup of tea😅.
Started off with a heated to the brim at 60°C 😊.
The top aroma is a mild sweet aroma of rice.
When warmed up, the peculiar aged aroma is not bothersome at all.
In the mouth it has a mild and gentle sweetness like Kanazawa rice candy 😌.
I think it was best balanced at a temperature of about hot sake.
Even I can handle this strain when it's not aged well 😂.
It was quite delicious 🍶✨️
Third glass of heated sake. It's quite drinkable. This was also the first time I tried this sake, which was recommended by the restaurant. It was also delicious. I decided to finish last. I said it was light, but I ended up going to two more places. I woke up refreshed the next day, so maybe it was just the right amount.
#Funabori#
Purchased at a Tohoku products store in Sendai station on a recent business trip.
They let me try several and I chose the special junmai 😁.
It is a well-balanced junmai sake with a full-bodied and sweet taste, with sourness and astringency in the latter half. Is it rich and dry?
It went well with the strong flavored chinjaolo roast 😆😆.
About a week has passed since the bottle was opened due to a series of business trips. I started to feel the sweetness like honey👍.
