The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (3)-2
Continued.
Special Junmai Sake
Purchased and drunk at Yodobashi in the past.
It is made from Gohyakumangoku sake produced in Honshu. It tastes just like sake.
The brewer said it goes well with sushi, and I really agree. In my previous post, I wrote that it tastes like a veteran enka singer 🤣.
Darvish drank this sake when he was a member of the Fighters and liked Kunimei.
Hokkaido limited edition Junmai Ginjo
This is also made with Ginpu.
Unlike previous sake, this one has a gorgeous ginjo aroma.
The taste is gentle and refreshing.
Hokkaido Limited Edition Junmai Daiginjo
Kitashizuku with a 35% rice polishing ratio and a high-cost price of a little over 3,000 yen.
Gorgeous fruity and elegant taste.
I thought it was good for New Year's 😁.
Kuniumare Daiginjo
Yamadanishiki 35% polished rice
Is it lighter than the Jun Daiginjo-Kitashizuku?
Very elegant taste.
I thought, basically there are almost no sweet sake in Hokkaido 🤔.
I wonder if it is inevitable when you want to match it with seafood?
The 3rd Yodobashi Umeda National Sake Festival (3)-1
I have the impression that Kunimeki is only available at Yodobashi events 🤔.
Kunimei Kaisen, a famous sake from Mashike
900ml bottle and label looks classic.
It is now a rare type of sake with added sugar. It is a refreshingly light sake with a hint of sweetness. Suitable for eating as its assertiveness is modest.
Hokkai Onikoroshi Genzake R40
This sake was released in its original form to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Hokkai Onikoroshi. The normal Onikoroshi is 17 degrees and this one is 20.5 degrees 😳.
It is thicker and punchier than the first one.
It is also good to drink on the rocks!
Junmai Ginpu Kunimare
The first two were alsobe, and from here on, the taste changes drastically with Junmai. It is a refreshing mid-meal drink.
I think I personally don't like the dryness of Junmai specs more than the dryness of Aru Soze 🤔.
I was allowed to drink all the varieties, so I'm running out of characters and will continue...
Umami 4/5 Slightly sweet
Aroma 2/5 Slight aroma
Miscellaneous taste 2/5 Because it is 55%, it has a moderate harshness and is easy to drink
It is characterized by a refreshing sweetness. It is not spicy, so it is easy to drink. It may go well with sweet ingredients of the same lineage (e.g., Hokiyori mussels).
I think I had bought it on a business trip three years ago. I completely forgot to drink it. If it had been hiyaoroshi, I would have wanted to drink it sooner. It is full-bodied, deep, and good, just like hiyaoroshi.
