From the brewery's installation.
'Tempura with spring ingredients, give it a try!'
and decided to open the package immediately!
I will try it - 🤚🏻!
I got assorted tempura and cod sprout tempura at a local supermarket.
I'll heat it up in my helcio and serve it...
The sweetness is hardly noticeable, and the aroma is subdued.
It lacks the sweet and sour taste characteristic of Wataya, and is much lighter than usual.
You might not know it's cotton-ya unless you are told, but this is delicious. Indeed, it goes well with tempura.
I think it is good not only for tempura, but also for spring taste in general.
On a business trip to Sendai some time ago, I bought some as a souvenir for myself at Mutoya, a liquor store in Sendai Station. I thought it would be fun to have a drink at the stand bar inside the store, but I felt guilty about drinking after 3:00 p.m., even though it was a business trip.
As I was looking around for something to buy, I overheard a young couple next to me saying, "Who doesn't love cotton stores?
The sweetness was thick, with plenty of presence, and had a Japanese-style confectionary-like atmosphere. Unlike fruit sweetness, there is no sourness at all. It seems to go well with teriyaki or sweet and spicy snacks!
15°, rice polishing ratio 55%, sake degree +3, acidity 1.5, Miyagi yeast, Awa Yamadanishiki.
Dry sake with light acidity🍶.
We drank 6 sake in a row from the Kurihara City and Kurikoma Mountain area, and while they were all refreshing, this one tasted a little different and had a stronger umami flavor.
I think that the R4BY sake is left to mature for about two years before being shipped, and that is why it has a mellower umami flavor.
I would like to try the Kawaguchi natto here at some point.
A bottle that you don't see too often!
It seems soft and put together in a nice way.
Delicious with a hint of sourness 😆.
The aroma is also gorgeous ✨.
Wataya Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 45 Polish
I received this bottle as a year-end gift, but could not open it for a long time, so I opened it with a friend 🍶.
The ginjo aroma of a daiginjo is subdued, but the flavor of Yamadanishiki is well balanced with sweetness and acidity.
I drank the whole bottle in one go 💦.
