Good evening, it's the weekend before a 3-day weekend and I'm going to stay home and be quiet and work on my drinking 😊 Well, it's been a while since I've opened a bottle of this craft saké 💁.
TSUCHIDA × TSUKE
KIMOTO HOP NIGORI 2024.6 🍶.
The top clear liquid poured into the sake cup has a light pinkish-orange tone with aromas of citrus, herbs, vanilla, and black tea. The attack is pleasantly acidic and gaseous, with a clean sweetness and hop bitterness that makes it easy to drink and addictive. It's delicious 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋.
Tsuchida UA collaboration! The unique mellow aroma and mild sweetness is unforgettable even six months after drinking it! I checked online and it looks like they still have some in stock, so I might buy some.
At room temperature. Complex rice sweetness and umami when opened. The color is yellow. I was told that it will become even more delicious with time.
So I drank only one glass today. It tastes so good that I resist the urge to drink more.
Limited edition sake purchased during a visit to the brewery in early spring.
It has a ripe apple-like aroma, and the mouthfeel is as gentle as water.
It has a strong acidity, but the aroma of the wooden vat is pleasantly familiar and soothing: 〰︎〰︎
The sake is understated in its raw yeastiness, which is in keeping with this very gentle ginjo style of sake: ☺️
I'm looking for a quirk❔ or twist❔ that is typical of Tsuchida, but without being too assertive....
I felt its character was the essence 😊.
A strange matching, but a perfect balance✨
Good evening! 😀
Today was a nice day in the northern coastal area of Iwate Prefecture.
It dropped below freezing in the morning, but it feels warmer during the day when it rises to double digits.
Interesting how people feel 😁.
Well, I served Tsuchida this evening.
I have been stocking up on too many of my personal favorite shwashuwas, and I don't have the confidence to finish a four-pack in one day or survive tomorrow's alcohol check, so I chose Tsuchida, a "room temperature" sake! So I chose Tsuchida.
In fact, I found it on the shelf as usual.
I also have another bottle of "Jyotemp Jyotemp Jyotemp" on the shelf (lol).
When poured into the katakuchi, it is golden.
Ah, this is a bad one.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a unique, twisted, medicinal taste.
I don't know how to put it, but it tastes like a diluted Yomeishu (a kind of sake). It's like a diluted yomeishu (a kind of sake). 😱.
But this peculiar feeling is what makes Tsuchida so good.
I like umami-sweet type and love schwashy type, but when I drank it recommended by President Murai of Kibune, I honestly thought "What the heck is this? but before I knew it, I had finished it.
Sake really is a very deep drink.
I think I will drink this one more slowly.
P.S. It's still a hassle to type 500 words on a smartphone.
I think it's great when I see young kids typing with both hands 😅.
Ozeki, the supermarket of choice, collaborated with Tsuchida Sake Brewery, another favorite of ours.
The sake is made from pure rice with a 90% rice polishing ratio and sake brewed using the traditional "nama-hashiroshi" method, which is typical of Tsuchida.
I thought it was great of Ozeki to make this sake as part of a supermarket project.
It has Tsuchida's typical rice flavor and mellowness, but it is not heavy and has a smooth aftertaste.
Delicious!
The color is a light transparent yellow like white wine.
The aroma has a strong sourness derived from the sake yeast.
The taste is just like grape juice!
The soft sweetness and acidity, and the sweet and juicy flavor that spreads slowly are wonderful.
I had a strong impression of Shintschida's ultra-classic flavor, so I was struck by the gap between the two.
This wine can be drunk not only as a food wine, but also on its own.
Dawn of the Young 2024
Its 6️⃣
TSUCHIDA × TSUKE KIMOTO HOP NIGORI NAMA
I was told that it is recommended to warm up the sake.
It was a delicious sake with a flavor that broadened as it warmed up 🍶.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Tsuketero himself!
Purchased at Seijo Ishii.
I drank it and thought, "Oh, no! But it's not sweet,
It was refreshing.
It is also fruity and I like the aftertaste.
It's delicious, and it's only expensive because it's a limited edition.
The color is golden and beautiful.
