It is an old sake but refreshing. It is said that the originally dry sake has mellowed. It has a nice taste of rice. It is now mirin (sweet cooking rice wine). It is delicious.
I could taste the sweetness, but the astringency and the spiciness on the tongue were strong.
Maybe it goes better with meat than seafood? I'd like to try it with yuzu kosho grilled chicken or something.
I think it tastes better when it's cold.
The photo is of the yuzu we ate together.
Sake with a sourness that can be spread and felt all at once on the palate.
It also has a slight woody aroma. It also has a slight woody aroma.
It is hard to drink by itself, but it was a good marriage with cured ham!
For the first time in a long time, a super tasty sparkling dry Junmai sake.
An elderly male clerk at the Tobu Department Store B1 in Ikebukuro Station told me about it.
I'm sure I'll be a repeat customer. I appreciate the reasonable price.

Are there many good sakes in Hiroshima?
I enjoyed drinking a variety of sakes that I didn't know existed, and many of them had both individuality and goodness!
