Today is the first Fukkomachi in a long time. It is not fruity, but the flavor of rice spreads. Let me just say one thing for now. It is delicious! It's a good one 🍶.

Special Junmai Kakuemon

Fukukomachi is quite robust as a food sake, and Kakuemon is even more robust. Kakuemon is my favorite.
I went to Yoichi, which ends in November. It was cold but the local beer was good 😋 so I went home and opened this one this time: 💁♂️
Let's start with the standing aroma. It has a faint aroma of slightly sweet tortoiseshell candy. In the mouth, it has the richness and umami that is typical of sake, while the acidity and bitterness create a crisp dry taste.
Serve with sashimi. It went especially well with the tuna. The fat of the tuna spread in the mouth in perfect balance with the umami and a little bitterness of this sake. It's a 👍 as a food sake. ☺️

The aroma of ginjo is only faintly perceptible.
In the mouth, it is a delicious, sharp, slightly dry sake with a mildly sour and bitter taste.

Warmed.
Aroma of sweet rice as if it were freshly cooked.
The sweetness of the rice is full and rich.
A moderate, mild acidity.
Then the umami with a sense of body!
It gives the impression of being a little strong for a mealtime sake.
It is good with strong food.
I like Fukkomachi even when it is warmed up! Just as I thought.
I like it even if it gets lukewarm after warming.
I like it 4.5/5 stars.
