ODAcchi
This is the third installment of Tsuketaro Sake Shop, where you get a hot sake DJ Tsuketaro recommends every month, along with a pairing recipe. This time it's Sugi Nishiki Yanagikake from Sugii Shuzo (with spices mixed by Tsuketaro).
In the Edo period (1603-1868), people used to drink mirin (sweet sake) with shochu (distilled spirit) to cool down in well water on hot summer days to get rid of the heat.
Sugii Shuzo reproduced it by using their own mirin and Yamahai Junmai Genshu. After bottling, they aged it for 12 years in the refrigerator, and it was sold only in May last year.
This time, since it was sent out in January, they wanted people to drink it like a slaughterhouse, so they put spices in it.
Color : Bright pale mountain ash color
Aroma : Sweet aroma like brown sugar or syrup, almost no alcohol.
Taste : Sweet enough that even people who don't like sake can drink it. Add a touch of sansho, pink pepper, cloves or other spices and warm it up to create a hot wine.
Recommended Pairing: Pair with vinegared mackerel to soften the sweetness and intensify the spice.
