Sake My Life
Long time no post.
We've been drinking all our own booze.
The aroma is ripe and sweet, like baked apples. The aroma is fruity, but more tangy than fresh.
The taste is a rich sweetness unique to nama sake. It is accented with a mineral taste and a rough feeling on the tongue. It is also easily recognizable as a Hokuriku sake, perhaps a characteristic of the Gohyakumangoku variety! It is immediately recognizable as Hokuriku sake.
Also, the acidity that I sensed as the temperature range increased. I realized the true nature of the sense of maturity I sensed in the aroma. Malic acid or citric acid type. It may be one of the ways to keep acidity in the raw draft.
The richness of nama sake is also delicious, but I was expecting a more subtracted dry sake with a deeper flavor.
The Tsuneyama I drank before was fire-aged, right? I have been secretly looking forward to this brewery for a long time because it has a thick flavor and is easy to drink as a dry sake.
I would like to try the hi-ire version in another month or so.
Please try it.
