まつちよ
I had a drinking party in Arakicho, Shinjuku, but I had some time to spare, so I went to an izakaya that stocks Aomori sake, which is rare in Tokyo 🍶😅.
First up was Sekinoi in Mutsu City on the Shimokita Peninsula.
The lady at the store told me that the brewery usually produces a sweet sake that is not typical of Aomori, but this is the "back" Sekinoi, which is a very dry sake.
This is the first time for me to try it.
The initial aroma has a hint of classic acidity.
The mouthfeel is a robust, complex, umakuchi type.
It also has a hint of sweetness with umami.
It is said to have a Sake meter of +10, but the umami is so good that you don't feel it.
It would be interesting to heat it up.
I'd like to try a regular Sekinoi or another brand of Kantatema.
It's pretty good 🍶🐎.
