SAMURAIZ
I often have a chance to have tazake (rice wine) from Aomori, but today it is Mutsu Hachisen, attracted by the fishermen's fire label.
As indicated by the warning, the gas is strong. After a pleasant popping sound when the bottle is opened, the sake bubbles up when poured into a glass.
When you put it in your mouth, it comes out with a whiff, and it disappears with a slight sweetness and a hint of bitterness at the back of your tongue.
According to the brewery's website, it is a "fisherman's food sake," and it is a sake that does not interfere when paired with light-flavored food.
It is a sake that does not tire one's palate, although the umami flavor may be lacking when consumed on its own.
