アラジン
To end the pre-drinking practice, the restaurant recommended this Tokujiro special junmai sake from the Joyo Shuzo brewery in Kyoto Prefecture, which was chosen by the restaurant.
The brewery's concept is "Bikan Yuso," which means "to create a sense of beauty," and their aim is to brew sake with a rich heart and sensibility based on traditional techniques, and to preserve the original flavor of the rice so that the drinker never gets tired of it.
This luxurious sake is brewed with Kyoto-grown Gohyakumangoku rice polished to 55%.
The appearance is crystal with a golden color.
The aroma is mild, with a hint of rice.
The mouthfeel is smooth, with no sense of attack, and the sweetness and umami of the rice are in harmony with the acidity in a gentle taste, giving the impression that the umami is slightly forward.
I thought it was good as an everyday sake that does not interfere with the taste of meals.
This sake also seemed to open up when it was heated because of its fullness of umami.
Next time I would like to try it with heated sake.
Thank you for the sake 🍶.
