This is a sake from my hometown in the Oku-Echizen region of Fukui Prefecture - Ono City.
It was sent to me by my mother along with a donation from a volunteer organization. As a foolish son, I can only be thankful.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the pungent taste wafting deep inside.
One second, two seconds...the sweet taste of rice and sweet taste of water that wells up from the bottom of the mouth. A single, consistent, and dignified flavor. Everything is elegant.
Everything is the taste of the rice and famous water of Echizen-Ono that has nurtured me. It is nostalgic.
How about if you warm it up?
A little sourness and sweetness come forward.
The alcohol taste of the sake gives it a bit of hardness.
Maybe I prefer it cold.
It was served at a rice cake pounding event on Christmas Eve.
I have a drink with a fellow volunteer and sake lover who has recently become a friend of mine, while enjoying pork miso soup and chimaizuke pickles in a corner of the venue.
I was met with cold stares from the ladies who said, "Don't drink, help out!" (of course).
I still have no muscle aches. I wonder if I am still young or if I have not worked hard enough....
It was not Daiginjo but "Kaiseki Shunginjo".
Sorry about that.
