きっしー
Yesterday, I had a drink with a client of mine at Sushi Katsu in Mishima. He likes to drink, so I bought a bottle each of fruity and dry sake at Kuboyama Sake Store, and brought them to the sushi restaurant to match with the meal.
After discussing with the clerk at the Kuboyama Sake Store, I chose the fruity type, "Shiraisen" from Gifu. I had never heard of this brand before, but I decided to go for a more aggressive approach rather than a stable one, so I didn't choose "Senkou", "Akatake", or "Kokuryu". I heard that the water they use is quite soft, so it's a delicious finish.
Then, when I put it in my mouth... hmm?
Fruity? Isn't it a little thick? There's a lot of rice feeling. The taste is a mix of sweetness and bitterness like plums. Did I miss this? But when you take two or three sips, you don't care about the density anymore, and it turns into a delicious taste!
I see, I see.
So this is the kind of sake it is. It's really deep.
By the way, we got a call that the "Shinshu Kamearei Junmai Ginjo Miyamanishiki" that we had reserved for that day had arrived at the Kuboyama Sake Shop. Since there was a restriction of one bottle per person, I didn't want to use it for work (lol), so I decided to drink it all myself, and kept it in the company fridge (lol).
