Kidoizumiブレンド古酒 Handshake

I had a reason to go to Yajima TDL, so I thought it was a good opportunity to buy something with it, and I was interested in this one.
This sake is a blend of a 1+ year old junmai sake base, a 30+ year old junmai sake, and a 5+ year old aged junmai "afs" 🍶.
The aroma is a combination of soy sauce and brown sugar, reminding me of Mitarashi w. The mouthfeel has just a little bit of a tang, with caramel at the back of the moderate sweetness taste, but the flavor is completed by a delicious and refreshing acidity.
When I drank Daruma Masamune 3years ago, I found that Mitarashi went very well with it, so I tried pairing it with it, but it was too sour and not good enough 🤔.
On the second day, it became sweeter, so I tried again with mitarashi, the taste became lighter and it went well with it ✨it became easier to drink 😆I tried to pair it with ice cream, but it wasn't good 😅.
I read an article by a brewer and saw that it tastes good mixed with lactic acid and carbonated water, so I gave it a try! If you don't like old sake, this might be good for you ✨.
On the third day, I paired the lukewarm sake with cheesecake based on Pon-chan's review, which was also very in tune and delicious 🥰.

Good evening, ichiro18😄.
This is another great 🫢 old sake blend that seems to have a lot of flavor.
After Ponchan's old sake, the pairing is also western ☺️ I can't imagine a calpis sour! Sounds interesting📝.

Good evening, Hinahana mama 😃.
Old sake has a strong habit but once you get used to it, it's delicious ✨I found it to be very sour but it's easier to pair with sweetness 😍Calpis sour is delicious if it's sweet and the aroma is ok 😆.

ポンちゃん
Good evening, ichiro18 🦉.
I see that the sake was from here! I'm surprised that even matured sake can change after a day 😳The result is a great match with mitarashi 👍 Like HinaHanaMama, the calpis sour is an eye-opener 😳.

Good evening, Pon 😃
I thought on my own that old sake can be stored at room temperature in a dark place, but this sake was sold in a refrigerator 😳I searched for it and found that it is stored below 20 degrees Celsius, so I thought it must be delicate 🤣.

Good morning, ichiro18 😃.
I'm enjoying reading your various pairings with old sake 😁.
The picture of you shaking hands 🤝 with a firm handshake 🤝 seems to imply the very pairing 😉.

Good morning Hiro 😃.
It's an old sake so I couldn't gobble it up in a day so I took advantage of the time to give it a try 🥰You're right 👍It does look like a pairing suggestion 😳The idea is great 😊.

Good evening, ichiro18!
Is it an aged wine ⤴️
I still get the impression that it has quite a few quirks 😲.
I'm very interested in the way you drink it, the temperature changes, the pairing attempts, and the great sake activity 🤗.

Good evening, ma-ki-😃.
I still feel the habit! Especially this brewery's signature brand Afs seems to have a strong acidity and this sake also had a noticeable sourness at first 🤔 The above pairing was good when it comes to sweetness 😃.

I have never had old sake. Is it sweet and sour? I have had old Shaoxing wine before.

BoseKota, old wine has a strong aroma. It's similar to the aroma of Shaoxing wine if I've ever had it ✨and the mouthfeel is also very smooth and has a deeper taste 🤔.

Hello ichiro18 😃!
Oh! I see you went to Yajima TDL🤗.
Is it a blend of 30 years old sake 🙂 It's like a father and son sake 🍶 in terms of age!
Nice Mitarashi 🍡 challenge too👍.

Hi Jay & Nobby 😃.
I haven't been to Yajima TDL in 6 months 😁.
I see! It's definitely an Oyako sake 👍 it's based on one year aging so it's not that peculiar but it was a delicious sake that goes well with Mitarashi 🥰.
