Hori
We received Mimuro Cedar Summer Jun.
It is the last day of July. It has been hot every day and summer is in full swing, but I realized that there is only half a month left if we assume that summer lasts until Obon, and only one week left if we assume that summer lasts until Risshu (the first day of autumn).
So, I hurriedly opened a bottle of summer sake.
Mimuro-Sugi Natsujun is a staple of summer sake in my house.
I always have a hard time finding it because there are not many liquor stores that carry Mimuro-Sugi in my area.
It has a fruity flavor that is typical of Japanese sake, but at the same time it is light and has a clean, refreshing taste that is typical of Mimuro-Sugi. There are many kinds of summer sake, but this is the right summer sake to drink on a hot summer day. It goes perfectly with summer snacks such as edamame and chilled tofu.
It was so delicious that it made me miss next year's sake.
