Next up is the Yonodori x American White Oak pairing🪵✨.
We added a stick of American White Oak to the Yonodori for flavor. Originally, Yonotori has the mellowness and sweetness that only a wooden vat brewing can provide, but the addition of white oak changes the direction of the aroma. The aroma is distinctly woodier than Mizunara oak, with a mellow aroma reminiscent of vanilla.
As time goes by, the aroma becomes more familiar, and a slight oaky and rounded feeling is added to the palate. The wood components blend well together, enhancing the gentle sweetness of the Yonotori, but also making the overall impression much tighter.
It was as if the sake had been aged in whiskey barrels, a nuance that gave the sake a new look.
The strong and fragrant aroma, which is different from that of Mizunara, is impressive, and it is hard to say which is better 😋.
It was a very interesting experience to compare the drinks and rediscover the individuality of each wood and the depth of Yonotori 🍶.
