かいこま
It was hot and lingering hot today, so we started with 🍺 beer.
Tonight we chose Oregon IPA from Obina Brewing, a local American brewery in our hometown of Kofu.
Refreshing, but with a rich hop flavor. It was a good bridge to this next sake.
Now, without further preamble, this Kame no Kai has a subdued aroma, is refreshing for an autumn-aged sake, does not have much of an aged feel as an autumn sake, and has a dry and salty taste for a Kame no Kai.
Personally, I prefer a more mellow, mature, sweet-tasting autumn sake, but this autumn sake may be good for those who like dry, crisp sake.
