Suzukabuto純米吟醸 新酒原酒
ひるぺこ
Spring Tokaido Sake Brewery Tour (2)
Dragon Boat Festival🎏 is Kabuto-chan.
The second bottle is Suzukabuto.
It is junmai ginjo new sake.
It is safe to say that this one went out with a real mission.
The rice is Ginbuki, a sake rice from Shiga Prefecture, just like the first bottle, Hatsuzakura.
It is served cold.
It has a slight yellow hue.
The top aroma is very mild.
It has a juicy aroma reminiscent of fresh bamboo grass, young dried grapes, and oranges.
The mouthfeel is round. From the bluish alcoholiness, the juicy orange aroma and acidity are gently developed with a smooth and robust rice feel. The taste is sharp with a tangy, bitter and pungent flavor.
The refreshing acidity typical of junmai ginjo-style sake, the familiar rice flavor, and the sharpness of the aftertaste are all nicely integrated.
It is a moderate, not too hard-core food sake, and the more you drink, the more you will want another glass.
And if you heat it up
The contrast between the plumpness of the freshly cooked rice and the tangy bitterness is again delicious.
I would like to try it with mackerel sushi as an entrée.
