Asano Sake Shop is here to drink Ura Koshi.
This week, they are holding the Amabuki Fair, which means I can drink Hinoshitamusou!
Of course I will drink it.
(1) Junmai 60 Hi-iri in a red bottle
The color is a soft yellow.
The aroma is slightly malty.
It tastes like a gentle sweet sake,
The amazake-like sweet flavor slowly spreads in the mouth for a long time, and the bitterness gradually takes effect in the latter half.
The bitter taste gradually takes over in the second half, and before you know it, it is gone.
It is a somewhat strange sensation.
It goes well with a dish of Yobuko squid called ika-jiman, which is squid marinated in moromi miso.
(2) Junmai No. 9 Fire Iri in the green bottle
This one has a refreshing and umami taste,
It has a gentle umami flavor, with sharp acidity and bitterness in the second half.
(3) Junmai No. 8, Hi-iri (black label)
Not much aroma.
This may be the driest of all.
It has a strong umami of rice in the base, and the taste is tightened by the acidity and bitterness.
Since the sake was served cold, it might be better to serve it at a higher temperature to let the acidity mellow out and show its full potential.
I was happy to taste Kusaka Musou and Ura Koshi together ^ ^.
The second photo is the Kamo River at night from Sanjo Ohashi Bridge.
It is cold in Kyoto at night. Let's have one more drink and go home.

Good evening, Pon-chan. I regret that I should have drank Amabuki's flower yeast too💦Amabuki and Kusaka Musou are totally different types. I guess I'll have to break out once more.
