ひるぺこ
Today we have Wajima Monogatari.
This sake is made entirely from Gohyakumangoku grown in Wajima City by the Shirafuji Shuzo brewery of Shirakiku in Okunoto.
The aroma is mildly refreshing.
When you take a sip, you will feel a sharp alcohol taste in your nose. The mouthfeel is smooth and robust, with a milky rice flavor and a clear spiciness.
When we warmed it up after reading online that it is suitable for warmed sake, it became softer on the palate and transformed into a sake with a gentle sweetness and umami flavor. The dryness is balanced out by the tangy dryness. It is definitely a sake that shines when heated.
After a day's storage, the corners are removed and the soft sweetness and umami taste is delicious even when cold.
I have been waiting for a bottle of Okunoto's Shirakiku for some time.
I had hoped to have a bottle of Okunoto's Shirakiku someday, but I came across Wajima Monogatari by chance, which raised my expectations even more.
There are so many sakes I want to drink, I can't choose the next one.
