Hori
I received a SAKURA CUP from Daimine.
From the rice markings, the contents are probably three grains of Yamadanishiki.
It had a juicy mouthfeel with umami and sweetness, reminiscent of fresh muscat or pineapple fruit. The acidity and overall lightness of the flavor makes it a good match for any meal, Japanese or Western, and it seems to go well with delicate dishes.
This time, I took it out camping to take advantage of its one-cup advantage and drank it with a camp meal that was rich in flavor, such as a meat dish.
After dinner, drinking Omine while gazing at the campfire was also exceptional, and I am grateful to Omine Sake Brewery for producing a one-cup of their delicious sake.
Sake is not very portable, not only in one bottle, but even in four-pack bottles, so I would be happy if other sake breweries would offer one-cup, one- or two-pack bottles in small quantities, even if it is a small amount.
I bought six bottles and have three more to go, so I will look forward to enjoying the rest during hanami (cherry blossom viewing).
