Kamo Kanehide Another K Junmai Daiginjo Wine barrel storage
The leftovers from the UTAGE loot, of which we had bought two bottles*.
In the morning, I drank a bottle of Sentori Otoko no Kakureki and felt like drinking a Western-style sake, so I opened a bottle of this one*.
The color is a pale pink, and I guess the pigment from the wine barrels has been transferred.
The aroma is a light scent of jujubes.
The texture is silky and the balance between the neatness of Junmai Daiginjo and the barrel aroma and acidity is very good*.
This doesn't sound like a sake either.
Previously, I paired it with bucket, sautéed bigeye tuna, smoked cheese, and 70% dark chocolate, and the smoked cheese and dark chocolate were nice.
This time, 1) prosciutto with plenty of olive oil, 2) anchovy mayonnaise and vegetable sticks, 3) prosciutto and arugula salad, 4) pasta with genovese sauce, 5) 99% dark chocolate.
As a result.
(1) Olive aroma and saltiness go well together
(2) Too salty to match
(3) Salty condition of prosciutto goes well with bitter taste of arugula
(4) Genovese is too strong and counteracts the taste.
(5) Bitter chocolate goes well with it.
Kamo Kanehide's new attempt is very good*.

Hi Miki, Good evening...
I love Kamo Kanehide.
How does this compare to the barrel?
From the color, it looks like it has a strong barrel feel 🍷.

Good morning, tkmts! The Imi Barrel had a completely smoky taste, while the Another K had a red wine aroma, different from the Quercus. The aroma transfer was moderate and not strong*.
