SAMURAIZThis is a classic sake that I like to drink at this time of year. Last year it was released at the beginning of the new year, but this year it was released in time for the end of the year.
Now it's time to open the bottle.
Stick an ice pick into the stopper to release the gas.
Since it is quite healthy this year, I moved it to the bathroom just to be sure. After checking the stirring inside the bottle, I served it.
The graininess is more subdued than before, but the sweetness and umami with the texture of sake rice on the tongue. Moderate bitterness. We enjoyed it with the sake rice grains clinging to the inside of the glass.
