新舘幸樹
Again, this is my first sake.
I thought it was a sake from Nara because of the name, so I had not picked it up for a long time. I never picked up this sake until I found out it was from Fukushima.
I always drink it in a japanese sake cup, but the color is so nice. I was surprised to see it was really clear and colorless for the first time in a while.
Since it is hiyaoroshi-goshi, the aroma is mild. And it is much drier than I expected. There is not much that can be felt on the tip of the tongue, and as it rolls around in the mouth, the spiciness and bitterness come in a rush. Finally, there is a slight sweetness. The lingering bitterness lingers in the mouth.
I paired it with simmered kabochiya (pumpkin).
The sweetness combined with the spiciness and bitterness of the sake is very tasty.
It is a simple combination, but it was more than I expected.
