ポチャタロウ
The second night of my trip to Nagano. There are so many kinds of sake in Shinshu that it's hard to choose one. Surprisingly, I chose Masumi, which I've heard of for a long time but didn't know much about, and it was a big hit. I've seen it on the menu many times in my life and I'm sorry I didn't choose it. The aroma of muskmelon got me excited from the first impression. It gave me the same impression I had when I drank Tobiraizumi in Akita! The balance of sweetness, acidity, and umami is perfect, and the aftertaste is pleasant and perfect. I searched and found that it is a seasonal summer sake. I heard that there is a new sake called Arashibari that is more powerful this time of year! Well, it's not a sake specialty store and the food is delicious, so it's totally acceptable. It was a very satisfying evening, and we even got to try a rare fish called Ito.
