Sake My Life
NAMAGEN Amefall Junmai Mizuhashiro, unfiltered unpasteurized sake
Yoshikawa Brewery, Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture
(Purchased at LaJomon)
The thickness of the sake becomes apparent as soon as it is poured.
The aroma is sour with a hint of vinegar.
The introduction gives the impression of a white wine.
It is packed with umami. The bitterness lingers softly as an aftertaste, so this is a bottle that is suitable for different people.
It is clearly different from mizu-hashiroshi like the one we had at Hanaboe.
It has a mellow, rich flavor, acidity, and bitterness.
When drunk with stew as before, the acidity and bitterness soften it, so the umami is felt straight away.
When paired with vinegared hoya, the aroma of the shiso leaves also changes the unique sourness to a softer sourness. The taste changes.
It is delicious. Acid and acidity are easy to combine.
As an expression of taste using mizu-hashiroshi, it expands the possibilities of sake.
Please try it.
