Echizenmisaki槽搾り純米「復活米 九頭竜」火入れ瓶囲い
ひるぺこ
Continuing from the last time, this is Cape Echizen,
Kutouryuu version.
This sake is made from Kutouryuu, a rare variety of sake from Fukui Prefecture that was revived in 2014 for the first time in about 10 years. We were looking forward to it because we heard that Kutouryuu was recommended by someone who visited Cape Echizen just before our trip to Fukui.â
It is served at room temperature.
Slightly greenish appearance. The top aroma is a gorgeous aroma of sweet banana and blue melon, green bamboo, cypress, and freshly pounded rice cake.
From the smooth mouthfeel, the aroma of fresh bananas easily passes through to the nose, and the gentle acidity and umami of the rice can be felt firmly, although it is light. It has a mild bitterness and a short aftertaste.
When heated, the fruity taste of banana and the umami of the rice are more mellow and sweet.
Delicious balance of sweet taste and refreshing sharpness.
Both of the sake I compared are suitable for a light and refreshing mealtime drink,
The 🟣Gohyakumangoku is more mild,
The 🟣Gohyakumangoku is more mild and the 🟡Kuzuryu is lighter with a fresh fruity taste.
Both are delicious.
The ease of drinking heated sake is 😋.
Very happy to be able to compare them side by side with a glass from the spring Fukui New Sake Festival 😊.

Good morning, Hirupeko 😃.
Echizen cape drinking comparison with memories of your trip, it's intoxicating. ☺️
I have never heard of Kuzuryu, Fukui's sake rice.
I am interested in sake brewed with native varieties of sake rice as it often suits my taste 🤤.

Hi Aladdin. I didn't know there was a sake rice called Kuzuryu either, and I happened to learn about it right before my trip. That kind of thing is also unique to the sake connection 😊.

Hi Peco 🐦.
Looks like a delicious drink comparison 😁I didn't know about Kuzuryu sake rice until I saw it 😳It's even better when it's your first sake rice and it's delicious 😆.
The first one looks great, but the third one is permanent 💕.

Good evening, Pon-chan. Kutouryuu was new to me too and I learned a lot! It was a good sake trip since the Spring New Sake Festival, as I wanted to get to know Fukui sake a little more deeply and sublimate both the dinosaur's grudge and my own 😊.

Good evening, Jay & Nobby. It was a luxurious souvenir drinking experience where we could take our time to drink at home the local sake from our trip. It's always a good idea to twist a family trip into a sake trip 😅It was a fun trip to Fukui🤗.
