Since I live in Nagano Prefecture, I thought I should try drinking more local sake instead of drinking only kudoki-oi, as the year 2024 has just begun.
But in the end, I drank some sake from outside the prefecture, but all of them were at drinking parties. I was so drunk that I don't remember what it tasted like, and I don't even remember the sake crocodile. I am sure it was good. It was a bitter disappointment. I am so sorry.
And now, I'm drinking "Mujinkura ORO" in bed.
Tachibanakura Shuzo.
This is called Tachibanakura "Kikura".
I have never had it before, so I bought it.
The label is stylish, like wine.
The shape of the bottle is also stylish with a streamlined design.
Aroma
The aroma is of rice flavor and a hint of sourness.
The interesting thing about the aroma of this sake is that it has a slight "rocky shore" aroma. It really brought back memories of enjoying rock fishing in the summer. (This is overwhelmingly subjective).
Taste
Full-bodied and acidic on the palate. Sake degree is positive? It is dry with a touch of umakuchi. The aftertaste is clean and crisp. The aftertaste is short. The combination of umami and acidity in the nose reminds one of the aroma of "Iso" (rocky shore).
Summary
A food sake. Tachibanakura's sake is sold with this unique acidity and umami. It was a great sake that I would like to drink while eating something at an izakaya.
