武侯祠
This is a record of a sake tavern I stopped by when I was in Shibuya on a business trip.
There was Wakakoma, which I had been interested in for a while, so we compared drinks by specifying the brand name.
Wakakoma was a beautiful sake. It was comfortable to finish it easily without any sticking point.
Kanemaru had a black and white label, which I preferred. The rice flavor was strong and distinct. Delicious!
The red and white label had a strong smoky aroma, perhaps a wooden vat feeling, and it was hard to taste it as a sake.
Next was Eiko Fuji no Hoshimatsuri. I saw it in the basement of Shibuya Tokyu, but did not buy it because of its high price. I drank one pot of it deliciously and appreciated it as I should have.
The white malted rice of Sanzen Sakura was the best discovery of the day. The acidity comes first, but the umami comes soon after. It is really delicious. I think it is one of my favorite sake with acidity attack. I want to drink it again.
The last sake is from Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture. This sake is refreshing, but a little bit rich, and quite delicious. The sake sommelier's recommendations offer new discoveries. It was a good way to spend a Friday night.
