ひえだのI found a fresh bottle of Edo Kaijo in a gift bag at a certain liquor store.
I've heard that the raw version is hard to find, but I'd like to know more about it.
The brewery is located in the heart of the city, near Tamachi. That means it's a Tokyo sake. So, how good can sake brewed in Tokyo be? I'm getting excited.
The color of the water is a bit cloudy and whitish.
The aroma on the rise is quite fruity! It smells like pears and bananas. Vinegar isotope.
In the mouth, a fizzy feeling comes. Puchi-puchi.
Fresh sake quality. The aroma lingers strongly on the palate, but the flavor and sweetness do not come through as much. It is as if you are drinking flavored tea. It may not have much body. At the end, there is a little bit of a cute bitterness. It's like drinking a beautiful pear drink. I wish it had a little more sweetness...
But then my tongue remembered the taste of the Hououmida, so I reset the taste with some water.
Then I could feel the sweetness! It's a rather refreshing yet beautiful sake. I was honestly impressed that a sake brewed in the heart of the city could do so well.
You might be surprised if you try it for yourself. Just because it's made in Tokyo. And the quality of the sake.
If you see it, please take a look.
