ひるぺこ
Today I came to a cafe near the Kamogawa River in Kyoto where you can also drink sake.
It's a stylish cafe, and it's a great place to drink coffee but also sake.
So this time, I chose To'o no Doburoku.
It's a sake that I've been curious about, and I'm nervous about opening the bottle myself, so it's nice to be able to drink it at the shop.
The label has a cute picture of a dragonfly. You wouldn't think it was a doburoku, so it's easy to pick up.
However, since it's a mizumoto, it does have a durian-like aroma, but it's mainly pineapple. The taste is like a refreshing pineapple juice with doburoku's swooshiness, richness, sweetness, and strong acidity. Since the shop had already opened the bottle and poured it for us, the aroma was calm and there wasn't much of the rice mash in the glass, so it was even more refreshing to drink.
I had it with curry with Japanese soup stock, and the sourness went well with the sake. It's a shame that I finished drinking the sake before the curry. Oh, it was a happy afternoon when I was wondering if I should have another one.
