Despite the nose-irritating brewer's alcohol aroma, the first touch is a delicious rice flavor.
The hint of mint in the nose is reminiscent of mint, with a sharpness that is typical of honjozo sake!
I really wanted to try authentic dobu-jiru, so I went to Oarai Town in Ibaraki Prefecture.
I drank a cold sake from the Tsukii Sake Brewery near the restaurant and found it to be a perfect match 😆.
It is fun to drink a wide variety of modern sake, but it is also interesting to enjoy local specialties with local sake!
I'd like to try this kind of enjoyment in other areas as well: ☺️
