It's Hachibei, the sake shop where the food is always delicious. I have wanted to drink this Jugoya for many years, but the timing was not quite right and I could not drink it, but finally I had a chance!
The aroma is very mild, but there is a good smell of sake. Anyone know what this sensation is? It's like a very unique sake that tastes sober and delicious.
When you drink it... it is still very plain.
The umami spreads slowly, the pleasant bitterness gives it depth, and the acidity tightens it up in a dry, crisp manner, making it a "typical" sake.
The second day is more cohesive and the umami is beautiful and firm.
This is a humble sake, but I think the reason it has a moderately light and poppy taste is because it is not fire-aged, but freshly bottled.
This product is sometimes compared to "chestnuts," and if you imagine Amatsu ama chestnuts or marrons, you will be wrong, but you will agree that it has the simplicity and warmth of so-called roasted chestnuts (this is just a nuance).
It is delicious with food that makes the most of the flavors of the ingredients, such as grilled shiitake mushrooms.
