The turnaround point
The sixth glass was a real gusher!
I know Fudo, but I've never seen an old 2002 sake!
When the sake is poured, it has an amber color!
When you taste it, the taste is indescribable!
It reminds me of a noble rot wine!
The skewers were grilled quail eggs and mushrooms!
It is also good to match with these ingredients 🍶.
Knowledge
This is an aged junmai koshu brewed in 2002 (Heisei 14). It is a junmai sake that has been waiting for 18 years in the brewery, a challenge to a profound theme in sake.
When poured into a glass, it has a noble amber color and a unique aged aroma of caramel, chocolate, nuts, etc., reminiscent of young Shaoxing sake. The alcohol has settled down, and the velvety, sensual texture and very mild flavor will make you melt in your mouth. It is a luxury that only vintage sake can offer. The difference in flavor as the temperature changes, from chilled to heated, is another way to enjoy koshu.
This is the evidence and discovery of what happens when sake is aged for a long period of time in optimum conditions.
