Kitanosho酒米楽酒 神力 純米吟醸
一本義 仙介🇺🇦
This is a sake from Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture, found in a supermarket in Akashi.
I have never seen this design before, but it was sold side by side with a similar design from Akashi's Ibaraki Sake Brewery and one other sake brewer, so it may have been part of some project.
Dry and pungent taste that rises before sweetness.
It rises crisply and disappears with a slight lingering aftertaste when served with food. The second sip is followed by a strong umami. After a short pause, the spiciness is again pronounced, and the sake is ready to be drunk again. It is irresistible.
How about if you heat it up?
The spiciness comes through to the nose. It is quite strong.
The umami comes out on the whole surface, and it is assertive even if it is combined with the entrée. The pungent spiciness and umami disappear while being well accepted.
This acceptance is also a nice touch.
It is nice to encounter sake from one's hometown in a distant city.
