Finally, I asked him if he had any strange sake. I asked him, and he offered me this one as a sake that would go well with the Chinese koji bean curd.
What is Chinese koji? He explained to me what it was and served it to me.
Sogen Shuzo, Ishikawa Prefecture
Sogen Shuzo Shiboritate Nama-nazake (freshly brewed sake)
This is a rare sake that was kept at room temperature before it was damaged in the earthquake.
It has a mild caramelized pudding-like taste, and is full of amino acid sweetness and richness. The aftertaste is a bit sharp. It was delicious because of its concentrated flavor and richness.
A customer showed me a picture of Sogapère Ephis, saying that he got hooked on sake through a pairing recommended at this restaurant.
I told him that it was a rare sake made by a winery for a limited time, but that I had it here today, and he immediately ordered it.
I said hello and headed home, as I had time to catch the bus.
I had a great time listening to the sake pairings.
