Ishikawa Prefecture Miso Sake Brewery
Youho no You~Ho. It is an aged sake.
The label on the back said it was aged for 4 years, but it was pressed in February 2018, so it is actually 5 years old.
When stirred, a lump of lees drifts in the air.
First at room temperature... It had a mild aroma and amber color, but the matured aroma was not strong, and the flavor was rich and umami. It is easy to drink at room temperature.
Next, we tried heating it up. It's not the season to warm up sake while summer sake is on the market...
I was going to warm it up, but it was over 60°C... yuck, yuck 💦.
It calmed down a bit.
It's very easy to drink, with a gentle sweetness followed by a sharp spiciness. Delicious 😋.
I think it is easy to drink even for those who don't like matured sake. (This is my personal impression)
It is good not with light snacks or sashimi, but with rich simmered dishes, fish marinated in miso, or tempura. It accepts and pours in dishes with strong flavors.
