Denshu純米大吟醸秋田酒こまち
Kon_SuKoN
On the first day of GW, when the restrictions were lifted for the first time in a while, I decided to go out for a drink with a friend.
Just the day before, I got a line from the store that they had some very rare sake, including Tasake, in stock in a hidden bottle... And my friend has been interested in Tasake for a long time... This is a "good" thing, right?
About 10 years ago, Tasake was known only to those in the know, but now it's so popular that it seems to command a premium next to Otters...it's kind of like when your favorite band makes their major label debut.
Let's move on to the topic of sake.
It was my first time to drink this brand, and I asked for it when I was drunk, so some parts are vague, but my first impression was like "I suddenly heard pinkfloyd from the earphones that the popular guy in class always wears..." (mystery).
While it has the gorgeousness of a daiginjo, it also has the characteristics of junmai sake, such as the deliciousness and fullness of rice, which made me realize once again the interesting and deep nature of sake, as well as its easy-drinking and fruity aroma.
There was no unpleasant aftertaste, and this was a quintessential feature of sake.
I would definitely like to taste other brands as well, since I could see the goodness of the Akita Sake Komachi variety.
