武侯祠
I met a tasting of Kuroryu for the first time. It seems there is a sales person in charge of sake breweries in the Kansai region. He told me that this was his first time at a tasting event. I was curious about it, so I tried a few sips. When I asked him how he felt when he drank Gohyakumangoku before, or rather what the sister of the brewery told me about the change in taste due to the change in the way sake is made, he did not give me a very clear explanation. I was a little curious as I wondered if they didn't care too much about it.
Anyway, I decided to have a bottle of Kuroryu today, which cost 5,500 yen. I decided to give it as a gift to my mother-in-law when I went back to my parents' house for the New Year's holiday.
So New Year's came and I went back to my parents' house. My wife had an exchange at the end of the year, in which she said that she would not make much osechi this year, but there were some really fine side dishes lined up. I wonder what that exchange was about.
The sake has a tingling sensation right after opening the bottle, not fizzy, but after 30 minutes, the taste changes drastically. After 30 minutes, the taste changed drastically: the ginjo aroma became stronger and the taste of rice could be felt. My mother and relatives were very satisfied. I left half of it in the refrigerator at my parents' house. I really wanted a bottle, but I don't want to say such a small thing.
