一本義 仙介🇺🇦
Sake in Sabae, Fukui Prefecture. Sabae, the city of glasses. I lived there for about three years. The name "Kashon" was taken from the flickering flame of a candle at a wedding celebration. It was named in honor of the Emperor Taisho's marriage. First of all, it has a strong sweetness that is honestly rice-like, and when you poke at this sweetness with your tongue, a pungent taste emerges. There is also a slight hineyoshi aroma and a slightly astringent and hard taste like sake lees. It tastes like a country sake (I like that kind of sake) that has been drunk for hundreds of years. How about if you heat it up? The taste loosens up a lot, and the sweetness and spiciness swell up at the same time. The hineyoshi and the hardness of the sake lees are softened, and the strong sweetness does not hit you, but becomes a whole with the spiciness. It becomes softer and much easier to drink. It is not too tiring to drink, and can be easily matched with anything. It can be used for any occasion, from an everyday evening drink to a sake to be shared with others at a candlelit banquet. The same brewery also has a brand of sake called "Echizen Kokufu," which is located in Echizen City (formerly Takefu City), a town next to Sabae, where Murasaki Shikibu lived for about a year away from Kyoto. Coincidentally, Murasaki Shikibu is the main character in next year's Taiga "To the Luminous Kimi. I wonder if the events in Echizen-kokubu will also be depicted in the film.
