ststToday I opened a bottle of "Washinoo", a souvenir from Iwate!
I was a bit sad to leave it behind since it was a souvenir, but I decided to digest the freshly squeezed one. I will enjoy it with Shigaraki ware, a Shiga souvenir I bought the other day 🍶.
When the bottle is opened and poured, the aroma is like ripe apples and melon.
It has a beautiful mouthfeel, but soon after, a rich sweetness spreads throughout the mouth. It has a sweet flavor like a sugar candy. With the roughness of freshly squeezed sake, it is surprisingly good on the rocks as well!
It has a similar impression to K Katsuragawa's summer sake (on the rocks).
It has a freshness to it, but with just the right amount of lightness and heaviness, which is where I feel the Iwate quality ✨.
A duet of local products!
Maybe next time I'll try it with Shiga's souvenir sake and Nanbu ironware!
