Last weekend I was out of sake to go with oden, so I went to the local supermarket and bought a 300㎖ bottle for the sake. It has a sweet and refreshing taste. It's good at hiya, but it tastes even better when it's warmed up to human skin temperature to increase the sweetness. However, I thought it would be too clean to pair with oden. I chose this sake because I wanted to keep it light, but.... If I wanted to warm it up, I could have used a more robust Junmaishu or even Honjozo. I'm still learning💦.

On a trip to Shiga, I visited Hirai Shoten. The quaint appearance of the store and the display of products were a sight to behold. Today's bottle was the "Sake Brewer's 3003000 Year Old" (pictured left). The aroma is melon, apple, and pineapple, and the first sip is a punch. It has a mellow sweetness, but the acidity and bitterness make it crisp and refreshing. Delicious. Well, Shiga Prefecture was fun! I'm also looking forward to Kosetsu (I heard it's read as Fouche) on the right side of the photo 😄.

I think it's rare to find unfiltered raw ginjo 🤔. Slightly sweet and nutty. It has a strong sweetness and umami. It's a good combination of modern and classic without feeling like it's been alkaloosoaked. If the label is a little more modern, it will sell well. After 10 days, it became bitter and hard to drink.

Japanese>English

First impressions are a sharp taste with a dry finish. There is sweet apple flavor with a hint of wood / taru. Good combination with foods that are on the salty side. This is a limited Sake.

I felt a sense of maturity or deep flavor. Takashima is in the northern part of Shiga Prefecture, a land known for funazushi (fermented crucian carp sushi). I tasted it, wondering if the character of the wine would go well with funa-zushi. I tasted it while wondering if the character would go well with funa-zushi. I could not prepare funazushi as a side dish, so I tasted it with gyoza and yakisoba noodles. It tasted mellow even though it is a pure sake, and I wondered if it would be a mismatch with chilled tofu and edamame...

We ordered at Benkei no weibasho, an izakaya near Niigata Station. This restaurant is operated by a local conveyor-belt sushi chain, and we were informed that their seafood dishes are sure to be good, so we made a reservation and visited. I was curious about this sake at Ponshukan, where I had wandered around during lunch. Niigata is known for its dry sake, but this one is quite fruity. It is not too sweet, so it goes well with sashimi. I mean, too much throat groyne!

It has a light smoky aroma, just like Kenpachi. We ended up drinking it cold, but it was recommended to be served lukewarm. It suddenly got cold yesterday. But I think daikon radish tastes best around this time of year. Starting with cold sake and warming a glass to lukewarm seems like a good idea 🍶. Sake from Sado is never a miss 😋.
