This month's Kurando is a sake from Oita with bamboo bonbori and a quaint name and label. It has a twang, but it is well rounded. As the pamphlet says, it goes well with wasabi soy sauce.
Kagawa's Western Japan Sake Salty and highland taste with a clear, twangy flavor harmonizes well with Kagawa's Western Japan Sake Salty and highland taste. It goes well with salty dark dried sea bream.
Despite its clear appearance, the sake has a cloudy, muddy sake-like taste. It is good when paired with dark meat and vegetables, substituting the taste of koji for rice.
The Gifu sake was out of stock, so we were recommended this sake instead, which tastes like sweet white wine and white apples. The taste of white apples, like a sweet white wine, was a real treat.
It is easy to drink, with a clearness reminiscent of clear water in between the alcohol taste that spreads slowly. It is good to drink with Kyoto sweets.
It is a junmai sake that is relatively easy to drink, but has the taste of Yamada-Nishiki with an even more old-fashioned edge. It is best to drink it with the name "Aki-shika" (autumn deer), which is a very elegant name, at the top of the bottle.
A sake with a straightforward name and a sense of Naniwa. It is quite good, with a lingering aftertaste that is not overpowered by the rich sauce flavor.
