It has a sweet flavor that spreads and draws out as if a warmth is being transmitted through the body. It has an interesting taste that is not peculiar, although it has a bit of an "aji" taste.
This month's Kurando is a junmai ginjo from Gifu. It has a twangy bounce in its clarity. The booklet recommends pairing it with seafood, but I would like to enjoy it with something simple like grilled river fish or vegetable sticks to enjoy the clear, river-like atmosphere.
If you think of it as the upper reaches of the Tone River system, as the name implies, it is interesting to drink it, and while it is clear, you can also taste the feeling of that flavor when it reaches Ibaraki.
While thinking of the sound of the name "Houou Seitoku", I certainly feel a bit of glamour and old sake-like habit. It would be intoxicating if enjoyed quietly with local cuisine.
It is refreshing and easy to drink without being spicy. It is good on its own or with snacks, from snacks to pickles. The same brewery also makes a version of Anohana, which I would like to try.
