As a whisky drinker, I have been interested in this brand for a long time.
When warmed up and cooled down, it has a prune-like aroma, acidity, sweetness, astringency, and the richness of the rice.
Purchased at a Fukushima Prefecture antenna store I saw while strolling in Nihonbashi
It is a fine sake at room temperature, mild but with a hint of alcoholic sharpness at key points, and goes well with chicken.
I felt like the sake was begging me to heat it up, so I left half of it and drank it again at night.
It has a dark color that could be mistaken for whiskey.
When heated up, it had a mild bitterness followed by a gentle sourness, which seemed to go well with meat dishes with miso or sauce.
Sweet and sour, sharpness of alcohol, and a hint of bitterness
It has various aspects in moderation, so it goes well with any meal.
Serve with gizzard and mushroom ajillo, etc.
Despite its rich sweet and sour taste that reminds one of strawberries, it is very elegant in its final moments and has a charm that makes one drink it without getting tired of it, which is no wonder it is so popular.
If time and financial resources permit, I would like to drink about 6 liters of this wine.
I ordered it because it was "Waseda University-approved," but it was the type of drink that goes well with a meal, and in light of the school's culture, a big question mark flashed through my mind.
It was a perfect day for a walk, so I bought it at a liquor store along the way.
It is a fine sake that has both a strong, old-fashioned taste and a lightness, but it may not be suitable for a walk on a sunny day.
The sweet and sour fruitiness of the taste preceded the sake until you put the sipper close to your nose and take a sip, but once you finish it, you can feel that you are drinking sake.
Serve with gizzard and mushroom ajillo
Sake with a robust rice flavor that is not overpowered by spicy food.
The subtle bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste seems to reset the palate and naturally makes the meal go faster.
Gizzard and mushroom ajillo served with firm tofu and squid koji
Fine bubbles rise when the bottle is opened, and the sweet, refreshing aroma heightens expectations.
In the mouth, the sake has a complex combination of light aroma, sweetness, pleasant gaseous sensation, and yet intoxicating alcohol.
