21.12. It is written "tono" and called "shingari" (apparently). This one also has a subtle yeast mash flavor. I'm reminded again of the high percentage of sake made by heated sake shops. Am I a wicked maniac for heated sake?
21.12. Naturally delicious because it is Inadahime. It has a bit of a target flavor because it's a daiginjo, but it doesn't bother me when it's heated up. Personally, I prefer the Junmai Ginjo I had before.
21.11 I finally drank one of the rumored bottles that won the 2019 Platinum Award at the Kura Master sake competition. I'm not sure what to make of it... I'm not sure what to make of it, but it's the most flamboyant sake I've ever tasted 😅 and it's so flamboyant that one glass was enough for me 😅😅.
I'm not going to complain, but I'm going to try to warm it up. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not.
It's not as good as the Shinsei No.6 that I had... I have mixed feelings about it because I'm a Haneya fan😞.
21.11 Probably the most well-balanced of all the sparkling sake I've had. The sake flavor is more subtle than Haneoya, but not as light as Mio or Suzune.
21.10. I've pulled out the Ikan, so I went to Katsukoma for a palate cleanser (sorry 😅). It's not too hot, but it's not too cold either. It's still very stable. It's a dry type of umakuchi. It was so good that I got carried away and had another glass of Hayashi in cold water😆.
I haven't tried it cold, but I can drink it hot for a long time with a good sense of solidity. I don't think it would have been as good if it had been made with a traditional yeast mash. I was intrigued by the use of Omachi, but...
21.10. If you drink it straight away, the peculiar sourness will be very assertive. But it is well-balanced when paired with sashimi. Of course, it should be served hot.
21.08. 300ml Kochi, the third of the three games. It has a very dry taste. It's like Sapporo Black Label. The name is peculiar, but it's really a Showa-style hot-warmed partridge. I think it's best served hot, because it's too vague when served cold.
