呑みとく's Profile

It is outstandingly delicious with its junmai-like flavor and the clean sweetness of hiyaoroshi (grated sake). We had it with yakitori (grilled chicken), but it can also be served with akitogi, yakisoba (fried noodles), and okonomiyaki (okonomiyaki). The price of 1,000 yen is also very reasonable.

Dry. As it is called a barrel sake, it has a pleasant aroma with a hint of barrel wood. Serve with horse sashimi, cheese, and smoked nuts.

It is a sweet sake that is delicious cold as well. I prefer it lukewarm rather than hot. Oden goes well with it. Second class sake, inexpensive, and perfect for home drinking.

Junmai Daiginjo is best served cold. Hot sake is also delicious with an added sweetness. It may not be the way to go, but I like to pair it with okonomiyaki.

This Junmai Daiginjo was made for export. It is not a typical fruity daiginjo, but has a robust flavor like yamahai. According to the brewer's description, it is recommended to be served hot or topped up with sake, so next time I would like to try it hot.

It has a sweetness and acidity more like wine than sake, and at 8% alcohol by volume, it is easy to drink. I wonder how it is made. For aperitifs.
