Unusually, the bottle was opened at the beginning of the week. It is a snow-viewing sake. It is a sake with the flavor of Niigata-like rice melted into it. It is delicious and fruity.
The rice flavor that doesn't linger, the sourness comes and the zing is still on the tongue. It is difficult to describe due to my lack of study. I wonder if I am sensing that the yeast is alive.... It has a sharp taste with no sweetness.
Sake of the month for December. Since it is a Kamikawa Taisetsu, one might expect it to be fresh, but it has a solid body. It tends to taste like Yamahai, but the peculiarities are well controlled. It seems to go well with cheese and smoked food.
Aroma is moderate. The alcohol is strong. The alcohol content is 16%. It is a bit hard on a body that has had too much to drink during the year-end and New Year holidays. It is not bad with pickled Chinese cabbage. Let's drink it again when it is in good condition.
A souvenir from my wife's business trip to Toyama last year. I know that people in the Hokuriku area are going through a hard time, but I pray for the earliest possible restoration and recovery. By the way, this is the first time for me to drink Katsuma. It has a beautiful Hokuriku-like flavor, but at the same time, it has an alcoholic taste that says "Sake! I think it might be more delicious if it is heated up. Maybe it tastes even better when heated, so I'll try it later.
On New Year's Day, we opened a bottle of our favorite Jikin. It is easy to drink and the flavor permeates the body. This is the first time I have had sake made with Hakutsuru-Nishiki.
A little early, but I opened the zodiac bottle. The label of a cat with a dragon mask is cute. Satisfied with the sweet and tasty flavor that is typical of Takachiyo. There is no sourness. I think it is more suitable for Christmas than for the crisp morning of New Year's Day.
Imanaya GUITO! vol.4 November Sake. A smell that I have never felt so much. Sweetness and sourness that lingers on the back of the tongue with a lingering first impression. This is an interesting taste.
When was the last time you drank modern Sentori? I was again impressed by its deliciousness. I think this is one completed form. The fresh smell of new sake. A light taste. It finishes with a slight bitterness and acidity, so you can drink it as much as you want.
Today's sake is from Fukui Prefecture. Fresh aroma. A slightly bitter taste lingers on the tongue. At the same time, the taste of rice fills your mouth. It would have been nice to leave it for New Year's.
My wife bought this sake as a souvenir from a business trip to Toyama. It is easy to drink with a moderate sweetness. My main request was Katsikoma, but it is also delicious enough. I will keep the Katsuma for a little while longer, but I am amazed at the potential of Toyama's sake.
Sake given to me by a friend. It has a sweet taste. It is elegant and wonderful. I put it in the fridge to hold back my desire to drink more, as I think it will taste even better if I let it sit for a little longer. I wonder what kind of snacks I should make to go with this sake.
Little aroma and hard taste. It looks like the flowers will open up after a little more time. Currently it is just beautiful. I wonder if the flavor will expand after this.
