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.
It's been a while since I've had it, but it's delicious. It is fruity, but the balance of sweetness is excellent. The aroma is not so strong, so it's not as gorgeous when you drink it outside, but it's the best when you drink it at home.
A nearby liquor store sells Takashi, but today they had some raw sake. I guess I should call it "mellow umakuchi" which is not too harsh. It is excellent as a food sake. Today I paired it with dried bonito tataki (bonito chop), and it was no match for the peculiar taste of straw-roasted bonito.
The aroma is light, but when you drink it, it is a Junmai sake. It does not have a heavy, heavy feeling, but you can taste the bitterness. It has a complex taste. Although it is a draft sake, I think it would be better warmed up. It is a sake that is difficult to decide how to drink or pair with other sake.
It is easy to drink, with less acidity than the seasonal Sengoku series. It has more umami on the palate. I have become a fine sake drinker who can feel the change of seasons with SENKYO's seasonal series.
