Moon Series Continued
Harvest Moon purchased from the last rod at the liquor store.
This year's Harvest Moon has a pungent taste with a hint of hydrogenated alcohol.
It seems to go well with nabe (hot pot) dishes.
When my favorite liquor store informed me that the last lot of Harvest Moon was in stock, I rushed out to buy it and found that Summer Moon was still available and bought it together with Harvest Moon.
Nabeshima is usually hard and fragile when opened, but Summer Moon had been bottled for 3 months, so it was well nurtured and had a gorgeous flavor!
It is not only a refreshing summer sake, but also goes well with autumnal snacks!
It has been a long time since I last drank sake after a period of about a little over a month of abstinence from alcohol due to a medical checkup and studying for a qualification.
This year, too, I've been waiting for the sake from Keiraku over the summer.
I really look forward to this every year so I can work hard.
This year, too, the balance was excellent.
Mellow, tropical fruit-like flavorful sweetness, natural acidity, and bitterness.
natural acidity and bitterness.
In the midst of high world prices, it is great to be in Japan where this masterpiece is available at a reasonable price!
I bought beetles again this year, but I let them lie around a little too long.
The acidity has grown and matured a bit from its usual fresh, cool taste.
This is delicious, but I should have drunk it a little earlier.
Atago no matsu, an excellent food sake
This was the first brand I had seen as a summer-only sake, so I popped it in without a second thought.
It was refreshing without being too assertive.
I guess the name "one summer love" refers to this refreshing and fleeting taste.
It's been a long time since I've had a sake like Sunday Back Nine.
I don't play golf or drink sake, but Sunday Back Nine is one of my favorite sake.
It's rich and juicy, and goes well with solid flavored snacks.
Mutsu Hachisen's summer sake.
It has an exquisite balance of alkaloids and a wonderful spiciness and sweetness of rice, making it a refreshing sake even in summer.
It is invincible and goes well with sashimi, somen noodles, and anything else!
I returned from my first business trip to Thailand in a while and had my first sake in about a week. The sake I chose was Masamune.
I was told that it is brewed by a mixed brewing method that uses Yamada-Nishiki as the main ingredient and several other rice varieties.
It has the same light rummy taste that is typical of Musical Instrument Masamune, which is perfect for summer.
This is what I like about it.
Summer sake has begun to appear.
The first one of the season is skunk cabbage, which I was curious about.
It is a refreshing summer sake with a light sweetness and an initial bitterness.
I like it hot in winter, but I like it best cold in summer.
I will drink a lot of summer sake this year.
First work in a while.
My most favorite Enochi.
A balance of beautiful acidity and bitterness.
A gorgeous sake with a refreshing pear-like aftertaste that lingers for a long time.
It is fun to drink.
As a lover of kijoshu, I couldn't resist buying this kijoshu from Miyazumi.
It is not a sticky, rich sweetness, but a refreshing sweetness.
After a few days of aging, it becomes juicy and bananasweet, just like my favorite Nagoshu from Keiraku.
Definitely one of my favorites.
Kijoshu is delicious, isn't it?
I like it too. When I see your postings at Sake no Wasa, I really want to try a variety of sake, even if only a little at a time.
It has been a while since I started drinking Nabeshima before the holidays.
I like to drink Nabeshima a few days after opening the cork, enjoying the changes as it gradually returns to room temperature.
This one has the characteristic spiciness and freshness of nama-shu at its core, and as the temperature rises, a lingering aftertaste spreads through the nose.
Sake is really a wonderful drink👍.
