御前酒1859 雄町 ✕ 菩提酛純米

12/17/2024, 11:13:10 AM

Gozenshu," a sake I came across while on a business trip. It was intriguing, as it was made entirely from Omachi and Bodaihashiro. As the bottle was opened, there was a pleasant "pop" sound when the bottle was opened. In the mouth, the juicy sweetness, acidity, and slight bitterness are like Omachi. I was a bit nervous about "Bodai yeast," but it has a moderate body, so it goes down smoothly. We served it with pork and mushroom radish as a mealtime sake, and it is a good sake that asserts itself while taking advantage of the deliciousness of the dish.

I will have a cup of rice wine for the weekend. It is a special pure Yamahai sake. When you put it in your mouth, you feel a subtle stimulation on the tip of your tongue that you are not sure if it is gas or sourness. Then, you can feel the juicy apple-like light sweetness, acidity, and umami. The sake is firm and thick, which is probably only possible with Yamahai. It is a very well-balanced sake. It is easy to drink on its own. Tasake's Yamahai with grilled sardines as a side dish. I can't get enough of it.

Gagakuyo, whom I had hoped to meet somewhere.... Suddenly, we met. I brought it home with me. There is not much information that can be read from the label, except that it is junmai sake and "needs to be kept cold. When the bottle is opened, there is a pleasant "pop" sound. After pouring it into a glass and waiting a little, fine bubbles appear. In the mouth, there is a fine gas, grape, and rummy sweetness, followed by sourness and a slight bitterness at the back of the tongue, and then it finishes quickly. If I had a crab, I would want to drink it while feeling the crab vinegar. Since we don't have such a thing, I had it with chilled tofu, which I always have on hand all year round, with olive oil + nama shoyu for a crispy taste.

It has become completely cold, but new sake is being sold one after another. This weekend, we will enjoy new sake from Tasake. The bottle is a light blue transparent bottle. You can feel the freshness of the new sake. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the fine gas and soft sweetness together. There is no negative taste or aroma at all, and it is easy to drink all the time. As you commented, I didn't feel like I drank 4 gou of sake...but I could tell when it started to stand up. This wobble is indeed 4 gou.

Finally, the first bottles have appeared. We are looking forward to the season when fresh sake will start to appear on the shelves. The abura of the cold yellowtail is also nice. When you take a saké into your mouth, you will feel a fresh gasiness spreading out, and a refreshing sweetness of apple and lychee flavors will spread. There is almost no bitterness or astringency, and the alcohol content is 15%. It has a light taste with an alcohol content of 15%. It is a delicious sake that can be enjoyed on its own. The sake is too much to be served with cold yellowtail. It is not a dry Tsuneyama, but a sweet and tasty Tsuneyama of today's style.

Snowman came to our house again this year. Last year's entrée was nozawana. This year it is vinegared yam and baby sardines. When the bottle is opened, the lees rising from the bottom of the bottle is a nice touch. In the mouth, it is full of fresh gas, but it also has umami and bitterness, and although the alcohol content is 13%, you can feel the alcohol taste. It is a good sake on its own as well. (Postscript) The second day, it still has a certain amount of gas, but the taste is more subdued, which is more to my liking.

Suidama" is a sake from Ryoseki Shuzo in Hanayu. We were able to get it at the right time. It is a once-fired jungin made with "Kame-no-o" from Akita Prefecture. 　It has a fluffy sweetness, firm acidity, and moderate bitterness without any gassiness. It is a delicious sake with a gentle mouthfeel with a very good overall balance without any negative connotations. 　We enjoyed it with a boiled egg to flatten out the palate and with a side dish of nozawana greens.

It has been a long time since we have had a "beware of opening the bottle" lees-related draft sake. The screw cap was opened and tightened to adjust for the gas that was rising. It has a light mouthfeel due to the strong gassiness. It has a strong umami flavor. It does not have the cemedine taste that we felt in the previous nama sake. I entered into an endless loop of drinking and eating, alternating with the grilled sardines. I have to work tomorrow, but I'm in a pinch because I almost finished it. It was a delicious sake.

A pleasant popping sound when the bottle is opened. The glass is also filled with a shrieking sensation that causes blisters to form on the glass. When you put your mouth close to the glass, you can already smell the melon-like aroma. When you put it in your mouth, the fine gas and melon aroma comes in a big bang, and it is a fresh feeling full of freshness, but to me it smells like cemedine, which was a little disappointing.

This is a daiginjo version of the Kamo Nishiki packaged sake sold at Yamaya. Compared to the Junmai Ginjo, it has a cleaner taste with less clutter. It would be nice to have a little more umami on top, but at 2,480 yen for 1.8 liters, it is very cost effective. The Junmai Ginjo, priced at 1980 yen for 1.8 liters, also left me with the impression that it was fresh and tasty in early spring, with some gasiness and more glucose. Kamonishiki is doing well.

This is a Junmai Daiginjo from Fukumitsuya in Kanazawa. There was also a Kagatobi hiyaoroshi, but this time we chose this one. The bottle is 500 ml long and narrow, and the label is very particular. It is made from Yamada-Nishiki with a rice polishing ratio of 50% and is fire-aged. In the mouth, there is a hint of sweetness and rice flavor. It has a slight sweetness and rice flavor, followed by a bit of sourness and a refreshing finish. The alcohol content is 15% and the light taste makes it easy to drink. We enjoyed it with dried kinme fish. Since it is 500ml, I think I will drink the whole bottle.

This sake is a collaboration between the Shirafuji Sake Brewery in Wajima and the Aburacho Sake Brewery in Kaze no Mori. Following the warning, we opened the bottle with a sense of urgency. The cork pops and the bottle is in your hand. When we poured it into the glass, it was full of gas, with bubbles on the inside of the glass. The label on the back says it is made with aromatic Kanazawa yeast. When you take a sip, the gaseous sensation comes on quickly, but the flavor of the rice and the gorgeous ginjo aroma also come on in a big burst. Although it is a gaseous sake, it is not only fresh, but also has a good body when it rolls on the tongue. The ultra-hard brewing water and unfiltered, unadulterated water are the best ingredients to make this sake. This is delicious. It is good to enjoy the taste of the sake on its own with chikuwa-ya (chikuwa and chilled tofu) as a side dish so that it does not interfere with the sake. I wonder if Mr. Shirafuji will be okay if the river floods in Wajima City due to the occurrence of a linear precipitation zone. It's hard to watch the TV images.

This is Kurumata-san's hiyaoroshi. The color of Tengumai is a proof of its deliciousness. It is a delicious hiyaoroshi with a mellow, mellow flavor that combines the mellowness of the Sakuiso type and the freshness of the freshness of the raw ingredients. It is better to be served with simmered or grilled dishes than with light sashimi.

This is a future product of Azuma Sake Brewery in Komatsu and Mr. Nakajima, who was affected by the disaster in Wajima. It has a strong acidity when drunk on its own, but when paired with tomato dishes, it is a sake that is strangely deliciously sweet and never tiring to drink. I would like to see more of the story of Mr. Nakashima's brewery in Wajima, and I would like to see more assertion of it on the label. It may take time, but he is still a young master brewer, so I am rooting for the revival of "Noto Suehiro" in the future.

This junmai ginjo is made from 100% "Fukunoka" rice, which is a good rice for sake brewing in Fukushima. It is not gassy, and as the yellow label suggests, it has a mild sweetness of fluffy bananas, moderate bitterness and acidity. It is a sake that can be sipped slowly while enjoying the flavors. I am enjoying "Uncle Ikezaki's Cat" with kombu-maki kamaboko and nozawana greens as a side dish.

Among the cool summer sake lined up, I was attracted to the "Aizan" label with a strong presence. A pleasant pop sound when the bottle was opened. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the gas on the tip of your tongue, and the sweet and sour Aizan juicy flavor spreads in your mouth. The apple aroma coming through the nose is also a contributing factor to its deliciousness. We wanted to taste a beautiful sake in a beautiful way and enjoyed it with a side dish of cold tofu.

This is Houou Mita, which was waiting for its turn in the vegetable room to be drunk slowly during the Bon vacation. I couldn't wait for dinner, so I drank a light glass with something dry. It is a strong sake with a strong sense of sake and assertiveness, with a hint of gas, sweetness and acidity. If you serve it with soft food, you may be defeated by the sake. Open a bottle of sea urchin tofu and enjoy it slowly.

Following the original last time, this time we had a collaborative version with Eiheiji Hakuryu. It is made with FK801C, a yeast developed by Fukui Prefecture, and has a light apple-like sourness and sweetness with a gorgeous aroma that lingers on the palate. As the label states on the back, this is "an unusual combination" for Shirafuji's sake. This is delicious. The new "Okunoto's Shirakiku" was delicious.

Shirafuji Brewery was severely damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake. This is an "original recipe reproduction sake" of "Okunotono Shirakiku" brewed in Eiheiji, Fukui, using Yamadanishiki and Gohyakumangoku that were stored in the brewery in Wajima at the time of the earthquake. With the cooperation of Yoshida Shuzo, the original version and the collaboration version are sold as a set. This is its "original version. The soft acidity, refreshing sweetness, and rice flavor are well balanced in the mouth, and you will say, "Okunoto Shirakiku is delicious after all! In this way, we are very much looking forward to the collaboration sake of Hakuryu and Shirakiku that lies in the refrigerator.
