We had a cold and warmed bottle of Kurogyu for the Year of the Ox.
The label has a picture of a bull on it, which means it is made from Omachi.
It has a slightly acidic and rice-like flavor when served cold.
Warmed up, it tastes sweeter.
Happy New Year!
The first bottle of this year is Hato Masamune's Zodiac sign bottle.
It has a cute label with a dove (hat) coming out of a hat (bogyu). It has a sweet taste with a crisp acidity and a refreshing aftertaste.
On the night of New Year's Eve, we had a glass of Hirotogawa Nigori, which is very popular at Sake-no-wa.
It was a little sour when we opened it, so we let it sit for about three days, and it was sweet, tasty, and refreshing, and we could drink as much as we wanted.
They call it "the ultimate food juggernaut".
It has a refreshing taste that goes well with the thickly seasoned stir-fried mullet belly button and Shimonita leeks.
Which one would you prefer to pair with seared beef tongue? I asked for a bottle of Kido Junmai Daiginjo, which was recommended to me.
It has a refreshing taste that washes away the oil from the beef tongue.
