For a moment, you think it is water. But then the sourness, umami and spiciness gradually spread in your mouth. The aftertaste is quite pungent and lingers.
For the second day in a row, we had Risshun morning pressing.
Today is Ichinokura from Miyagi.
It has the same crisp, fresh, spring-like flavor that is probably common to Risshun Asa-Shibori.
When I realized it, I finished the four-pack easily.
After the refreshing Sawanoi, I tried the Kasen, another Tokyo local sake.
It's tense and a little spicy, with a sourness and a sake smell, and I think the word "rough" is accurate.
I think it's one of the flavors of sake that is not too tidy.
It's good, seasonal, new sake.
It is refreshing and clean. As it says on the back label, it's crystal clear.
I like Sawanoi as a representative of Tokyo's local sake.
I like the undiluted sake.
It's refreshing and the whole mouth feels tingly. The aftertaste is a sense of escape to the nose.
Combined with the rarity of freshly squeezed sake, it is satisfying.
A crisp, local sake made with Hokkaido-made Kitashizuku rice. Ginjo-shu! It's so refreshing that I wanted to tweak it.
It's too refreshing, and as soon as I drank it, I felt a single path to be taken by the flavors the creator wanted. (I don't know what that means.)
