It was a sake with a Sake meter of +2, but it had a sweet and umami taste, and was also refreshing. It happened to be a perfect match for fried oysters with tartar sauce at this time of the year.
This was the first nigori sake I have had since joining Sake-no-wa. I mixed it very slowly, but I had to open and close the cork quite a lot to avoid a blowout. It was not as thick and refreshing as I had expected, and it went well with a variety of tsumami (Japanese rice wine).
I was browsing the shelves of a liquor store, thinking that most sake from Kochi Prefecture are dry, when I happened to pick up a label with the yeast CEL24. I was surprised when I bought it with absolutely no knowledge of sake, but it had a nice sharpness and was a good match with the sweet sake tsumami.
Good evening, MICHI.
Here, I also recently had a CEL24 sake from this brewery and was really surprised: ⤴️
I had an image of dry sake from Kochi Prefecture as well, so it's really a strange yeast ✨.
Thank you for your comment, ma-ki. Whenever I find sake from Kochi, including drunken whale, I always pick it up. I was really surprised this time. I was very impressed by the efforts of the sake brewers who devised various ways to produce the prefectural yeast.
The popular "brewer Kuheiji" was also a very rich and flavorful sake, but it also went well with the "Salmon Chanchan-yaki" and a variety of other tasty snacks.
I found it tasty and a little sweet. It seems that there are various kinds of sake rice (sake rice) and this may be suitable for understanding the differences.
