Purchased at Isetan Kyoto. Along with Saba Sushi Dashi Maki Bento from Kyoto Daitokuji.
A feast!
The following is from the official website.
'With a rich flavor and an aroma more reminiscent of grass and herbs than flowers, this is a food sake with a strong presence. It goes well with a wide range of foods, especially when paired with ingredients that have an acrid or bitter taste, such as wild vegetables, bamboo shoots, and rape blossoms."
Long time since my last visit to Kyoto! I found it on sale at a convenience store at the exit of the bullet train, so I searched the app and found a flavor chart shape that I had not seen before ("mild" is strongly pronounced), and I liked the sake that it resembled, so I bought it.
I bought it because I liked a similar sake! Mellow and mild. Mellow, mild, but not too much, and it goes away quickly. It is very Kyoto-like.
I think it would go well with Kyoto-style obanzai, one of the most popular Japanese dishes. I would like to make some Kyoto-style obanzai after I get home and enjoy the marriage. Mibuna and fried bean curd, deep-fried and soaked Kamo eggplant, fried flying fish head with starchy sauce, etc...(^^) Thanks for the meal!
Sake from Tokyo, first time!
I bought this sake because it was ranked #1 in Tokyo by this app.
It has a moderate aroma for an Omachi sake, and a clear, dry taste.
It does not interfere with meals.
I enjoyed it while sipping on a flying sushi side dish.
A great treat!
I am considering taking a trip to Akita in the new year! In preparation, we first had dinner at Yukino Kayasha.
It's my favorite type of sake. It has a floral aroma in the mouth, but then it settles down and you get a sense of what Tohoku is like. It is a good sake at a reasonable price! My partner said, "It's like Toyama's Katsuma.
Tonight we will have sushi as a souvenir and yudofu from Sanosuke Tofu.
Thank you very much for your hospitality!
Hououmida Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Hon Nama
Sake rice: Sake Mirai
It was freshly pressed this year.
It was gorgeous and my favorite! The sake maker told us to enjoy the taste after a few days of drinking. I'm looking forward to it!
We enjoyed it with "Dashi Shabu Nabe" (dashi shabu hot pot), a series of pots from Chinosha, and a simple Kansai-style dashi broth-based hot pot. Thanks for the meal!
JUNMAI DAIGINJO SAYSFARM OAK BARREL TYPE-R 2019 Production quantity 636
Manjusen x SAYSFARM Sake: "Manjusen Junmai Daiginjo SAYSFARM Oak Barrel Aged TYPE-R" is a joint project with Masuda Sake Brewery "Manjusen" which has a brewery in Higashi Iwase, Toyama, where the sake is aged in the wine barrels used at SAYSFARM.
Purchased in Toyama. My favorite sake for a long time! The sake cup is a glass inokuchi or wine glass.
It seems to hit just the right balance between wine and sake! It seems to be good with rocky food which wine is not good with. It seems to go well with creative sushi. Not cheese or cured ham, but fried chicken or chikuzen-ni are too strong. I hear that the need for sake when eating Japanese food is increasing in Europe!
I thought that a pasta with squid would be a good match, so instead of squid, I bought sea urchin squid and made it into a pasta with green shiso. I bought some "sea urchin squid" instead and arranged it in pasta with green shiso. Thank you!
