I compared 4 kinds of sake when I went on a trip to Shodoshima.
Fluffy...as the name suggests, it has a fluffy and fruity aroma. It is sweet and easy to drink. The aftertaste is crisp.
Fufufu...You can taste the flavor of the rice well. The aroma is very much sake! It has a strong assertion that it is a sake. It leaves a tingling sensation in the throat.
Utofu...The feeling that you are drinking sake is strong. I felt the umami and richness of rice.
Bibibibi...The smell is clean, but the taste is powerful.
It was served cold with Osechi.
According to the label on the back, the best way to drink it is "well chilled" and "lukewarm.
The strong sweetness is followed by a spiciness. It has a strong sake taste.
I thought it would not go well with rice.
The first bite was "Sweet! The first sip was "Sweet! It seems to be promoted as a food sake, but it leaves a strong aftertaste of spiciness and sweetness, and I thought it might not go well with Japanese food because of its strong punch.
As a side note, I had it at the izakaya where Kill Bill was set☺️.
The sake recommended by the restaurant staff.
He said, "A high percentage of customers who order this sake always get another one!" He said.
It is true that the sake has little sweetness, but the alcohol content is low and the drink is refreshing.
At Yoneya in Chikusa. I asked for a sake that would go well with the drinks, and they served me a heated bottle of Asahi Kiku's Daichi. It was very mild on the palate. It has a strong aftertaste that lingers for a moment and then disappears quickly. As it cooled down, the sweetness and acidity seemed to become stronger. I prefer to enjoy it while it is still warm. It also goes well with oden soup stock.
It also goes well with oden soup.
We drank it at New Year's with Osechi.
It was served at room temperature. It's easy to drink, but the sourness and spiciness linger in the aftertaste. It has a strong fruity taste, so it doesn't seem to go well with salty meals such as meat. For Osechi, it goes well with sweet dishes such as kurikinton, black soybeans and datemaki.
It was the first time for me to go into a rice shop "Maihomu" in Chikusa. I asked for a sake that would go well with rice, and they served me Asahi Kiku. On this day, we had sashimi of mackerel, deep-fried kelp with baby kelp, and simmered sea bream.
It was certainly a sake with a good flavor that went well with the dishes, without being too assertive. It was not too spicy, so it was easy to drink. It was served hot.
At "Fermented Bar Kamosu", a standing bar in Nagano station. We had it with potato salad with nozawana. It was introduced as a dry sake, but it felt like water on the tongue and I could drink it smoothly. I'm not good at spicy sake, but this is delicious. It goes well with potato salad.
