Is this allowed in sake? I am writing this while thinking about it.
Since we came all the way to Nara, we went to Harushika's direct sales store. The store is famous for sake comparison, but since I am driving today, I decided to buy some sake and go home.
I asked, "Which ones can I buy only here?" The first thing he explained to me was "Arare-shu" (arare-shu). The first thing he explained to me was that it was arare-shu, a type of mirin (sweet sake) for drinking. It is the oldest product in Harushika.
When I tried it, I was surprised.
I've never drunk mirin before, but the texture is something else. It is not sticky, and the taste is not like a seasoning, just a little sweeter than the very fruity sake. But it still has a unique flavor that is a bit different from sake. A sake version of dessert wine? It would be delicious on the rocks.
As it says "super dry", it is super dry. And it is deep. It smells like it is coming from deep inside. It is full-bodied. I am weak, but I think I will be going round and round after just one sip, but it seems to be a must for those who like dry taste.
I came across a wonderful sake.
I went into a sake store to buy a bottle of local sake. Kaori Petit Petit Petit"! It is made under a different theme every year, so you may never see it again.
Fruity, yet refreshing, and as the name suggests, the aroma spreads. Delicious.
