Marriage with aged sake.
Although I knew it would be a good match, I tried it with Junmai-shu (junmai-shu) at room temperature!
It went well with it!
Yum!
It has been quite a while since I bought a bottle of Kurogyu.
As usual, it is heated sake.
I tried to warm it up!
The acidity is strong.
It's a standard junmai sake from Meite-san, but I like the taste and aroma. ☺️
I just uncorked this bottle, so I have a feeling that I can look forward to seeing how it changes after opening.
A matured sake made from 100% Omachi, a modified Omachi rice called Genki-mai, with a rich, umami taste and a matured aroma!
It's so good!
It's a waste, so I'll enjoy it slowly over the next few days.
I drank a junmai sake from Okuharima.
100% Hyogo Yume Nishiki
The conclusion was that I really liked the taste.
As usual, I warmed the sake and took a sip. It has a strong umami flavor, and I got the impression that it would be good with fatty red meat, even in sashimi. It can also be used with meat.
I liked the taste so much that I tried it cold, and to my surprise, the sweetness was more pronounced. The sweetness is more pronounced. I like it cold, too.
Okuharima is so deep!
A bottle of wine was uncorked.
As expected, it is slightly acidic. The lactic acidity is bursting out of it.
The aging is just right. The color is golden.
The side dish that goes well with this bottle is rice with baby sardines.
I was a little worried... because it had been offered for nearly 10 months.
No matter!
It's a wonder, Tamanohikari!
Perhaps because it is from Fushimi, it has a soft impression on the palate!
But it has the lingering length of an Omachi, and the freshness of a Junmai Ginjo. It's so good!
Third in a series on homecoming.
This is the third bottle after returning to my parents' house for New Year's.
It is a local Ibaraki sake, Tsumugibijin by Nomura Brewery, Yamahai special junmai sake.
I bought it because I saw this brand's Yamahai for the first time in a store.
For a Yamahai sake, it gives the impression of being smooth and refreshing. The aroma is restrained, and it is dry, with a solid alcohol taste and rice flavor.
I tried it warmed, and it went well with strong flavored meals such as pickles and kinpira.
We were not sure which rice was used as the ingredient, which was a bit disappointing. I wish they would be more aware of the terroir.
The price was around 1,400 yen, so I opened the bottle with high expectations, but I think it will be even more delicious with more umami after about 1.5 years of aging.
Takeyuki, a local sake!
This first-class sake has been featured in Mishinbo.
Since I was back home and didn't have my favorite sake cup, I heated sake in a teacup!
It's dry, but has a strong umami flavor, just as you would expect from a Yuki sake.
Ibaraki also has some delicious sake!
I went back home!
The No. 1 local sake brewed by a high school senior.
It is young and fizzy (slightly sparkling) because it was pressed for the first time.
I enjoy it every year without any change!
It is shipped to metropolitan areas under the name "Urasato".
A bottle of Okuharima is uncorked!
It is a golden-colored Yamahai Junmai sake. It looks delicious.
It is served lukewarm.
It is dry and full of flavor. It has a nice sharpness and a long aftertaste that is unique to Yamada-Nishiki.
It goes very well with nabe (hot pot) and yudofu (tofu).
The moment it was opened, it was gassy and spongy, and when you drank it, it had a slightly gassy, smooth, delicious mouthfeel. I liked the taste.
It is a test brew, but I think it is good for year-round release.
