The brother, who is very good at heating sake, poured it for us. Lukewarm to top warming
It's so delicious! It's a very good sake! I think I'm going to wake up to heated sake!
Yamahai by Naohiko Noguchi Institute!
Various aromas in the mouth are rampant in the mouth! There is even a nuance of natto (fermented soybeans)!
Some kind of chemical sweetness! Spicy! Spicy!
But, it was strangely nice when combined with a meal. It was not too much, so I served it with a can of mackerel miso. Is it an honor student who provides just the right amount of sweetness to dishes with strong flavors?
This girl was quite unique...
We are proud to present Kurokyu's flagship sake!
The aroma is mellow and indescribable. It has no sourness and spiciness, yet it cuts through easily. It is like water, but not watery. The sweetness of Kuroryu has been refined by aging, and it is irresistible. There is nothing unpleasant about it. After all, Koryu is the king. ......
Beautiful light blue bottle with Echizen Japanese paper label. I appreciate it.
Kuroryu's supreme mission is to brew sake that goes well with Fukui's food. I thought it would be impolite to use ordinary snacks, so I prepared a steak of Hokuriku beef hiwachi and heshiko cream cheese.
The fat and salt from the meat and the acidity and salt from the heshiko cream cheese complemented the elements that were missing from the Koryu and brought a high-end five-flavor experience.
It is not a brand with an imperial warrant, but... Sumeramikoto, or No Saka!
Since I have some free time, I'd like to introduce one of Fukui's most recommended sake.
There are many sweet and delicious sake, but this Tominari-ki Kasumi Nama-no-Harami is the one that surprised me and became the fastest repeater in my life. It has an astonishing melon pear type fruity and freshness, not at all inferior to Urasoko, a popular sake from Hayaseura. It was so good that I emptied it in two days and went out to buy a bottle.
Kitanosho, produced by the Funaki Sake Brewery, is a common brand in Fukui. It has a strong sense of maturity, or takuwan, and is more the type of sake you would want to drink cold or warm while eating oden under the cold weather, rather than the trendy sake to be enjoyed.
That is why I was so shocked when I drank this sake. To put it another way, I came to eat at Machuuka, but the chef had a star on his menu! It was like that.
I heard that the brand name "Tominari-ki" was named after the excitement of having finally arrived at the taste I was aiming for. I highly recommend that those who did not like Kitanosho drink it. Fortunately? It is not as well known as other brands, so you can often find it in the refrigerators of liquor stores in Fukui.
P.S. By the way, the 3rd and 4th pictures, the limited 200-ounce bottle of Tominari Kikinriki Shinriki, had a strong takuwan sensation, as if Kitanosho had been further aged... Why...? Conversely, it is a "buy" for those who like Kitanosho.
I had an image of barley shochu in Oita, but it seems that there are also some tasty sakes!
It was as sweet and refreshing as the other sake we drank this day!
Thick dossier!
It's hard to believe it's a high-alcoholic beverage! I drank this sake with a deep appreciation for its high alcohol content!
It is expensive for a pure rice sake, but it is very tasty. The specific name is just for decoration.
No photo, at a food stall village when I returned home. Junmai or Jungin
I had the impression that most of the izakayas in Kagoshima did not have sake, or if they did, it was not good! I had no idea that such a modern, mellow, sweet and delicious sake had been born. ......
I was convinced after checking it out. Nishi Shuzo can do this job, can't they?
It is the driest sake in the brewery, but the sweetness is well-balanced and easy to drink. Very mellow...
Not too trendy, not too modern, not too old-fashioned.
This Fukuchitose is a sake from a brewery where the father makes traditional Yamahai sake and the son (the current brewer) is trying a new style of sake that has its roots in wine brewing. This sake is the brainchild of the current brewer.
Although the brand names are the same, the two pillars are parallel, so if you like it at a bar and want to buy it to take home, it is good to taste it before buying it! Both pillars are sure of their ability in that line.
