I drank it in January but haven't been able to post it, fear of slacking off! Anyway, it was delicious, I would definitely get this sake again next season.
Purchased on a trip to Shizuoka last year. I thought I'd like to drink it hot in winter, but the label said it was recommended to drink it cold! I was surprised. The brewery is very particular. I had it cold and lukewarm. It tasted like a ginjo-shu.
Influenced by Sake-no-Wawa's post, I really wanted to try it and bought sake by mail order for the first time. I'm having a nice New Year's Eve, thanks!
Which sake to buy in the places you visit? This time, in Shizuoka...I decided on Kaiun. And after drinking it, my choice was right! Mellow, refreshing, with just the right amount of umami! Right in the middle of my favorites.
It has a sake-like alcohol taste, but it has a nice sharpness that makes it a good mid-meal sake. By the way, I'm on a trip to Izu right now, looking forward to buying some Shizuoka sake on the way home!
It's summer arabashiri, but I finished drinking it at the end of September. It was a summer arabashiri, but I finished drinking it at the end of September, which is good because there are still many hot days. It was a refreshing and tasty summer sake.
This is a doburoku from a private residence in Tango, Kyoto. I bought it at a roadside station during a summer drive; it was bottled in July and is piquant and delicious.
The crowdfunding return I received in February, I had to put it to bed to get to this point. It has a robust flavor, yet blends naturally with meals. A bona fide sake.
I couldn't get this icebreaker in Kyoto due to timing issues. I had heard that it tastes great on its own or heated up, but here I went with it on the rocks as usual (it was hot, after all!). Even though I am not a strong drinker, I couldn't stop myself from drinking it in gulps.
I purchased this app during a long drive from Shimanami Kaido to Dogo Onsen on a Saturday, a little off the May holiday weekend. Sake-no-wa, I really appreciate this app when purchasing local sake on vacation!
It is refreshing but also has a strong sake flavor.
