Easy to drink but slightly sweet, it went well with sukiyaki. I like sake, not just this sake, because it has a pleasant aftertaste that gradually follows the flavor as you drink it. It was delicious!
Hiyaoroshi (2)
As soon as it enters the mouth, the spiciness and sweetness of the alcohol are perceived somewhat strongly.
As it is warmed by the temperature in the mouth, the umami is gradually felt in the back of the throat.
When paired with buri daikon (radish), a favorite dish of mine, the umami from earlier is clearly expressed as "the sweet umami of rice". The spiciness has been removed and a pleasant umami and sweetness spreads in a rounded way. ......
To be honest, I don't often taste rice in sake itself. ...... but, as in this case, I can feel the sweetness and umami of rice when I chew it well, and it makes me happy to realize that sake is made with rice. It makes me happy to realize that the sake is made from rice. Delicious!
As usual, it is difficult to describe the aroma and taste I feel... If I could use a concrete metaphor like the name of an ingredient, I would be able to get closer to the charm of the sake in front of me, but I can neither perceive nor verbalize it in an abstract way yet. Practice is the only way!
Hiyoroshi, which I had reserved!
At first it was hiya. The aroma is mild. Different type from floral and fruity.
Slightly acidic, fresh, and grapefruity. The aftertaste is alcoholic, but somehow it fits easily on the tongue and can be downed.
Drink it cold two days after opening the bottle! It is easier to drink than hiya, but the umami is still there.
I was impressed with the pairing of this sake with the head of the swordfish!
The head by itself was just bitter, but when the sake was added, the umami showed its face... and the deepening umami aftertaste............umaaaaaaaaaaa.........
I can't eat saury without "funei" from now on!
The grilled satsuma-age was also a good accompaniment, but I think lukewarm heating would bring out the best.
Thanks for the food!
Next time, I'd like to let it sit longer before heating it up.
Good evening, Mr. Hinayama 😃.
Mr. Brahma! I've never had it 🥲 but I've reserved hiyaoroshi! Looks delicious 😙.
I knew watashi was delicious with sake 😋.
Good evening, Jay & Nobii-san. I thought that the guts of the Akinatai fish were all bitter, but I never realized that it would be such a wonderful treat when combined with sake....
I could understand why they say it is a great match for fishy smells 😌.
Attracted by the label design...
I had some left over from the other day, so I compared the two.
The color of this one is clear like water, but the taste is stronger...
While the Saku has a gorgeous sweet aroma and is perfectly integrated like water, the aroma of this one is not nearly as gorgeous....
The taste is also a bit tangy, and although I can't describe it well, there are some points that make me go "hmmm? I can't describe it well, but there are some parts that make me go, "Hmm?
But I don't dislike the aftertaste. I like it.
Every sake I've had so far has a point where I "like this part" or "don't like this part," and if I can better verbalize it, I'll be able to find more and more sake to my liking. ......
I have been wanting to drink Tamanomitsu for a long time!
The aroma is like the umami sweetness of rice! It is a different kind of sweetness from the floral and fruity.
Is this the type of sake where the aroma matches the taste? The umami of the rice comes onto the tongue just as the aroma suggests....
I paired it with sushi, but I think it would be best matched with more flavorful Japanese food.
It is somewhat rich, so it would be good with nabe dishes in winter!
Souvenir of a trip from my grandparents.
It has a sweet and gorgeous aroma.
The taste is sweet, but in a good way.
I don't think I felt much umami.
I was trying to restrain myself from drinking too much because I have an early day tomorrow, but... I kept pouring more into the glass and ended up drinking almost 1 gong.
I wrote that the flavor was not so good, but when I drank it later, I could feel the flavor. Is it because some time has passed after opening the bottle? Delicious ......
A summer sake I wanted to try!
As the name suggests, it is refreshing and cool to drink.
The umami taste is unexpectedly strong and follows it. It is good because I like umami better!
I looked up how to make sake on the internet and tried it, but I have no idea how to do it. ......
I couldn't find any nuance of muscat or melon that was mentioned in the flavor introduction. ...... If I had to guess, I would say that the refreshing sweetness was almost minty.
I thought it would go well with dishes with acidity, so I prepared some marinated dishes, but the salmon sashimi I had later matched it better... Maybe it goes better with simple snacks like sashimi and salt grilled fish.
I looked it up in Sake to go with Sushi.
The aroma is elegant and gentle rather than floral, and the taste is watery and smooth, with a gentle aftertaste.
Because of its elegant flavor, it was outclassed by seasoned meat dishes and cheese, so it is indeed a sake that goes well with vinegared rice and sashimi...
This sake brings back memories!
When I was just learning to drink and had no special interest in sake, my father gave me this sake because he said it was delicious and easy to drink.
It was bananas, plain and simple! I remember thinking that it was indeed easy to drink.
When I drank it again, the aroma of banana was still very clear. This is amazing even though it is not a ginjo.
However, although I don't dislike the aroma, the aftertaste is a bit sweet. I don't like the aftertaste. I don't like the aftertaste.
I think that this flavor usually accompanies any sake that I personally find tasteless.
I think my taste buds have become more discerning than back then.
Wandering around a liquor store looking for spring sake, I fell in love with the visual of the bottle and bought it!
Instead of cherry blossom viewing 🌸
rice cooked with sakura shrimps and edamame, spring rolls with ume plum, white meat, shiso leaves and cheese, fried mentaiko shirataki mushrooms, broccoli salad
I've had a lot of sweet sake that didn't suit my palate, but this one was delicious and easy to drink without being too sweet..! Good aroma right after opening the bottle: ❤︎
The sweetness of the taste gradually becomes more pronounced and the taste is more pronounced....
According to the official, it goes well with Strawberry Daifuku...I'll buy some next time..!
I found that spring tempura and sashimi were also recommended pairings, so I tried it with hand-rolled sushi sashimi on 4/20 and it went down a treat...
It goes very well with light and delicate sashimi such as sea bream, salmon, and shrimp, rather than strong fish such as amberjack and tuna....
I was too late in the season to find strawberry daifuku in my neighborhood... too bad!
It goes well with dishes with sweetness and dashi broth like chikuzen-ni.
It also goes well with salted salmon and cod roe...especially cod roe!
I was told by Sake-no-wakunin to try it with drunken whales, so I thought I would try it someday, but I am flying off the deep end!
I'm not sure why I've not been able to think of 🍶 as delicious recently, and my comments on Sake no Waku have been a bit wordy, but today I thought, "Oh, it's delicious. It's not a new taste, but it's a taste that makes you feel like you've come home.
For the first time in a long time, I was able to drink without getting defensive.
The 🦀 after-party!
Leftover Osechi with accompaniments.
Homemade chestnut kinton, datemaki and kamaboko.
The sweetness is about the same as Gekkeikan, but you can feel the alcohol more strongly...
When you get this drunk, anything tastes good.
With crab 🦀.
I wanted something with more umami than sweetness, so I went for a junmai-shu rather than a ginjo...
It was sweeter than the Miyanoyuki I had earlier.
Sake is so difficult to make...
But it went well with the crab with ponzu (Japanese citrus juice)...
My family prepared it with homemade sushi.
Mellow and mellow texture? Flavor? It was delicious and balanced without being too sweet! My favorite!
The Mie sake I have had so far has been a little too sweet for my liking, but I like this one!
I don't think I like ginjo-style sweet sake, but this was sweet but delicious...
There was also strawberry sake and grape sake, which I enjoyed drinking as if they were juice.
