ミライザカ宇都宮駅西口店

ポー

At an izakaya in Utsunomiya for dinner tonight; most places were full! Had the local fried chicken, here as 清流若どり骨付モモ一本グローブ揚げ. Felt it needed Nihonshu beside just beer, so chose the Kamotsuru off the drinks list. Good balance of light sweetness with a hint of fruitiness, savoury and dryness, with long finish and umami. Sometimes I feel 大吟醸 looses out with food, whereas the stronger flavour cuts through the friend chicken, making you want more of both! Surprisingly good inexpensive Nihonshu.

Sushi Sakai (すし堺)

ポー

Had sushi tonight, and asked for recommendation for nihonshu. Choose the 中 option. Has a taste not too sweet or dry, with good rice flavour and long finish, making you want to drink more. The flavour of the nigiri and nihonshu was better together. Haven’t had a nihonshu worth writing about in a while.

Another delicious Fukushima Nihomshu, although unintended as bought a few years ago. Seems like a mix of 2022 and 2023. Fizzy when opened with a pop. I opened it a few days ago, and it seemed more active after a few days after breathing; much more gas than the first day. Taste more complex than the first day; caramel, mushrooms, rice, fruit, but not sweet, more 辛口。

Another nihomshu that needs time to breathe. When first open, mainly tasted the sharp alcohol, but after a few days, it mellows to a taste of rice, melon, sharpness with a slight bitter finish. Very drinkable cold. The taste mellows over time and 2 weeks later is still good with less alcohol hit.

When I first opened the bottle, flavour was not great, but after letting it breathe for a week in the fridge, it was delicious! Initial taste of strawberries and rockmelon with sweetness then long dry finish. The changes are why I really enjoy namazake.

Another good Fukushima nihomshu Slight sweetness with melon and hint of mushrooms with a dry finish Delicious with the ひざ軟骨の唐揚げ but not so good with the Yakitori as the delicate flavour is lost

Light crisp taste with scent of mushrooms. Taste obscured with stronger foods, just taste the alcohol, so lighter tasting food might work better, or drink by itself. Easy drinking.

Was a bit uninteresting when initially opened. Left overnight, some gas buildup, but the flavour developed to a slightly sweet, fruity, melon with acid finish. Delicious with nabe, with more pronounced acid.
