Kido Junmai. Whenever I find it, I always ask for it. ...... Well, most of the Shinjuku Sohonten stores have Kido, but I just can't resist.
It has a light and refreshing taste, but you can taste the umami and sweetness of the rice deep inside. I like it.
Kangiku Ocean99 Kukai Inflight Junmai Ginjo.
Kangiku Ocean99 is becoming more and more famous, and last year or the year before, it was still a sake that only those in the know knew about.
It has a refreshing taste with a strong sense of minerality. It is just like the sky. It has a nuance like a clear sky.
Mimuro Sugi Junmai Ginjo Dio Abita is a sake that won the gold medal at the Sake Shop Grand Prize 2023 announced last fall. It has a bouncy aroma, refreshing fruitiness and acidity, and is delicious. I wonder if it would look even better with vegetables.
Today I came out to Shinjuku for the first time in a while, so I went to Sake Cost Sake Brewery Shinjuku Sohonten. Or, well, since I moved, I guess I will inevitably have a series of "it's been a while" from now on.
While I was thinking about what to order, the staff immediately brought me a bottle of Abe Regulus. It seemed to be a limited quantity service.
It is brewed using white malted rice for shochu, and has a muscat-like aroma, acidity, and a mineral taste. It has a flavor similar to that of white wine. Interesting.
It is said to be a low-alcohol sake with no sake-like characteristics, and there was quite a line for it at the Niigata Sake-no-jin (Niigata Sake Festival) the other day.
Morishima Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Unrefined Nama-nihonjyu Miyamanishiki. This is one of the three types of Morishima available today. It has a clean texture but also has a good amount of acidity, making it an enjoyable type of sake to drink. It's nice to be able to finish with this type of sake.
Tobiroki Junmai Ginjo Namaizume Black Label. Tobiroki is delicious after all. It is refreshing, with a hint of sweetness and fragrance. It is easy to drink.
So, dinner and poshake. Today, we went to Shinjuku Sohonten Sake Brewery.
Today's main attraction was a comparison of Jikin, Jyushiyo, and Kuroryu. Moreover, we were able to compare a distinguished lineup: Jikin Tokubetsu Junmai Nama, Jyushidai Bessen Morohaku Hakutsuru Nishiki Junmai Daiginjo, and Kuroryu Shizuku. It was amazing.
All of them are so delicious that I don't even care about the differences between them, but there are some differences between them.
The Jikkom is light and refreshing. Kuroryu is dry and thick. Jyushidai is somewhere in between, with a good balance.
