Ushitora (丑寅)

たけさん
It has a mildly mellow and gradually delicious flavor, a model of Shizuoka sake. I had never really thought about the "mildly delicious," but it may be because the acidity and bitterness, which at first glance do not make you aware of them, actually support the underlying flavor when you taste it carefully. It's almost like the feeling you get when you eat a really good soaked dish. It is an all-around mildly delicious sake, but if I were to pair it with sashimi, I would prefer it to be a little more tangy. But of course, it is delicious.

It has the roughness and freshness of unfiltered sake, but it is neither too rich nor too fresh, and has a perfect balance. It is a very subtle aperitif that tends to be more of an aperitif than a food wine, and can be served either way. It can be said that it can be used in either way, but it would be better to use it in either way. It is like a well-behaved gal.

Daiginjo nigori. Sourness, sweetness and slight bubbles. I served it with Matsugasa squid and grilled eggplant, They go well together.

Unlike the Oubai sake, which I know all too well, it has a delicious flavor but a refreshing aftertaste, more in the midst of youth than macho. It is hard to match with food. It's not an aperitif, and it's not enough to drink by itself, so it's a very difficult sake to use. I won't drink it anymore.

It has a nice spiciness and a clear, transparent taste that is typical of Saga, and I would like to call it a "refreshingly umami" flavor. There are wines that are a little more refreshing and a little more umami, but this balance may not be possible. It is an excellent food wine that can accompany any dish without losing or winning. The meaning of the panda on the jacket is unknown.

A little sweet and mild. The aroma is also modest, with no pungency, and it seems to quietly fade away. It has a good umami flavor, but the taste is very gentle and has no memorable character, but it can be easily paired with anything.
