Taste statement well written on the labeling. “Sugata”

Asia/Tokyo12

Today, too, I’m drinking alone in the dust. Up until now, I have only chosen sake that everyone knows, so this time I challenged myself to try sake that I don’t know. I chose a sake that I personally do not know much about, “Sugata” sake.

sugata
sugata

Sake “Sugata” from Tochigi Prefecture, which expresses the original form of the sake as it was born.

What kind of sake comes to mind when you hear the phrase “sake as it was born”?

It has been a long time since the world has seen unpasteurized, unpasteurized sake, but “Sugata” is a sake from Tochigi Prefecture that is more raw than any other type of unpasteurized sake.

I bought it because I liked the label design. Unusually, the ingredients are well labeled.

Good. Imprint of the figure.

Easy to drink. Suitable for beginners. Sourness of sake after sweetness. It did not go well with vinegared food. And it tastes similar as it is a recent trend. I’ve had a lot of different sake.

vinegared or pickled dish

Today’s snack is a vinegared dish purchased at a souvenir store. Sour and sweet were a little incompatible.

It was another good day.

Sake with the same name as that famous hotel.

Asia/Tokyo11

Today, too, a dusty, one-person drink.

Autumn sake is called hiyaoroshi. Not all types of sake are called hiyaoroshi.
It is a seasonal product that has been stored in a warehouse until autumn to mature its flavor.

Four seasons

The name of the sake is “Four Season”, which sounds like a famous hotel.

I bought it because of its name.

Four seasons

Hiraizumi is located in “NIKAHO CITY” on the southern coast of Akita Prefecture.
Hiraizumi has been brewing sake for more than 500 years while keeping close contact with the four seasons of this region.

It is a cap with the family crest firmly in place.

A faint sweet aroma wafts through the air.

It has a sweet taste at the beginning and a complex bitter taste. It is an unusual sweetness that has never been seen before. Suitable for food sake. Sake for intermediate or advanced drinkers. It seems to go well with strong flavored dishes.　

Today, I made homemade potato chips.

Surprisingly, it is not bad with fatty foods.

Another good day.

Collaboration is on the rise these days. Miyagi Sake Brewery Collaboration.

Asia/Tokyo11

Today, too, I’m drinking alone in the dust.
Recently in Japan, it seems to be popular for sake breweries to collaborate with each other to make new sake. Many of them have elaborate labels.
This is why I bought the label “Date seven season II”.
It is a joint product of breweries in Miyagi Prefecture.

These figures were designed to resemble the brewer’s face. seven people.

When you have seven collaborators, it’s plain, because it’s a struggle. Caps

Open

It’s a trendy ginjo aroma.

Gulp!

Comment: A
The very clear and delicate aroma is impressive. The acidity and umami are well balanced, and the refreshing characteristics are more noticeable when the sake is chilled. This is a sake that I would like to pair with white meat sashimi.

Comment: B
Gentle and refreshing on the palate, yet slightly sweet.
Goes well with citrus dishes. I was lucky to be able to buy it at a nearby liquor store because I couldn’t when I went on a trip to Miyagi in the summer:

Slightly stronger alcohol is felt. It is a food alcohol. The aroma of the sake itself is a little strong, so those who are not used to it may have some resistance. It may be good with aromatic dishes such as boiled spinach to cancel out the aroma.

It was another good day.

Jiro-style ramen is a favorite of Japanese people. In other words, junk-addicted ramen. Ramen Bari-O Daimon Branch. It’s so packed, where do I even start eating?

I had a craving for ramen noodles with a unique and oily smell.
I came. A ramen shop.” Bali Man.”
As the name suggests, this is a hard-core restaurant where only men are allowed.

Here is how to tell the toppings. This is chanted like an incantation.” Yasaimashi Aburamashi Karamemashi” Masashi means to increase. To double the amount, say “Mashi Mashi”.

Yasai is a vegetable.
Abura is back fat.
Karame is the source of the soup.

Japanese people’s impressions after eating this ramen

Review:
This unique Jiro-inspired spot has its main branch in Shimbashi. The small ramen at 950 yen comes with a generous 200g of noodles and three slices of pork. The ordering method is slightly unconventional—you declare your choices when placing your ticket on the counter. Garlic is available on the table, so your options are just three: extra veggies, extra oil, or extra broth. Even though I’m no newbie to this place, I still flustered over the procedure (wry smile).

The signature look here is the small bowl filled to the brim with broth, packed tightly with noodles. The noodles are extremely thick, chewy, and flavorful. The soup looks robust like the noodles, but surprisingly light when you taste it. Adding the special table-top chili flakes (homemade chili) or vinegar changes the flavor, gradually enhancing the taste and boosting the deliciousness. By the end, I added too much chili and broke out in a sweat, but it was the kind of inspiration I love – delicious.

The fruity aroma is followed by sweetness. The finish is very alcoholic. It is not for beginners. It has a strong alcoholic taste. It seems to go well with oily food. Slightly strong alcohol habit.

Today’s snack

Cheese cutlet. I was worried about it as a pairing, but this time Yuki no Bijin is just the right match!
