Aged Sake: Koshu 古酒
Sake name:
Asahikawa; hizoukoshu/limited version; junmai-koshu/aged sake;
high alc. Percentage. I like aged sake, especially a local jizake like this in the picture which was made in Yamagata. I also love imbibing on this kind of sake at night in an onsen in the middle of winter. The aged wood and sake; the starry night sky all mix well for a wonderful and relaxing night.
i always make it a point to do a midnight soak with a cold bottle of aged sake.
really nice one to see a photograph
ReplyDeletehow is it different from the Hakutsuru Supérieur Junmai Ginjo sake ?
ReplyDeleteI start to love sake after my last trip to japan, but the selection here in Montreal is very limited.
I like the Hakutsuru Supérieur Junmai Ginjo sake but still looking to other sort of sake.
I would love to find the sake I drink at Kyoto (with a classic Kyoto meal).
Sake and Onsen ? are they good together ? :)
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCyril, thanks for the comment. I've tasted your brand of sake before. Hakutsuru is a very familiar sake label and a lot of people and restaurants sell it in Japan. Although it's good, I don't really care that much for it, and no, the taste is not similar. The sake in this picture is a bit astringent on the tongue, so I don't think it would be popular with many people.
Sake and onsen do go very well together, especially at night.
