Product Description
Sake Search Review
[Brewery]
Konaki Jumai is produced by Chiyomusubi Sake Brewery which is located in Sakaiminato city of Tottori prefecture. It became famous when “Ge Ge Ge no Nyobo,” one of the NHK morning dramas, was broadcasted a quite while ago.
The city is also the hometown of Shigeru Mizuki, a Japanese cartoonist of “Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro.”
Many “Yokai”(monsters) statues are displayed on the road, “Mizuki Shigeru road,” which is the 800 meters long, stretching toward the East from Sakaiminato station to Honcho arcade.
Konaki Jumai sake was created in collaboration with the cartoonist partly because the brewery is on the road.
[Brand]
Konaki Junmai features its unique label with a drawing of a monster called “Konaki-Ji” and the brand tagline, “Yokai Nakase no Cho-Karakuchi” (The sharp dryness makes even Yokai cry).
Generally, dry sake’s sake meter value is +5 to+ 7 . Given that, Konaki Junmai with +15 is much higher.
The sake meter value measures the density of sake relative to water, and this is the barometer for gauging the dryness or sweetness of the sake.
The higher the sake meter value, the drier the sake.
Without any doubt, a child will cry after drinking this sake. In Japanese, “Ko” means “Child” and “naki” refers to “Cry.”
[Taste]
It has a mild rice aroma and a dry flavor.
When I had a taste, the rice-flavored alcohol hit my tongue.
I thought that this kick must be the so-called “dryness.”
However, it is not just strong but also has a well-balanced flavor of umami and sweetness with a good length.
The label tells exactly what it is.
[Food pairing]
“ Katsuo no nokke mori”
Katsuo no nokke mori is the dish in which seared bonito slices are laid out on top of a fresh vegetable salad made of Japanese radish, lettuce and red peppers.
The topping is Ohba (Japanese basil) and sliced raw garlic with ponzu vinegar.
The raw sliced garlic gives a kick to the dish, which will increase your appetite.
When paring it with Konaki Junmai, the dryness reduced the hotness of the raw garlic, which complemented the intensity.
It goes well with the bonito’s umami and takes it to another level.
The sake is a perfect partner for Sashimi( sliced raw fish).
