Let's drink Sake
By Yuji Matsumoto
What is good sake?
Certainly one standard is the price, but we need to think if we can find a sake that has the value to satisfy ones taste. It is important to find a "sake that suits me" instead of a good sake. There would be a tendency for one that likes fully body red wines to prefer a Junmai-Kimoto or Honjozo type, and one that likes a young, fruity chardonnay to prefer a gentle, strong aroma Daiginjyo type.
Cold or Hot
Many people think that high quality sake should be enjoyed cold but this is wrong. Compared to fine quality sake which you can drink without worrying about the temperature, sake that has poor balance should be enjoyed extremely cold.
Tasting method
Sip it with air like you would with wine. For the glass, it is important to pour a small amount into a glass for white wines type and swish it around lightly to come in contact with air.
Drinking container is important
It is amazing that the taste can totally change with the glass you use not only for sake but for wines and beers also. If you want to enjoy the taste, especially examine the aroma, it is good to use a small white wine glass. If you are having it hot, it is good to use a smaller ceramic type container that doesn't have the shape to be smothered with alcohol steam and doesn't cover your nose when you put it to your mouth.
日本酒を飲もう
いいお酒とは
もちろん一つの目安になるのが値段だが、本当に自分になりに味わって価値を見出せるかを考える必要がある。いいお酒より「自分に合ったお酒」を見つけ出すことが重要。
フルボディーの赤ワイン系が好きな人は、おそらく純米生もとや本醸造系が気に入るだろうし、若いフルーティーなシャルドネが好きな人は、端麗で香り高い大吟醸系が気に入る傾向にある。
冷か燗か
多くの人は、高級酒は冷して飲むと思っているが、これは違う。質の良い日本酒ほど温度にあまりとらわれず飲むことができるのに対して、バランスの悪い酒は、キンキンに冷やした方が逆に良い。
テイスティング方法
ワインと同じく、空気と一緒にすするように飲む。グラスは、白ワイン系のグラスに少しそそぎ、軽く回し空気と触れさせることが重要。
意外に大事なグラス
日本酒に限らず、ワインやビールでも飲むグラスによって味が全く変わるから不思議。味、特に香りを吟味し、楽しみたいのであれば小さめの白ワイングラスが良い。熱燗の場合は、アルコールの蒸気でむせないような形や口に当て鼻までかぶらない小さめの陶器系が良い。
