This issue explains how to enjoy sake sampling.
1. Audibly
Hearing is the first sense to enjoy sake. Please listen for the sound of sake pouring into the sake bottle and bubbles audibly forming in carbonated sake.
2. Visually
Once the sake is poured, please examine the sake inside the sake cup. The type of sake will generate differences in the shade of sake color, viscosity, clarity and sheen, etc.
3. Aroma
Next, gently inhale the sake aroma without shaking the sake cup. Determine the intensity of the aroma, high/low, how the aroma spreads, concentration, and durability. Try to detect the change afterwards.
4. Palate
Finally, sip and taste the sake on your palate. First, taste with the tip of the tongue, savor the flavor, and then further savor the sweetness, bitterness, acidity and umami flavor. Savor the sake flavor not only with the tongue, but focus the senses from the throat to the nasal passage to enjoy new discoveries.
Clear the mind of any preconceived notions and taste the sake with a fair mind. When sampling the sake, incorporating cheerful, fun terms utilizing as many expressions as possible in a brief summary is important.
それでは、ここから利き酒の方法を解説する。
１、耳酒
酒を楽しもうとするとき最初に感じるのが聴覚。酒器へ酒を注ぐときの音、発泡酒なら泡の音も聞こえる。耳をすましてみよう。
２、目
注ぎ終えたら、次は酒器の中の酒をじっくり眺めてみる。酒の種類によって色の濃淡や液体の粘性、透明度や輝きなどに違いが出て来る。
３、鼻
次に酒を揺らさないようにそうそっと香りを嗅いでみよう。香りの強弱、高低、広がり、濃度、持続性を探してみる。その後の変化も感じてみよう。
４、舌
そしていよいよ口に含んでみる。まずは舌先で感じる、第一アタックをしっかりと捉え、次に舌で甘味、苦味、酸味、旨味、を感じ取る。味わいは舌だけで、感じるものではない。喉から鼻腔にかけての感覚にも神経を集中させてみると多くの発見がある。
先入観を捨てて公平な気持ちで臨むこと。試飲する際は明るい楽しい言葉を取り入れ、出来る限り多くの表現を駆使しつつも簡潔にまとめることが重要です。
