With only a few days left in 2022, it is a difficult time of year end progress for those of you who are working. I understand.The word "busy" means to lose one's mind, and if you are too busy, you will gradually start to feel depressed. Special occasions such as Christmas and New Year's are coming up, so it is a good idea to prepare a special drink for these special occasions. For Christmas, something glamorous like champagne or wine goes well, but for New Year's, sake is good to drink slowly, isn't it? It goes well with Osechi cuisine. Speaking of Osechi dishes, as you may know, each dish uses ingredients that have auspicious meanings, and black soybeans are an ingredient that means "to work hard" and "to live well. Wouldn't a sake made with black beans be a good omen and perfect for the New Year? The craft sake store "Kurando" is now selling a sake made from black soybeans called " Kinako Milk no Sekai" (The World of Kinako Milk )!
Kinako and milk are one and the same!
The "World of Kinako Milk " is a sake with a Japanese flavor that combines kinako, a savory and refined flavor made from black soybeans produced in Tanba, and milk, which gently envelops the kinako. Kinako is an ingredient that has long been loved in the world of Japanese confectionery. It has an elegant aroma and gentle sweetness, and is beginning to be used not only in Japanese sweets, but also in "Western" sweets. Kinako, with its unique flavor and humble, unassertive taste, does not lose its individuality whencombinedwith various other ingredients. The combination of kinako and milk is exquisitely appealing, and when thinking about the gentle and reassuring taste of "kinako milk," we arrived at the fascinating world of "kinako milk," a Japanese dessert drink!
The main ingredient of the kinako is 100% high-grade black soybeans from Tanba, which are larger and richer than ordinary black soybeans. The fine kinako, made from roasted and ground Tanba black beans, is luxuriously blended with fresh and naturally rich flavored milk, also produced in Tanba, so that the smoothness of the milk is subtly accented by the fine cr umbliness of the milk.
As mentioned above, black soybeans are an auspicious ingredient that is also included in Osechi cuisine. From this point of view, the "World of Kinako Milk" is a good luck charm, so it is perfect for the New Year's celebration. The elegant and gentle sweetness of kinako can be enjoyed straight or on the rocks as an after-dinner drink, or served over ice cream as a dessert. I think it would also be delicious with Japanese foods such as kuzumochi and yakimochi (baked rice cakes).
If you want to enjoy it for New Year's, be sure to drink it as soon as possible!
The "Kinako Milk World" will be available from December 21, 2022 (Wednesday )! The price is 2,990 yen (tax included). Each bottle contains 500 ml and contains 8% alcohol.
