What is egg sake?

First, let's search for the general "egg sake"

Tamagozake is an alcoholic drink made by mixing sake with eggs and sugar and heating it. It is a type of hot cocktail

(From Wikipedia)

As you can imagine, it has a strong image of being a sweet drink. It has a stronger custard-like taste than amazake

The unique feature of Katsuyama Brewery's "Original Egg Liquor" is that while most "egg liquor" is preferred as a hot drink, it is "delicious whether served hot or cold."

Sendai Dateya Katsuyama Sake Brewery

Katsuyama Sake Brewery's "Original Tamagozake" is one of the oldest sakes in Sendai, as the pictured package says: "A taste of Sendai Castle Town that has been passed down for over 100 years."

Katsuyama Sake Brewery, which produces this sake, is a traditional sake brewery with over 320 years of history, and the official sake supplier to the Date clan It is the only official sake brewery still in operation today.

During the Meiji and Taisho eras, Katsuyamakan was established as a guest house for the brewery.
In 1924, it became the designated accommodation for princes when they visited Sendai, and provided them with Sendai's finest sake and cuisine. It seems that Katsuyama Brewery's "Original Egg Sake" was a favorite among women during the Taisho era.

Actual drinking review and arrangement

I was thinking, "I'll give it a try!", but then I saw that the bottle had instructions on how to make it taste better, so I went to a nearby convenience store and bought some milk, ginger ale, and ice cream to add some flavor

It certainly looks delicious even with some modifications! I can't get enough of these challenges!

Anyway, you can't get started without knowing the original taste, so I'll try it as is

It has a smooth texture. It has a sweetness like custard cream and a slight eggy taste. And the aroma of alcohol lingers in your nose. The alcohol content is a little high at around 10%, so I like the taste if you sip it slowly. It may be difficult for those who don't like sake

Egg sake mixed with milk (1 part egg sake to 2 parts milk)

Next up is egg sake mixed with milk .

Just as I expected, the custard cream had a mellow flavor. It also had a slight eggy taste. The aroma of sake was prominent, and when I asked a friend who doesn't like sake to try it, he said, "The aroma of sake is strong, and to be honest, I don't think I can handle it."

Personally, I think it would be popular with women who like alcohol. Adding a little coffee might also be a good idea

Egg sake and ginger ale (1 part egg sake to 1 part ginger ale)

Next, we mixed egg liquor with ginger ale .

I was surprised when I drank it! It was delicious!! To be honest, I didn't have high expectations before drinking it, but the alcoholic taste was pretty much gone and it was easy to drink. I gulped it down. My friend who couldn't drink the milk mix earlier was also very excited, saying, "This is delicious! It's like carbonated Capis!"

It's perfect for a hot day or after work. It's refreshing, so I highly recommend everyone give it a try, even if you think it's a gimmick! It'll probably exceed your expectations! The only thing you need to be careful of is drinking too much! Wow, I was surprised

Vanilla ice cream with egg and sake

The last thing I tried was vanilla ice cream with egg sake poured over it . At first I poured just a little on it, but I wanted more, so I ended up pouring more egg sake over it. It was richer and more delicious. This might be even better with coffee!? Maybe it would go well with chocolate ice cream too!?

Conclusion

I reviewed this historic egg sake, and I was particularly surprised by the ginger ale mix! It was an unexpected combination, and it far exceeded my expectations

"alcohol is the best medicine, but the root of all diseases," and it is certainly true that if you don't drink too much, you can expect to prevent lifestyle-related diseases and enjoy health benefits.

Egg sake has long been a popular drink to have when you're starting to get a cold, but it's also said to help you fall asleep more easily

It would be great if egg sake, which is slightly sweet and easy to drink, could also have health and beauty benefits. Moderate alcohol content promotes blood circulation and raises body temperature, making it a recommended drink to have before going to bed

If you're struggling with the chills caused by air conditioning or summer fatigue that can make it hard to fall asleep, why not give this a try? It also makes a stylish gift. This egg sake is available for purchase at the Sendai Dateya Katsuyama Sake Brewery listed below, so please give it a try!

@neft_tohoku The original egg sake from Katsuyama Brewery, a historic sake brewery in Sendai that was formerly the official brewery of the Date clan. 🍶 The egg flavor is like castella and it's delicious. It has an alcohol content of about 10% and is quite sweet, so we recommend mixing it with milk or drinking it hot! #Sendai #Katsuyama Brewery #Egg Sake #Alcohol ♬ Coketime – Official Sound Studio
