My first time trying sake, for a long time I have been curious to try it and even a few stores that sell Asian products have a variety of this type of thing, I have wanted to buy things from those stores but I feel horrible uncertainty and I never buy anything
Mi primera vez probando sake, desde hace tiempo tenía la curiosidad por probar e incluso algunas pocas tiendas que venden productos asiáticos tienen una variedad en este tipo de cosas, he querido comprar cosas de esas tiendas pero me entra una incertidumbre horrible y nunca compro nada
So I took advantage of this restaurant to try it, sake is an alcoholic drink, I'm sorry if I disappointed you but I live for experiences. What is sake? I had understood that it was a rice-based drink, a wine, but since I was not eating alone and I wanted to discuss what sake was according to what I had read, but the person who was with me was studying cocktails and told me that it is not a wine is more like a beer, and that it is a drink that can have a high degree of alcohol due to its form of fermentation.
Así que aproveché en este restaurante de probarlo, el sake es una bebida alcohólica, lo siento si los defraudé pero vivo por las experiencias. ¿Qué es el sake? yo tenía entendido que era una bebida a base de arroz, un vino, pero como no estaba comiendo sola y quise debatir que era el sake según lo que había leído pero la persona que estaba conmigo, se encontraba estudiando coctelería y me dijo que no es un vino, es más como una cerveza, y que es una bebida de las que pueden tener un grado de alcohol alto por su forma de fermentación.
I found the data interesting, now I want to describe how it felt to taste the sake. At the first sip I felt the drink in my mouth, it was at normal temperature, it tastes like liquor but you feel like it's going to be a strong liquor that makes your mouth sting, but it never does and it's not strong, but it's the feeling that this will happen with each sip and it never happens, it seems harmless, it's like drinking water and I don't mean it because it's watery but because of the sensation that nothing burns, nothing stings, it's a subtle sensation but with a sensation and taste that you feel which will be a strong drink but you never get to live it.
Me pareció interesante el dato, ahora quiero describirle como se sentía probar el sake. Al primer sorbo sentí la bebida en mi boca, estaba a temperatura normal, tiene sabor a licor pero sientes que va a ser un licor fuerte que te deja picando la boca, pero nunca lo hace y no es fuerte, pero es la sensación de que va a ocurrir eso en cada sorbo y nunca sucede, parece inofensivo, es como tomar agua y no lo digo por lo aguado sino por la sensación de que nada arde, nada pica, es una sensación sutil pero con una sensación y sabor de que sientes que será una bebida fuerte pero nunca llegas a vivirlo.
And I found that it goes very well with food, what I felt is that when I was eating and I drank the sake, my palate cleaned the flavor, it was like a blank page again, now let's move on to food.
I really like eating sushi and rolls, and the truth is that I would love to try more variety of Japanese food, or at least have the knowledge that it really is Japanese, for now I haven't had the time to do it, since here only they sell the same thing: sushi & rolls, it's very boring, but I understand, maybe it's because the population is not used to a different food, so they prefer to avoid the possible risk of loss
Y me pareció que va muy bien con las comidas, lo que yo sentí es que cuando estaba comiendo y tomaba el sake, mi paladar limpiaba el sabor, quedaba como una hoja en blanco de nuevo, ahora pasemos a la comida.
A mi me gusta mucho comer sushi y rolls, y la verdad es que me encantaría probar más variedad de la comida japonesa, o al menos tener el conocimiento de que realmente es japonesa, por ahora no he tenido amplitud para hacerlo, ya que aquí solamente venden lo mismo: sushi & Rolls, es muy aburrido, pero entiendo, quizá es porque la población no está acostumbrada a una comida diferente, entonces prefieren evitarse el posible riesgo de perdidas
I have tried different places, and the truth is that the quality is horrible, you cannot have all the flavors, in some places their excess of sauces does not let you taste anything, everyone wants to add their touch, in my mind I always think leave the thing like this, don't mess it up. This place in particular, at least they can have flavors and taste, but I also did not like the fact that it has a lot of sauce, at least there is an olive sauce (the purple one) in this roll only the flavor of the sauce predominates, if you want to enjoy the flavor of the roll you have to displace that sauce
Yo he probado diferentes lugares, y la verdad es que la calidad es horrible, no logras tener todos los sabores, en algunos lugares su exceso de salsas no te deja saborear nada, todos quieren agregarle su toque, en mi mente siempre pienso deja la cosa como esta, no lo arruines. Este lugar en particular, por lo menos pueden tener sabores y saborear, pero tampoco me gustó el hecho de que tenga bastante salsa, por lo menos hay una salsa de aceituna (la morada) en este roll sólo predomina el sabor de la salsa, si tú quieres disfrutar del sabor del roll tienes que desplazar esa salsa
The option that I ordered, it comes with 12 cuts but with 4 different flavors, it was one of the most expensive cuts, I imagine that due to the variety of flavors, this one that I show below was my favorite because it is crab, and I love it, there was a place in my country of origin where I used to eat tempura crab, I could not find that product with such a delicious flavor in other places, and it was like tempura crab meat with a cheese sauce that was also a 10/10 because I have not tried another cream as delicious as that.
La opción que pedí, trae 12 cortes pero de 4 sabores diferentes, fue uno de los cortes más caros, me imagino que por la variedad de sabores, este que muestro a continuación fue mi favorito porque es de cangrejo, y me encanta había un lugar en mi país de origen donde yo comía cangrejo tempura, no he podido encontrar ese producto con ese sabor tan delicioso en otro lugares, y era como la carne del cangrejo tempurizada con una salsa de queso que también era un 10/10 porque no he probado otra crema tan deliciosa como esa.
I want to leave everything here because I realize that I am very critical of food, but that's fine, we all have different tastes, and I have eaten so many things, I have tried so many flavors, that when they show you a high quality and they give you a low it's hard not to make a comparison.
Quiero dejaré todo hasta aquí porque me doy cuenta que soy muy criticona con la comida, pero está bien, todos tenemos diferentes gustos, y yo he comido tantas cosas, he probado tantos sabores, que cuando te muestran una calidad alta y te ponen una calidad baja es difícil no hacer una comparación.
Well, criticism is important for better me of anything. I dislike sushi. Have never understood it. Maybe it's because there's too much emphasis of our western societies on the personal. I bet sushi in Japan is always made in the same way. And certainly it's been so for centuries. Thus, is a tradition. The same is true for the things I like about Japanese cuisine. Ramen is a particular favorite of mine. I can make it but it requieres a lot of of expensive things. I believe that's a reason why in Venezuela we don't have a place that sells that kind of stuff. It's a lot of work.
In regards to sake, it's that kind of drink that's easy to overdue. Something like Smirnoff when it is flavored. The only time I had a sip of it was after working a whole day in an anime convention selling Japanese food. So it is was a fitting end for the day.
Yo también soy de Venezuela pero estoy en el exterior :) Bueno, allá busqué en Caracas sitios similares y de verdad que no, y tienes razón los insumos son costosos
Ah, bueno. Seguro que por fuera si se puede conseguir algo de gastronomía japonesa fuera del sushi.
Me gustaría probar sake alguna vez.
Es super suavecito el sabor
