profile iconPhysical condition: △ Nasal congestion and pollen Rice: Gohyakumangoku #Opened first day - #Opened 14 days #Snow cold #Room temperature #Recently warmed We went to 4 liquor stores to get a bottle because our mouth was looking for something a little more classical. When I was looking at the products, I found a bottle of "Yama Sleep". I immediately told the clerk that I liked it and asked if there was any similar sake, so I picked one up (I also bought a bottle of yokitogi with it, pretending to like it). After tasting three sakes, I chose this one. He told me that sake made with Gohyakumangoku tends to have a clean and beautiful bitterness, and I smiled and said he must have liked this one. I chilled it at first. I think the flavor and aroma opens up and becomes more appealing when the temperature range is raised a little. Also, it has the taste of young wood, which my taste buds didn't seem to notice when I drank it at the restaurant (why?). It tastes more like a walk in the mountains than in the forest. It's more appealing when it's heated up! I took it a little at a time as I raised the temperature, but it was suddenly delicious when it was heated up! The sweetness and umami that rush through the alcoholic aroma. It tastes like a pencil! A bottle that has a strong umami and flavor that is as good as the sauce. This is delicious!

profile iconA very limited edition sake from Yoshida Shuzo, the brewer of Shimane Prefecture's famous sake "Gassan"! The brand "Tomonori" is inscribed with the name of the brewer, Mr. Tomonori Yoshida. This sake is sold only at a limited number of stores. Using "Sakonishiki," Shimane Prefecture's original sake rice, this sake has a balance of refreshing acidity and umami that skillfully draws out the characteristics of the rice, and a rich fruitiness that is typical of Yoshida Sake Brewery and the freshness that can be felt only from directly pumped sake. In addition, only the middle portion, which is the middle of the squeezing process, is bottled, making this a luxurious bottle.

profile iconThis is the aged taste! Aroma! Perhaps. Very sweet. There is a freshness to it that is not typical of sake. And yet it has the flavor of rice. It is the kind of sake that you want to enjoy carefully, little by little.
Japanese>English
profile iconFruity taste, puffy and slightly peculiar. Has a slightly astringent taste as it passes through the esophagus. Goes well with sweetness. I feel that kakuni is the perfect pairing. Polishing ratio 45%, Sake degree +6, Acidity 1.3 Degree of liking 4.0

profile iconPurchased as a souvenir for myself on a business trip to Oki Island. The aroma is moderate and the mouthfeel is refreshing. The taste of rice comes through gradually later. Although dry, it is a gentle sake that evokes the spring scenery of the island. We enjoyed it with rice cooked with white clams, a Japanese-style chicken hamburger steak, and fried tofu.

profile iconA few years ago, when I first started enjoying sake, a clerk at an antenna store in Shimane told me that he personally recommended a Shimane sake called Ohroku, which is not available here, so I looked for a distributor and bought some. I don't remember what it tasted like, but I do remember thinking that it was some kind of samurai-like sake.... Although it is a Jokai brand name, I bought it for the first time in several years due to the liquor store's strong recommendation. They released a little bit of the 2017 vintage that was ready to drink. The aroma is full-bodied and nutty, like nuts and avocado. On the palate, hmmm? What is this... sweet... or so I thought... but it is not sweet... the savory, aged-like richness comes with a gulp and quickly disappears with a strong acidity, sh.... It's a sensation I've never had before, and it's delicious. After opening the bottle, it rounds out and softens. There may be a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. The fullness and umami are still there, but the mouthfeel becomes gentler and easier to drink. I didn't get the impression that it was particularly like a samurai, but I would like to try a Super-Oroku or something like it again. It may be difficult to age a sake at this level, but I hope to encounter it again when my taste buds have grown up.

profile iconUnusual, I don't think I've ever had a back Ura shinigami, the image of shinigami is usually dry, but it has a mellow feeling that only Jun Dai can give, But Shujin is still Shujin!

profile iconThe aroma is so fruity that you would never guess from the horrible label. The flavor also has a core and is quite sweet and delicious. I would like to actively procure this kind of local sake as a small pleasure during business trips! Sake-challenged wife: I see. The sweetness rounded out and became even tastier. This sake comes into its own a few days after opening the bottle! Liker Rank: 7 points/10 points

profile iconThe biggest hit of the year so far, and the best tasting so far. Jacket price...................1/10 Wow, what a duh... ‼︎ and even the white "limited edition" sign... I wish they would call the person in charge. Ki ... 17/20 The hue is of course a bright yellow & the smell is of straw, but it also has a fruity sweetness. The flavor and aroma are of the heavy type, and the balance is perfect. Sei... 18/20 The combo of the strong umami and the hint of rice aroma, but the Alc and excessive sweetness are not too much. Turning point ... 16/20 The rice smell disappears before you know it, and you are enveloped in a sweet and delicious texture. If you ask me if I like this rice smell, I don't think so. Yui ... 15/20 The sublimation smell is rice until the end. Cospa ... 7/10 The price was 1,980 yen, and it is often over 2,000 yen, but this one is priced with a good conscience. However, I would not hesitate to buy this classic! 74 points
