live performance
At the usual restaurant.
This is the first time I have had Machida Shuzo's Honjozo.
It has a freshly squeezed, fizzy taste.
Degree of alcohol content: 18
With fried chicken wings.
A local brand of Machida Sake Brewery.
In the past, when the non-nagori version arrived at the Origuchi Sake Shop, it was instantly sold out, so this was a long-awaited sei嘹.
It is slightly fruity, slightly sparkling and juicy. It is a little fruity and a little 🍇-like.
It's spicier than Machida and has a nice kick at the end, as is typical of Aruzoe. If you think Machida is too sweet, this might be a good choice for you.
Personally, I prefer Machida😅.
The last of the Maikaze series I bought this year is "Seigiri"!
It's by Machida Shuzo, so it's a definite one for every year👍.
When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is mellow and fresh with a melon-like richness, as if it were directly pumped.
The mouthfeel is dense and juicy. The combination of the sweet flavor, the petitiveness of the gas, and the brightness makes it taste like melon juice!
But the mild sweetness of the Maikaze also makes it calm overall, and it has just the right potential for a leisurely drink ✨.
The sweetness is gradually followed by a touch of astringency, and the way it is brought together is a very powerful combination!
I am happy to be able to enjoy the various faces (brands) of Maikaze again this year 😌.
I am looking forward to next year, dreaming of completing the series someday!
I drank it last year and enjoyed it so much I bought it again.
Personally, it is my favorite new sake along with "Akagisan"✨.
When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is crisp and gorgeous, like pears.
The mouthfeel is light and immediately afterwards there is a solid gassy feeling. It's as shwashy as a carbonated beverage!
Dry and clean on the palate, with pear and green apple flavors that are gorgeous and fresh. There is a hint of sweetness, so it is not only dry, but also well balanced.
The astringent taste comes in the last half of the bottle and finishes it all off, so it is a delicious wine with a perfect ending!
The sun is setting later and later, and we can feel the approach of spring.
It's still early, but I'm looking forward to this year's spring sakes!
