Usually Machida is special junmai. This is junmai ginjo. The aroma is fruity like Machida, but stronger than usual. Is it because of the name?
A little bit bitter from a little bit of gas, just like usual Machida!
Yum!
Inexperienced cold and blizzard! I was not sure whether to go for hot sake or nigori sake, but I decided to open this one this time because the image of snowy landscape = nigori sake👍.
When I opened the bottle and poured it, the aroma was sweet and pure, like a pear.
On the palate, there is a sweetness like melon or pear in addition to the carbonation. The clean quality of the Gunma sake is also matched with the local brand name, and I can only think that Machida Shuzo is the quintessential local brewer!
When stirred, it becomes more moist without losing any of its freshness, and it's almost like biting into a pear!
It is smooth and milky while still giving a fruity and vivid taste. The carbonation also gives it a flavor reminiscent of melon soda or cream soda✨.
The first winter in a new place, the strongest cold wave and snowstorm. Life is full of different things, but it only makes me realize that this is a great place to brew sake 🥶.
Hi stst, ☀️
Machida Sake Brewery, I've never seen anything but that label before 😳‼️ I see it's a local product! Looks delicious and I'm jealous❣️
It's cold in the brewery, isn't it? Please take care of yourself and do your best😊🙏
New Sake from Machida Sake Brewery
It has a peachy aroma, with a hint of lactic acidity, but it's also very crisp and clean.
Swissy good, Swissy good, Swissy good...
<Lots of bitter and sweet Alcohol
Nice to meet you, Sei嘹san. This is a local brand of Machida Shuzo, which brews "Machida Shuzo".
The color is light cloudy.
The aroma is nigori bitter, lactic acid and sweet altsun.
The mouthfeel is a tangy, bitter acidity. After swallowing, the bitter-sweet aroma is followed by a hint of bitter-sweetness. The aftertaste is also bitter-sweet.
There is sweetness, but above all, the bitterness is quite characteristic. And the alky bitter taste is also quite strong!
If I were to use a Ghibli analogy, it would be Asbel from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind". After meeting Nausicaa, he is portrayed as a good guy, but he is also quite belligerent, even dropping Tolmekia's ships with his gunship.
Degree of liking: ★★★☆☆☆
I will post the full version on my blog, with character images, etc. added. If you like, please search for "Korune Sake" or visit us from the link in the profile section.
It's time for another Maikaze!
The first one this year is "Seiryo," where the "ryo" part does not appear in special characters👍.
I have had the Machida series from Machida Shuzo before, but this is my first time drinking this brand. That's why my expectations are so high!
When I opened the bottle and poured it, I found a deep, sweet and unique aroma like banana and cinnamon. It is already a completely different world from the Machida series, and I am just amazed 😳.
In the mouth, it is surprisingly smooth, but the taste and aroma are sweet like chestnuts and bananas and sour like vinegar.
The viscosity is reasonable, and overall, the quality of the sake is similar to that of "Tsuchida" and other sake brewed using the traditional sake yeast. In a good way, it went beyond my expectations!
The aftertaste disappears easily thanks to the freshness and acidity of the sake.
By the way, the mysterious "🦑" sticker is a different kind of sticker for each bottle, and there are various animal stickers on it. This kind of playfulness, including the unique label, is truly typical of the Machida Sake Brewery!
Hi stst, good evening 🌠.
I've never seen it before 😳 but it looks delicious😻Your comment is so clear and easy to understand that my face is already loose in imagination or fantasy 🤤.
Good day, good mr. good mr. good mr. good mr. good mr. good mr. good! I'm not sure if you can find it 🌞.
It's probably for the prefecture, so you might not get it for a long time if you don't poke around 💦.
I know this is a long story, but I'm glad you enjoyed my imagination (or fantasy?)! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Following on from last year, here we go again this year. This is the Maikaze version of the unfiltered, unpasteurized direct-draft series, and the rice polishing is 60% again this year.The QR code label remains the same, as does the alleged seal, but last year it was a killer whale, and this year a flying fish?
I think the taste was the same impression. It is very fresh with a slight effervescence. It is light with a melon-like aroma, but turns bitter in the second half. It is less showy than direct-drafted Omachi or Miyamanishiki, which is probably due to the nature of Maikaze, but it is clean and easy to drink, and I think that the Maikaze goes very well with Machida Shuzo's production.
This is a Kiyo Nishiki from Machida Shuzo, which we bought for home drinking. It's a freshly pressed, unpasteurized Aruzoe. It's not sold in most of Tokyo, but I found it by chance. It's a really great value for money 👍 I'm convinced that a proper aluzoe is delicious. I think I'll go back to buy more. If there are any left...
The spring release was a long-term preservation.
QR code on the label. And the alleged seal is Orca? It was ^^;
It's a Maikaze version of the very popular Naokumi series. But it is 60% Junmai standard.
It's slightly fizzy, melon, and has a strong ramune feeling. It's refreshing and crisp, with a strong bitter aftertaste. When you drink it, it doesn't degrade at all, and it's fresh, but it's somehow off from the current season, or out of season. (I don't blame the sake! It's my responsibility). But I can feel the goodness of the sake well enough. I've been drinking a lot of Maikaze, and I think I'm starting to understand its characteristics, but I think the dominant flavor is the one that is common to Machida Shuzo's sake brewing. It is a modern sake that will appeal to many sake lovers.
Even so, compared to other rice varieties, Maikaze seems to have a depth of flavor that is more connoisseur-friendly.
Sake made with rice and yeast from Gunma!
This is my second bottle of Maikaze!
The aroma is a bit lactic? Mild citrusy
image🍊
The taste is refreshing! But
The aftertaste is a little salty.
If I had to say it, I would say...nuka? lol
There's a unique aftertaste!
Perhaps it's because of that aftertaste, but for a refreshing entrance
I have the impression that the whole thing is thick.
Licking a little bit of nuka and pouring it in here is the best way to enjoy it.
I think it was the best match among today's ate😋.
Ah! The stickers on the label...
The stickers on the label seem to be different from each other, with lots of other animals and stuff🎶.
Kakao kanon-san Good evening ^ ^.
This is another distinctive label, and I'm very curious when it comes to Machida Sake Brewery's sake ☺️.
I wonder what will happen when I scan this QR code?
Good evening, Shangquan kanon! 😄
The QR code on the label is too intriguing! 😆 But more than that, I love the simplicity of the drinking method "chilled" 👍 If I see it, it's definitely a must buy! 😊
Good evening 😆.
I️ haven't had a drink made with Maikaze yet, so I️ am interested.
I've never had a drink made with Maikaze.
Is it bran 😅?
I would like to think that the yeast has a strong influence💦
The car on the label is a Subaru like in Gunma 😎.
Hello, Kaoru Kanon☆!
Lactic acidic and citrusy ✨✨I thought this would be absolutely delicious, but nuka? I'm not sure. I'm interested to see what it tastes like😁.
Good evening.
I've never heard of this brand and its rice!
If it's a lactic-acid refreshing sake...
Does it taste like Calpis?
And yet, it's like bran, which sounds interesting 😀.
Hi Manta!
The label has an amazing impact! LOL!
I read the QR code and it took me to the Gunma Saketsugu page!
The brewer explained about the sake in a video, which was very interesting😄.
Hi MAJ!!!
Chilled is simple and straightforward 😁.
Now that it's getting hot, the label is soaked with condensation from the temperature difference (lol)
Hi etorannzyu!
I'm starting to feel a little unsure about the Nuka, lol.
I'll have to try some of the other maikaze in this one! I'm sure you'll like it 😋
Oh! I'm sure you have a great eye for detail!
It must be a Subaru car✨.
Hi, Sheri~!
I drank this yesterday and the smell felt like banana to me!
I don't know if it changed or if my senses were just weird on the first day... lol
It's hard to describe the aftertaste, but it was unique 🤔.
Hello, drinker!
I wasn't thinking of it as a lactic acid sensation when I drank it!
So it was not Calpis!
Only the smell, mild citrusy 🍊
But yesterday it was banana🍌!
I want someone to answer me lol
