▼ Description
This special sake is made entirely from Yamada-Nishiki and has a super dry taste.
The sake has a refreshing crispness with a lingering aftertaste created by the umami of the rice.
This is the kind of restaurant where you can enjoy sake
What a blessing to have such a restaurant nearby!
How grateful and happy we are to have such a restaurant nearby!
I would like to recommend the South one to you with all my heart.
But if you are looking to explore the world of Japanese sake, this might be a good place for you.
While my son was staying in Oki Island, we received turban shells.
We were able to enjoy various kinds of turban shells, including grilled in a pot and turban shell rice 🙏.
I paired the grilled turban shell with a bottle of Nanpo.
It was my first time to drink it, but it had a sweet taste that tangled on my tongue, but the bitterness came out and went away quickly, so I could enjoy it without disturbing the ingredients.
I learned from bouken's post that this sake is not made by the company itself, but is made in 4 different locations. It's great that you noticed this👍
Please refer to bouken's post for more details.
Luteltemi, good evening ^_^.
I don't know how it tastes yet because I haven't checked bouken's review yet, but the turban shell rice is delicious ✨.
I eat it sometimes and my daughter likes it too ✌️
Throwing the whole thing, yes it is 😁.
Hi Lutemi 🐦.
The turban shells in a pot look delicious😻This reminds me of going to the beach every year when I was a kid✨
I've seen it 😊It's not made in-house at all 🥺.
Banzai for throwing the whole thing 🙌
Good evening, Mr. Rutemi 🌃
The turban looks delicious 😋.
This was the perfect type of sake for eating 😁.
They don't make it themselves now, but they commission 4 companies to make it for them, so I guess they still have their own obsession 🤔.
Good evening, Manta-san😄.
I'm glad you were able to taste a large amount of turban shells after a long time. I see your daughter likes it too 😆 I was going to pair it with sake from a prefecture near the sea, but it's made in Nara 🤣.
Good evening, Pon😄.
Summer is for swimming 🏖️ I used to enjoy being taken there 😆 Now I eat and drink 😋.
Did you get to see it 😉 I usually don't notice it. Makes me want to drink from other places of manufacture too😊.
Good evening, bouken😄.
Sake and tsuboyaki go well together and are delicious. It's a pain in the ass to make though 🤣.
I would like to compare the other 3 companies as well.
I'll check the labels carefully when I buy them 🫡.
It has a refreshing enamel aroma, but it is not strong and dry. Moreover, there is no unnecessary bitterness from the alcohol. This is an interesting and delicious sake. I liked it.
I am in Wakayama on vacation.
There are many great sake in Kishu, but this is a classic one that is personally one of the "sake that comes to mind when I think of Wakayama.
At the entrance, a thick sweet aroma reminiscent of mizuame is layered behind a darker yogurt and a faint aged aroma reminiscent of rice.
In the mouth, the thick, sweet, matured aroma felt at the entrance is followed by the rich umami of rice. At the same time, a firm, dry acidity quickly overtakes it.
The sweetness of the rice, the rich umami, the moderate ripe aroma, and the crisp acidity. It is different from "a great sense of balance" in a good sense, but overall it has a great depth and breadth that shows all of the "rice".
This time it is a stand-alone sake, but really it is a great sake that shows its charm only during a meal 🍶.
Delicious ✨✨
Today I drank alone at Wakayama City Station.
I dared to choose neither Kido nor Kurogyu, but Nanpo.
It is a light, slightly bitter, yet dry drink 🍶.
The brewery seems to be located a few minutes walk from Wakayama City Station.
Second drink, also first time here in the south!
I was served with the same hot and clear.
Delicious!
But my husband said it was more sake-like than the one I just had (Kan Hokuto), but I personally like this one! Maybe it's not as refreshing?
Purchased after tasting it at an event at Keihan Department Store.
Slightly refreshing with a mild ginjo aroma. Good sharpness in the aftertaste. The second half is quite pungent.
And..., what I mentioned in my last post when I tasted it.
After buying this sake, I was searching for sake-no-wa and noticed that it used to be labeled with the manufacturer, but now it is labeled with the seller and the unique symbol for the place of manufacture.
There are multiple alphabets for the manufacturing site specific symbol, and a search of the Consumer Affairs Agency's database of manufacturing site specific symbols reveals the following
K Fushimi no Tomiyo (Kyoto)
C Naru-no-Sake (Nara)
H Sake is Kuromatsu XX (Hyogo)
T. A certain brewery in Gifu (where the toji from the southern part of Japan transferred to)
It turns out that at least four of these four places are producing sake.
In short, it seems that they do not brew their own sake.
By the way, the one we drank this time was C.
According to some sources, the brewery was damaged by a typhoon a few years ago and they can no longer brew.
In fact, when I checked the street view, I found that a part of the warehouse site was sold and an apartment building was built...
I just learned a sad fact 😢.
I thought it was weird because I haven't seen it lately.
It's sad because I used to enjoy drinking Shiboritate and Jundai's fragrant sweet sake.
Good evening, bouken😄.
It is quintessential that you noticed the manufacturing place specific symbol. I checked the one waiting in the fridge and it was C. I wonder if the flavor has changed 🥹.
Good evening, Mr. Lutemi 😃.
I'm usually in the habit of looking at every corner 😅
It may not be the same taste, but it is consigned to various warehouses and they seem to be particular about it, so the taste may be maintained to some extent 🤔.
Good morning.
I used to drink a small bottle of this brewery's honjozo when I went to Wakayama, but the year before last, when I bought a 4-goupe bottle at Hankyu, it was a little different.
I don't know if the contents are different depending on the size, or if it has changed since it was consigned...
Hello Shinjo 😃
The Honjozo was marked K, so it looks like it's made in Fushimi 🤔It would also depend on whether it's packed from the existing lineup of the consignment company or specially brewed 😃.
Moriguchi Keihan Department Store Sake Festival (15)
I have the impression that Minakata was good to drink at the brewery festival. Seen it recently at Sake no Yamamoto 🤔.
[Minakata super-harakuchi Junmai-shu].
I asked for a standard one and this was it. Mild on the palate but with a spicy aftertaste.
Minakata Junmai Ginjo
Refreshing, but with a delicious flavor. It is more delicious than the one we had before.
This sake won the "In a glass of wine" award.
The label on the shoulder says "limited brewing," but it only has a certain number of tanks and has never been sold out.
The price tag was wrong, and the small bottle was the same.
Kishu Gojumangoku Honjozo, Dry.
A classic standard. It has a strong sake flavor with a hint of acidity.
Minakata is the brand launched by the current president, while Kishu Gojumangoku is the brand of the current chairman.
