Minamigata Junmai Ginjo
It has a nice aroma when you put it in your mouth and is easy to drink because it has a clean overall taste! It doesn't leave much of an aftertaste, so you can drink more and more of it!
Today's bottle is a commemorative sake Jun-Dai that I purchased at the brewery Sekai Ittoku on my way back from participating in the early summer Kido rice planting 😀.
When I visited the brewery, it looked like a big warehouse, but I later learned from bouken that it was a disaster and they are now brewing it elsewhere 😅.
The seller's column says "T", so it must have been made by a brewery in Gifu where the original toji transferred 😅.
Furthermore, the seller's column on the outer box had a sticker on it, so I peeled it off and found the words "Sekai Ittoku" as usual 😅.
It seems that when they made the outer box, they didn't think they would not be able to brew anymore😅.
As usual, I drank it at room temperature and cold, and it was the first time in a long time that I met a sake with a big difference in taste depending on the temperature 😀.
The cold sake was quite harsh on the palate, but at room temperature it became mellow 😀.
The aroma has a strong ginjo aroma, so I liked it more at room temperature because the taste and aroma matched better 😀.
The brewery is descended from Kumagusu Minakata, a famous scholar in Wakayama Prefecture, so I hope they will do their best to brew their own sake 😇.
Good evening, Yasube-san 🌘.
Buying sake at the brewery is a drunken thing to do 🍶.
I thought "Sekai-Ichitose" sounded like a religious organization, but I didn't know it was named after Shigenobu Okuma, the birthplace of Kumagusu Minakata 😳.
Great sake from a great place!
Good evening, Mr. Yasube.
I'm glad to hear that if the sake is made in Gifu, it tastes similar to the previous Minamikata 🤗.
As Maru said, the company name sounds like a religious organization😅.
Hello Yasube, 🐦.
I'm a descendant of Minakata Kumagusu 😳I had no idea and was surprised to know that you are a descendant of Minakata Kumagusu 😳I hope you can make the 30th anniversary sake here 😊.
Good evening, Maru-san 😀
If you know Kumagusu Minakata, you will be surprised to hear the origin of this sake😇.
This sake is delicious and I enjoyed the temperature change in taste, so I really hope you will go back to brewing your own sake someday 😀.
Good evening, bouken!
Thanks to you, bouken, I was able to taste the sake while learning about the current situation of Mr. Sekai Issho 😀.
Thank you 🙏.
Sake-no-wa might be a religion in a way of sake lovers too 🤣.
Good evening, Pon 😀
To be precise, Kumagusan's father started this brewery and Kumagusan's brother's family has taken over the brewery😇.
I would love to see them brew their own sake for their 30th anniversary 😀.
Minamikata (dry Junmai sake) is chosen.
The first sip is much drier than expected.
It has a sharpness, but the intoxication is amazing!
I fully enjoy the dry taste.
The ayu fish that goes with it is better and tasty.
I bought this sake last summer in Katsuura, Wakayama. It was pale yellow with a faint aroma.
The mouthfeel was light and refreshing, with a slight sourness. It had a somewhat classic aroma, but the lack of clutter typical of junmai ginjo-style sake makes it possible even for those who like modern sake.
It is a fire-brewed sake and can be found in supermarkets, so I kept it on the shelf at room temperature, but I wonder if the taste would have been different without this extremely hot summer....
It was not cooled down very well, so I had it on the rocks from the middle of the bottle.
▼ 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.
