My 5th drink on my trip to Takamatsu.
This is my first time at Mansaku no Hana 😃.
Polishing ratio 45
Alcohol level 16
100% Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture
It has a mild and modern taste with a sweetness that gradually expands from the umami taste.
We enjoyed it with fried sweet shrimp, but it is also delicious on its own 😊.
Good morning, soumacho!
I see you drank a lot of Takamatsu Traveler's Banquet 🎵.
I also drank this sake at home and got exactly the same impression of deliciousness and sweetness 😋.
It seems to go well with fried food too 🤗.
Good morning, ma-ki-😃.
We had a drink out here ✨.
I'm relieved that we have the same impression of how it feels 😁.
The sweetness riding on top of the sweetness was very characteristic 🍶.
We went to an izakaya near Tokyo Station that is very particular about their sake.
I requested "Umakuchi" from the master and had my first bottle!
It's the beginning of the sake festival: ‼︎
This product was created as a limited-edition brewed sake to be paired with Hinomaru HYPER DRY (super dry).
We initially considered naming it "Hinomaru Extra Sweet," but decided to go with a product that is not an extremely low-alcohol, sweet sake, but rather a product with a "sweetness typical of mansaku-no-hana," which led to the release of this product.
The word "Tsuki Yoi" (moonlight evening) on the label expresses our wish that this sake be enjoyed not in the depths of the night, but in the "evening hours," shortly after sunset.
It is characterized by a refined sweetness that is in harmony with the acidity, and the sweetness that spreads to the tip of the tongue remains in the mouth until the moment it passes down the throat. The sweetness is wrapped in a hint of bitterness, and even when paired with food, the wine is well-balanced without tiring.
The very soft and gentle sweetness that is unique to "Mansaku no Hana" is a perfect match with food.
Is it spicy? Mmm.
Yum😊.
Mansaku is still very good. It has the characteristic "dry" alcohol taste on the palate, but it is not unpleasant, but rather pleasant, and the gentle yet full sweetness of the rice makes it perfect for evening drinks. It has a taste that you will never get tired of. I will never get tired of drinking it,
Another bottle of cold sake from a local sushi restaurant 🍾.
The Mansaku-no-Hana Kame label means it is made with Kame-no-o sake rice 🐢(now that I think about it).
This is a dark and delicious sweet sake with a matured taste 💖.
My father, who likes simple ponshu, didn't like it because of its complex taste, but as a lover of matured sake, I found it very drinkable and tasty .
I bet it's also good heated 🍶I think I'll buy some for home this winter ⛄️
I was caught by the words "super limited edition" and drank it.
It's easy to drink and has a spiciness that hits you in the middle of the drinkability and goes down your throat well.
I found myself drinking a lot of it 🍶.
The zangi is also delicious!
The main flavor is a quiet, slightly heavy melon. The sweetness and acidity are in the back.
The sweetness and umami are deep and full, and the acidity and bitterness are strong at the end. A little astringency.
The tongue is rough and firm. The lingering bitterness is strong and long.
It is a richer assemblage than usual.
I happened to find Diamond Drop at my favorite liquor store in my neighborhood. It is a special limited edition Junmai Daiginjo-genshu of Mansaku that has been aged for about one year in low-temperature bottle storage. The description from the brewer reads, "The aging process has further enhanced the flavor and created a well-balanced aroma and taste that you will never get tired of drinking.
First of all, the aroma is pleasantly sweet, with a slight fermentation smell like natto (fermented soybeans). The palate also has a nice sweetness, followed by a thickening and a good fermentation aroma. Diamond Drop is probably a one-year aged version of Manzaku's "Super Limited," but while it has a similar taste to "Super Limited," it also has a unique flavor that is also good.
