It has a tremendous sweetness, but it is definitely a mellow sake. The smell of rice can be felt. Surprisingly, it is suitable for a medium-bodied sake.
Lighter than expected, sour, sweet and ricey.
I was worried before drinking it because it had quite a bit of color, but I was relieved to see the explanation on the back label.
The Tama Flavor brewery is known for its regular brand, Tama Flavor, which is a light, dry sake that is the king of Uonuma, but they also brew Itkey and 46°C Echigo-Bushi (Samurai), which I recognized once again as a brewery with a very sharp personality.
Tama flavor from the former village of Sumon Village, Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture.
Junmai Ginjo made with Hiroshima Ginjo yeast.
Tama-Savory is usually an honest, light, dry sake that is the essence of Uonuma's local sake, and is also good warmed.
This Hana-shu is clean and smooth. It has a soft aroma.
A good classmate of mine from high school in the countryside is from Morimon Village and loves Tama flavor. He is now a hard-core sake drinker who enjoys heating sake even in summer.
The word "Uonuma" on the cap is a proud sign of his pride.
For some reason, I've been hooked on one-cup drinks lately.
I found this at a convenience store in Suhara, Uonuma City, the brewer's hometown. I've seen many ball-flavored one-cups, but this is the first time I've seen this one.
The aroma and the impression you get when you drink it are exactly like Niigata honjozo. However, I didn't feel much of a tangy taste, and the gorgeous drinking comfort could only be achieved by a ginjo. It is easy to drink without stress, but there is a bitter aftertaste. It is only a little more expensive than a cup of honjozo, so I think this is a good choice. It is not very unique...
