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...

It has a delicious rice flavor, sweetness, and a soothing taste that increases when heated.
I have a friend from Morimon Village who was a classmate of mine in high school, and while he wasn't much of a drinker in high school, he has become quite a drinker since he started working.
He doesn't pay attention to the trendy sake, but he loves to drink the local "Tamaflavor", and he drinks it heated even in summer.
My friend moves around Niigata Prefecture for work, and when he is in Itoigawa, he drinks Kenshin.
When he is in Itoigawa, he drinks Kenshin, and when he is in Niigata City, he drinks Tsuru no Tomo.
When he is in Murakami, he drinks Taiyomori and Seharihatsuru.
I've been enjoying them in local pubs and at night, and this is exactly what I like about Echigo's sake.
I once had a drink with a friend who is a sake drinker in the Niigata Station area when I was there on a business trip.
In total, we may have drunk more than one bottle per person.
This is a memory of drinking a lot.
Shinshu Shiboritate Tamaflavored unfiltered unpasteurized sake
Aromas of mellow fruits like melon, muscat, and banana, with plenty of sweetness like cotton candy.
The bitterness comes from the sweetness that fills the mouth and the strong alcohol that appears soon after.
You might get drunk with just one sip!
Perhaps it was because I let the new sake sit for a month or so, but I felt that the sweetness was a little overdone. It got just fine when I carbonated it!
I think it would go well with cream cheese and dried fruits.
