I was attracted by the sake degree of -15, so I bought it. (In addition, I bought a new set of chirori sake cups, so I wanted to use them...)
) I was told that it was super sweet, 3 to 5 times sweeter than regular junmai sake, and recommended for beginners, which raised the bar.
Now it was time to try it.
This is...
Ahhh! It's so good!
It has a great richness to it.
My mother, who normally doesn't like sake, raved about how good it was!
It is not too fruity, which I personally like, but you can taste the sweetness of the rice.
My first impression was that it was a sweet wine.
At this price, it tastes like a world-renowned sake! I can understand why they say "This is a sake recognized around the world! (Maybe it's the kind of award you can get if you pay for it.)
The aori also says "Winner of the GOLD medal at the International Wine Challenge 2024 (Junmai Ginjo Sake category)", so I wondered if the sake tasted more like wine. I also thought it might have a wine-like taste.
In any case, this sake is a hit with sweet sake lovers and beginners like me!
I'm adding it to my favorites.
I'm adding it to my favorites, and I hope you will too.

Munemasa Junmai Ginjo -15
Saga sake found at an Aeon. I bought it because I didn't think I could find a Saga sake with a sake content of -15.
I had it cold.
The first aroma is slightly sweet and apple-like.
The color is slightly yellowish.
The mouthfeel is clear and flows smoothly.
When it was cold right out of the fridge, the overall taste was quite thin, but as the temperature rises a little, the sweetness and later sourness come out, and it becomes easier to drink.
At the end of the mellow sweetness, a thick honey-like sweetness can be felt.
A slight alcohol taste appears after swallowing, which tightens up the tongue and leaves a slight tingling sensation.
High ester-producing yeast is used. Although it is called "super sweet," it is not sticky, and the sweetness does not linger in the mouth forever, making it easy to drink.

Good evening, Mr. Nemuchi.
I drank this a long time ago, but the orange label seems to be for Aeon only 🤔The regular -15 seems to have a grayish label😊.
This is not so sweet 😅
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 🌛The label is in chic script and it's called Saga Sake, which doesn't give a very sweet image, but it was moderately sweet and easy to drink 😋You can only know what's inside when you go out with people and sake😁.
Good evening, bouken🌛I see this is an Aeon limited label 😳I've seen the grayish label elsewhere, but I was wondering what the difference was 😅It was moderately sweet with a refreshing aftertaste 😋.

Personal score: 84
I asked about Amakuchi at a liquor store in Saga and they recommended it to me. It has a very good balance of sweetness and a hint of sourness. It is quite sweet and very pleasant on the palate.
This sake from Arita, Saga Prefecture, is characterized by its sweetness, with a sake strength of -15.
Enjoying the sweet and delicious aroma wafting from the glass, the rich, honey-like sweetness fills your mouth as soon as you take a sip.
The sweetness of the rice seems to have been amplified many times over, but I felt that the slight chilliness and hidden acidity tightened up the whole experience.
Thank you very much for the meal.
Souvenir from my sister-in-law and her husband's trip back home to Miyazaki... but it's a Saga Prefecture sake💦.
Gold medal winning sake in IWCSAKE category.
