#Nagasaki Tenjinmachi#
On Sundays in Nagasaki, all your favorite restaurants are closed 😭.
No place is full of tourists even if you want to try something new 😭😭
I was naive 💦.
We left the downtown area and visited a restaurant where we finally got a reservation 🥴.
Only this brand of sake...
It's so refreshing, so crisp, and then the flavor comes in afterwards!
I didn't eat much, but for some reason it was expensive 😭
Junmai-shu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rice polishing ratio 65
ALC 15-16 degrees
Light and dry Junmai-shu with a light aftertaste
At first, I compared it with [Kojun Umakuchi] by heating it up... 😅 This light and dry sake was not suitable for heating up. Hot sake was not suitable for this light, dry sake 😅.
The next day, I had it cold.
I was able to experience a clear, light, dry sake....

Junmai-shu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 80
ALC 16-17 degrees
Rich, mellow, umami-guchi taste with plenty of umami
The aroma is faint, but you can sense it. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel a dry taste in your mouth.
If you let it roll around in your mouth for a while, you can taste the "rich umami" (mellow flavor). (I may be mistaken 😅).
I also had it hot. The flavor is so mellow and full that you can taste the umami of the rice.

How to drink:Room temperature
Aroma: Fresh, almost orange-like aroma
Taste: Light taste with a slight sourness that quickly fades away. Recently, I often drink sake without snacks, so this kind of refreshing sake is very good!
Both rice and water are produced in Uonuma. Junmai-shu born in snow country. It has a rich umami flavor and a thick umakuchi taste. It is rare to find this much on a label. But the taste is... not fruity. It was rather refreshing. It was rich, but maybe not so characteristic.... For some reason, two drinks in a row today had little impact on me.
It is a light, dry Niigata-style sake with low acidity and a clean aftertaste, but it has a surprisingly rich balance that gives it a solid feel. It is interesting in a good sense that it is made by the Shirotaki Sake Brewery, but it is not like water.
Freshly pounded rice cake, fresh cream, and cypress
Slight hints of white peach and muscat
Compared to Shirotaki Junmai-shu from the same brewery, the taste is in the same direction, but this one is more refreshing.
