Sake from a small brewery in Kushira, Gosho City, Nara Prefecture, in the bosom of Mt. Katsuragi overlooking the Yamato Plain.
It is a pink label version of "Akabane Omachi" made entirely from Omachi produced in Setomachi, Akabane district, Okayama Prefecture, in the Shinomine Rokumaru series. The pink label is a spring-like spring limited edition sake. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom now, so open the bottle quickly🤗.
The color is beautifully clear. The fruity and sweet aroma is subtle. The refreshing acidity spreads in the mouth along with a feeling of petit-pretty gaseousness. It finishes crisp and clean with an elegant sweetness.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🍶.
There is a list of stores that carry it on the Chiyo Sake Brewery's website. I hope you can find a store you can go to.
Or I'll just pop in 🤭.
Please try it 🙇.
I've had a lot of different drinks, and as usual, I can't remember what they taste like.
I have the impression that they are all delicious 🤭.
I was curious about the swirl 🌀 but forgot to ask the owner!
This is the first Shinomine ultra-harsh junmai I've had since 2021, the year of its debut at Sakegawa. I was caught up in the installment and bought it, but is it actually a sneaky PB that this is so light nigori even though it is clear sake wherever else I see it or search for it?
The rice smells like freshly baked bread, plus grass and rice cakes. It smells nice and delicious, like it would go well with a meal.
When you drink it, you feel a light, slightly carbonated feeling in your mouth. There are quite a few bubbles on the glass. And the clarity is excellent! It is not particularly full and smooth, but it is not just a beautiful sake. Jun-dai" would be much smarter, but the umami and some complex flavors are present, so in a good way, it is considered to be a junmai-standard sake.
If you enjoy the taste of the ingredients, it goes very well with vegetables and fish, as well as meat dishes with a gentle taste, such as pork shabu-shabu. I enjoyed it with thinly sliced onions, garland chrysanthemum, and komatsuna greens. It is really nice to have a dry sake with a modern taste...!
