Osaka Minami-Morimachi Sub-Branch (1)
Two days of work in Osaka, overnight stay before work, so a light drink.
A little fancy? Stand-up drinking place
It's too hot for me, so I'll start with a draft beer 🍺.
And sake? After all, it's the best sake in the Kansai region.
Shinomine Rokumaru
I thought I drank it, but I think it's my first time 🤔
I feel sourness and sweetness when I drink it.
It's a fresh summer sake but a bit unique?
How can I say?
But delicious 😋.
Tsubugai with wasabi, frozen crispy? It's pretty tasty!
Good morning, Takashi 😃.
Here it is! We had our first Rokumaru the other day too 😋 good acidity and delicious 🤗.
I was told it was hard at the liquor store 🤔 was this one round?
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 😊.
I wrote "soft" myself on this next drink, J & N's, at Shinomine, what is hard? I remembered our discussion 😆.
But the hardness, I couldn't tell 😝.
Just a reminder 🙏.
I went to "Ushio" in Ekini with my classmates and 3 juniors 🍣.
Here is the first sake 🍶.
Shinomine Yamadanishiki Junmai
-Super spicy, unfiltered, raw sake.
There are so many different types of Shinomine that I haven't been able to release them fast enough or find the refrigerator space to purchase them, but I still wanted to get my hands on this one. In fact, it was my personal sake of the year two years ago, and as it turns out, this year's was also outstandingly delicious.
First of all, the aroma is very ladylike, with a gorgeous Capriccian aroma, and there are none of the strange peculiarities or bad points characteristic of Capriccians.
It is a great food wine, and even though it is a capsule type, the sensation of drinking it is more like a vinegar-iso sensation (although I don't know the actual reason for this).
It is not a lot to drink by itself, but with a meal, it is a delicious drink that will awaken your eyes. It goes well with meat.
This is amazing! I will definitely buy it again next year when I find it! As for this year, it wasn't a "rise to the top," but rather the second day was by far the peak. Personally, I expected it to rise, so that was disappointing, but it was still too delicious, so I was very satisfied.
Good evening, flos_lingua_est 😃
Rokumaru! We too finally got to drink it last month: ‼️ It definitely looks good here too 😋.
I was told at the liquor store that it was a bit hard, does that mean it's butt up?
Hi Jay & Nobby ☀️
As you said, I described it as a butt up, as it was firm at first and gradually mellows out day by day! I think it was the other way around when you drank it, lol.
I like it because it is like Shinomine, it is delicious even when you change the taste!
The ginjo aroma is like Shinomine, with a hint of sake yeast.
The attack is firm, with immediate acidity and umami, and good sharpness. It is fresh but has umami. After a few days from opening the bottle, the attack becomes less aggressive and the umami and dryness increase. It is easier to drink than the Mogura series. Maybe because it is a summer sake.
Good.
Natsu Butei has been changed to "Association No. 6" yeast, and now has a more refreshing taste. It has a refreshing aroma, a slight effervescence, and a light yet broad flavor that develops before ending with a dry finish. It is a summer sake that you will never get tired of drinking, even in the hot summer months.
(Mochizuki)
It is a Nara sake, Shinomine, brewed with "Kame-no-o", which I don't know of any other brewery using except Senkou!
And it's from Nara Prefecture.
I was surprised to learn that Kame-no-o is not a rice suitable for sake brewing! I was so surprised!
The aroma is mildly muscat-like.
The mouthfeel is pleasantly gaseous. In contrast to the moderate sweetness, the light acidity and clear, crisp bitterness are very appealing!
The crispness is not harsh and disappears quickly.
It has a very refreshing taste and is delicious!
It has a pleasant taste with a sense of balance that is different from Kameizumi's!
Why is Nara sake so good?
Although it is supposed to be sweet, it is not that sweet, but rather the acidity derived from malic acid is more assertive.
Since it is made with yeast No. 77, it has a very strong apple-like fruitiness.
