Shinomine Rokumaru Nanatsuyu Usu Nigori Junmai Ginjo Muroka Namagenshu Rating 4.4–4.5 Alcohol: 15%, Sake Meter Value: +5, Acidity: 2.2, Rice: Nanatsuyu, Rice Polishing Ratio: 60%
A new product using Nara Prefecture's new sake rice variety, Nanatsuyu. A junmai ginjo brewed with a double yeast blend of Meiri yeast and Kyokai No. 7 yeast. The soft character of Meiri yeast is complemented by the sharp acidity of No. 7 yeast, creating a refreshing, juicy flavor. Distinct from the usual Shinobue, it features the refined ginjo aroma characteristic of the Rokumaru series, paired with a crisp acidity. It offers a fresh and refreshing drinking experience typical of new sake. Clean and slightly dry. The slight cloudiness enhances the umami and sweetness, yet the impression remains light and lively. Refreshing lactic notes. Aromas of melon, strawberry, and pear.
The first sip had an apple-like sourness and a unique aroma that was a little strange, but as we drank more and more, it turned into a delicious taste.
I got this limited New Year's celebration sake from Sake Brewery Kushira on New Year's Eve.
I was told it was more on the dry side, but it was delicious, not too dry and with a strong umami flavor. ☺️
Hachitan Nishiki.
Lightly cloudy.
The sense of foaminess and spiciness.
The middle part of the bottle is fresh and slightly mellow.
Slightly hard, with a firm aftertaste.
Sake of Nara Prefecture ③ is Shinomine 😁.
This time I bought it because it is Shinomine's newest sake💦.
The first one is the Kamisumi, which is a light cloudy sake with two different tastes.
The spiciness and bitterness give it a refreshing taste with a lingering sweetness that is interesting 😃.
When mixed with ori, the sourness is added and the sweetness is slightly increased, which is also good 😊.
It's a new sake, so it has a gaseous taste and it's great. ❗️
It's nice to be able to enjoy two different flavors👍
