It's soooo refreshing! It's like growing wings!
It leaves a slight aftertaste, so if you drink it after getting drunk, you may not feel this refreshing feeling.
It is a fire-brewed Omachi of Jikin, a very famous sake. We happened to get it by chance. Omachi is a late harvest rice, as I recall, and is said to have characteristics that make it easy to dissolve and give volume to the flavor. It is often said to have a wild and mellow taste. I heard that there are Omachisto, or Omachi lovers.
It tastes like melon or watermelon, sweet with low acidity. Juicy and fruity. It is sweet and delicious. It is also fresh.
The fact that it is watermelon-like means that it will go well with salty foods. Cheese, French fries, tempura, etc.
Moderately clean and soft aroma of rice.
The fine umami and a hint of sweetness spread smoothly on the palate. The fresh rummy overtone is also refreshing.
This is my first Jikin.
The indescribable fruity aroma, sweetness and acidity are pleasant, and the whole is well rounded. The roundness gives the impression of being a very large, deep circle.
Well, I want to drink more!
I drank Yamadanishiki Nama at home this year, but this one is fire-brewed.
It's delicious with a berry-like sweetness and bitterness from the sweetness.
I wrote in a post a few years ago that I didn't like Yamadanishiki Hi-iri, but this one was delicious 😋.
I also drank a twilight orange 😋.
