Slightly rummy and rice aroma with a slight lactic acid drink aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, there is no sizzling sensation.
Fresh aroma and soft sweetness of rice make the mouth feel soft for a moment.
Slightly rounded acidity with a sharp taste.
No bitterness, but it disappears quickly and dryly in the mouth.
It is very drinkable, but maybe a little too clean and not enough.
The liquor store says that after a few days, the taste will become more to your liking, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses.
I had it with tuna sushi.
The sake is light and doesn't get in the way, but the umami flavor is lacking.
This is Sawanoi's newest sake, Shiboritate Junmai Nama-nama-shu. I had this at the brewery's recent "kurabiraki" event, but I was too busy enjoying the festivities to get a good taste of it.
Refreshing rice aroma. It is delicious! And the flavor develops quickly. That is typical of new sake. It has a modest fruity flavor with a splashy sweet and sour development. The sharpness is also good.
Fresh ginjo aroma. The first sip gives the impression of being light, but soon after, the calm acidity and umami of the sake's natural yeastiness gradually spread.
The aftertaste is pleasantly fresh and grape-like.
10/25 at the Ozawa Sake Brewery's "Kurabiraki" event!
For 1,000 yen, you get a tour of the brewery, a cup of sake, and 5 sake tastings. The tasting included two types of new sake and three types of expensive sake such as ginjo. I really enjoyed listening to both the president and the chairman talk about their standard "Dai-harakuchi" (very dry) sake and the label endorsement that the chairman came up with.
I had to wake up early and go for a run, so I made the mistake of falling asleep on the way to the event. I should be in good condition to participate in such an event.
At the usual restaurant
I started with Sawanoi, thinking it was no different from last week😊.
This one had a slightly stronger flavor than last week's 😋.
The side dish was confit sweetfish with baby ayu fish
I like this sake because it is so refreshing and thick! It's also good that it's easy to get at a local convenience store.
It's good to have this kind of sake.
The first new sake of the year, Sawanoi's Ichiban-kumi. A bottle bottled this morning. The aroma is clean and refreshing. Slightly rummy.
Umai! Umami that bursts in the mouth. The astringent taste is wildly bouncing around. It's so strong. It's quite high at 19 degrees. As a certain izakaya claims, it looks delicious with soda. I feel that Sawanoi has had enough of autumn sake, so I can enjoy mainly new sake from now on. I am looking forward to the brewery opening tomorrow!
I am usually mainly from western Japan, but this is the first time I bought sake from Tokyo.
I didn't know they made sake in Tokyo.
It's been a while since I've visited the sake section of AEON.
Nice red label.
The crab is cute.
Limited edition.
I bought it.
My favorite.
It is dry with a good taste.
I think I'll buy it again,
I'm not going to break my stance of being shallow and broad!
