Free Tasting at Yamacho Sake Shop
I went to buy some sake and found a tasting event, so I took it.
◉Kagatobi Junmai Ginjyo Araubashiri Nama-nara Sake
The sake has a dark, full-bodied taste with a slight sourness and a slightly spicy aftertaste. The overall impression is refreshing.
◉Kagatobi Yamahai Junmai Super Dry, Nama-Nara
The first sakes seem to be gassy, but the tasting was a bit gassy. It is clear and quite spicy. The sake is said to be +15 on the sake meter.
◉Fuku Masamune Junmai Ginjo Nigori Shiroki Nama
Quite creamy and milky. It has a graininess to it, and the aftertaste is a bit dry. I've had this before and it was delicious.
◉Kagatobi Junmai Ginjyo Araubashiri, aged in the kura
I was only able to sample it because it was already sold out, so I don't know the details of the specs.
It was full-bodied, with almond and nutty notes on the nose, a little bit of maturity, and a mildly mellow flavor.
It was my favorite of all the wines we tasted.
I thought so when I tasted it before, but I think the sake from this brewery is really good when it is aged.
The aroma is gentle and soothing, and the full-bodied richness and flavor typical of junmai sake unfolds.
The finish is crisp and tight, a refined dry sake that complements meals.
This is also at the brewery store.
Nice aroma - ❤️ Sweet aroma is rice, cream. The acidity is pear or pineapple. Nice aroma lingers for a long time.
Refreshing flavor. The aftertaste is dry and crisp.
Beautiful dry taste. Like Katsuma. It is good, but it is not my favorite type of sake.
The flavor is mellower and more pronounced if you let it sit for a while.
Purchased at a brewery store in Kanazawa.
Made with Hyakumangoku No Shiro, Ishikawa's sake rice.
Aroma is sweet and sour like soda. Slightly banana-like.
It has some umami, but it is dry and spicy.
The alcohol smell is a bit filmy, so it might be better to let it sit for a while.
As expected, the corners are removed and it becomes round and mellow👍.
