It is said that this brand is only available at a few liquor stores, even among special distributors. This liquor store is particularly strong in Yamagata Prefecture, so it was possible to buy it. It had just arrived. My "sense of smell" for sake led me to this sake shop today 😅 Reasonably priced sake made in the tanks after the bag hanging for the sake competition. (Less than half the price of a Daiginjo) Good naming too. The melon aroma fills the mouth. The lingering aftertaste is also very pleasant. Slightly dry. The white ratio is 60, so it is actually a junmai ginjo. Today, there are 13 breweries and 30 brands in Yamagata Prefecture, but this was the first time for Shindo Sake Brewery. The level of Yamagata Prefecture is amazing. Today we enjoyed it with sashimi of shibi tuna and chinu (bluefin bream in eastern Japan). 4-goupe bottle: 2,090 yen
Hello AAJI 😃
A "sense of smell" for alcohol and liquor stores is one of the necessary skills for the inhabitants of the sake world 🤗.
Legend of shadows...it's so rare!
Jay & Nobby Good evening. My favorite liquor stores? I have four favorite liquor stores, each of which has its own unique flavor, so I make the rounds. I enjoy the conversation and new information when I say "that was delicious". Thank you very much!
Chouri Masazanryu Yumekaze Junmai-shu
Rating 4.4
Alcohol: 15%, Rice: Yuyamanishiki, Polishing ratio: 70%.
The original super honjozo Koka is good, but if there is a junmai version, too," was the request for this <Chou-Yorai Gazanryu>. Chou-arai Gazanryu is a junmai sake with good sake quality and cost performance.
This time, Yume-Kaze uses Yuyamanishiki produced in Toyama Prefecture. It is a dry Junmai sake that is well-balanced from the moment it enters the mouth, with a light, modern freshness.
It has a light, soft touch with a slight puffiness. The aroma is melon-like. Convergence is dry, light and dry. The slightly languid feeling is in a realm not found in Koka.
Shindo Shuzoten's "Betsuatsurae Gazanryu Junmai Ginjo Momiji".
This Omachi Junmai Ginjo is brewed with new Yamagata yeast.
The fresh and gorgeous aroma that Gazanryu aims for is enriched by the original deliciousness of Omachi rice, and the autumn finish gives the taste a calm and richness that makes Gazanryu different from other styles.
Rice: 100% Omachi (grown in Okayama Prefecture)
Refining ratio: 60
Yeast: New Yamagata yeast

Uragasanryu Honjozo Unfiltered Nama
70% Dewanosato
I don't often drink Gazanryu, but I bought the back one that I thought I would like.
The back of the label is kind enough to write down the flavor lineage.
As the label says, it's fresh, gorgeous, easy to drink, slightly dry without any residual sweetness, easy to drink, and has a great mouthfeel!
It is easy to drink and has a great mouthfeel. It is delicious and the price is only 3,000 yen including tax, so the cost performance was fair!
I wondered if there could be such a refreshing sweetness. It also has the characteristics of Dewanosato sake rice. The aroma is not strong, but it is heavy, so you can taste the aftertaste. The ginjo aroma is not like a junmai sake, but it is junmai sake. Complex, this is a swamp.
