After aging, the rich flavor derived from Omachi rice and the characteristic acidity of "Bodimoto" stand out in this clean, umami-guchi type Junmai sake.
We recommend serving with fatty seasonal sashimi, eel, and hard cheeses (Mimolette Conte).
Serve well chilled on its own or warmed.
The oldest sake brewing method in Japan, the "Bodimoto" method, is used.
The "Bodimoto" method is said to be the origin of various sake brewing methods.
The characteristic feature of this process is "soyashi water," which is made by generating natural lactic acid bacteria in the water in which rice is added.
This water is added at the beginning of the "Moto" making process,
This water is added at the beginning of the "Moto" making process to promote alcohol fermentation while suppressing bacteria,
This makes it possible to produce safe and clean sake even in the summer.
NINE" challenges the roots of sake with a process that is rare in Japan, and continues to refine and innovate as never before.
It is just smooth! The moment you put it in your mouth, ((**))gentleness spreads!
The sharp taste of sake has been refined to the utmost limit!
I enjoy it cold, but it might be better to drink it at room temperature or lukewarm for a better taste of the rice!
I want to enjoy the change of temperature as well 🎶Thank you for such a sake today🙏!
Pon-chan.
It was very delicious!
It has a white wine-like mouthfeel, but the rice flavor comes through afterwards!
I recommend the process from cold to room temperature!
This is actually my first time drinking "9 NINE".
I had never tasted the old "9" in the green bottle, so it was a good thing I did.
Dewa immediately!
First of all, the Alc is slightly noisy and lacks sweetness and freshness. So that means it's still hard.
I'll bring it back tomorrow or later.

Oh, no, it's mellow wine again! It is truly a classic light wine with a rich, mellow flavor.
I mistakenly thought it was hard because of the sweet/acidic and alc sensations that have not changed since the first day, but I was wrong, this is the peak, isn't it?
The fruit and fresh parts are very gentle, and the umami-specialized rice is suitable for heating up.
However, it is still a Bodai yeast!
It has a mille-feuille of complex flavors, but I think it's a little far from being an accent or noise, so I'll skip it!

A rare setai (a rare occurrence!).
We are pleased to welcome you all the way from Kure, Hiroshima 😌.
The taste is impressive with a creamy mouthfeel reminiscent of vanilla, round sweetness and assertive umami. I finished 2 cups lightly 😆.
So I was a little bit sad yesterday .........

I bought it because it was cheaper at the supermarket.
I thought it would be Toyo Bijin and some other guy today, but I was curious and bought it, so I started with this one.
The taste is mellow, and I feel like it's been a while since I had a sake that gave me a round impression!
In October 2016 at the usual tiger's nest. It was served with ginkgo nuts because of the season.
The brewer is Tsuji Honten in Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture. The label says that all the rice and rice kouji are grown in Okayama Prefecture, and the sake is made by a female toji (master brewer) and nine brewers who are particular about the production method. 9 (NINE) means "nine people. The chic label is rather stylish.

This, this, this.
The bitter taste, umami, Bodaiyuan sourness, and finally Oumachi sweetness.
As one would expect from the hometown of Oumachi, the fact that it is shipped after it has passed the summer is also a sign of love.
I wish they would learn from those who just leave it sweet like cotton candy in the warehouse.
Postscript. It's so good when it's heated up. The umami of Omachi without being strange. Umamama. No stress.
