Maybe it's just because it's summer, but the blue bottles are so tempting!
This Gozenshu is made using a rare method called "Bodai-moto," which is the oldest sake making method in Japan. It is not harsh on the palate, but I felt a strong flavor like an old sake.
It is recommended to drink it on the rocks, so I tried it on the rocks, but I didn't like it because the alcohol taste was too strong.
It was hot today 💦 so I was attracted by the cool label and bought it at a local liquor store.
I was also attracted by its nice profile: 100% Omachi from Okayama Prefecture, made with a 100% sake brewer's yeast, and produced by a female master brewer.
My first impression was that it had a firm body, with a moderate aroma, and the delicious flavor of rice and good acidity spreading out in a whiff. The wine is smooth and refreshing, so you won't get tired of drinking it.
From the bottle design, I had an image of a fruity sake with a strong acidity. It tasted like a classic. I had it on the rocks with cheese, and I thought it was a sake with great potential, regardless of how you drink it or what you eat with it.
I saw this brand of sake in many places.
I always passed it up because it seemed like I could buy it anytime
I always passed it up 😅 But this time
I somehow bought it! ...(because it's cheap)
This is Omachi 🤔.
It's fruity and has a rich flavor.
It was a delicious and refreshing sake 😋🥂.
The second sake tasting tour is "GOZENSHU9"!
I was curious about this one after seeing it on a liquor store's Instagram!
I remember that the sourness was impressive.
I wonder if this memory is correct.
But I remember it went well with black bean cream cheese!

I bought it because of the label. It is a junmai nama sake, but there is no roughness or peculiarity. It was so good that I thought it would be a good idea. It seems to go well with everyday meals rather than the kind of snacks that go well with sake.

Rice polishing ratio 65
Alcohol content 15
Rice used: Omachi from Okayama Prefecture
I was attracted by the label and bought it.
It is a sake made by adding water to the squeezed sake, letting it mature until autumn, and then bottling it as is.
The roundness and softness of the flavor was gentle.

This sake is mild and easy to drink. It seems to be made by a female toji.
It goes well with chicken sashimi!
