The Yamada-Nishiki was the first to be compared.
The aroma is mild, with hints of muscat and Japanese pear, but it is mild like the Yumachi.
The sweetness of the rice spreads beautifully when you drink it, and I preferred it.

Purchased at a hotel in Okayama. Unlike Omine's cup sake, the label comes off easily when washed, but my child wanted a cup after drinking it. The label is very Okayama-like, so it is suitable as a souvenir.
If I wanted to compare the sake, I would have appreciated the 180 ml small bottle type rather than the cup type.
A set of Omachi and Yamada-Nishiki to compare.
The Omachi was not as full-bodied as I expected, and combined with the grain-based acidity that made it sharp, it gave the impression of being a little thin rather than light. The impression may change when the temperature range is raised.

The second round of sake tasting!
I started with the "Kyokusei" on the left.
At first, it has a mellow soybean-like flavor and a dry, chili-chili-yaki taste. The umami is very strong, but the taste gradually becomes lighter and more balanced.
It was a delicious sake that could be enjoyed both warmed and chilled!
It's the Kyokusei I got as a gift.
I'm glad I don't drink too much sake in a cup!
Personally, I like to drink it hot!
The strong and long-lasting aftertaste is typical of Omachi rice!
It's hot during the day but still a little cold at night, so it was the right choice to heat it up. ☺️
It was a gift in a paulownia wood box. Sorry it took me so long to drink it! I was thinking, "I'm sorry it took me so long to drink it," but a well-made sake is incredibly tasty even if it's stored well.
It is as I expected. But I wish I could have drunk it sooner...
Purchased at Okayama Station on the way back from a trip. Omachi is famous in Okayama. This junmai ginjo brewed with rice from that region has a viscous but light aftertaste with a hint of ginjo aroma and is very easy to drink.
Okayama doesn't have any "corel" sake, but on the contrary, all of them are good.
After Gozenshuu, I guess...
After Gozenshu, is sake the next best thing?
