The recent past has seen a series of relatively light and soft sake, but this is the first simple, rich and umami sake in a while.
While there are more and more delicious sake with different tastes these days, this one made me feel like I was back on my home turf.
It is said to be 100% Aizan, and despite its amberish appearance, it was easy to drink. The sweetness was restrained and the taste was full and rich. It was a full-bodied drink.
My wife's friend gave me this sake as a wedding gift🍶.
A bottle with an elegant and clear taste with less sweetness than I expected. 🙆♂️
It seems to be good as a food sake!

Lingering Taste: Taste and bitterness remain
Impression: Delicious medium-sweet
It has an aroma of apricot and Nara-zuke, which is probably derived from Yamahai.
There is acidity, but the sugar content is high and the balance is sweet.
Mild acidity derived from lactic acid. It is an umami type sake with a lot of amino acids.
It is good to be heated.

Sake from Osaka may not be drunk very often.
This is a freshly pressed, unfiltered, unpasteurized sake.
It is punchy and rich, but not too sweet. Dry and caramelized. Bitter aftertaste.
40% of the brewery's sake is raw sake.
Rating 3.8 (out of 5.0 perfect) 20231016
Purchased at the main store of Kintetsu Department Store
Like the previous post, this one was also brought to the Victoria meeting in Jiran to open the bottle.
Hiyade
Aroma of cereals
Mellow rice flavor and good richness
The complex taste with good umami, astringency and bitterness, which is a characteristic of Osaka sake, is still there!
I really want to eat something powdered 🤤.
Personally, I prefer it warmed up rather than chilled.
At first glance, fruity aroma
The aftertaste is dry.
The balance between the fruity taste at the time of drinking and the dry aftertaste is not good.
I'm not sure if it's good or not.
