Ehime Prefecture! Barrel sake. A very cold glass and a chilled sake.
Refreshing and refreshing on the palate, with a slight tanginess on the tongue.
The aroma is also elegant.
I would like to drink it with sashimi, but it can also be served with oily snacks.
Strong flavor, strong acidity, and bitterness at the end.
Ume Nishiki as the day before yesterday.
A little bit higher than the previous day.
It's not fun if it's the same, and I can't drink a four-pack bottle.
So we bought a bottle at a local supermarket.
Polishing ratio 65%.
Alcohol 15%.
Umanishiki "SAKASO!" Junmai Ginjo
Rating 4.4
Rice: Shizuku Ehime (produced in Ehime), 60% polished rice, 15.8% alcohol by volume, Sake degree: +3.5, Acidity: 1.6, Amino acidity: 1.5
Through joint industry-academia-government research by the Ehime Sake Brewers Association, Tokyo University of Agriculture, and Ehime Prefecture, we have succeeded in isolating and cultivating four types of floral yeast for sake from a new strain of delphinium "Sakurahime" born in Ehime. The newly developed original floral yeast for sake brewing, "Ehime Sakurahime Yeast" is used.
Umanishiki "SAKASO!" uses "TYPE-2" (Clear) yeast out of the four types. It has a clean and soft sake quality, a clean taste, and a gentle, subdued, cool aroma. Ehime's first rice suitable for sake brewing, SHIZUKUHIME, is used to make this sake with a delicious flavor. A mellow sensation of soft sweetness from the flower yeast. Bitterness, sweetness, acidity, etc. are moderate.
I drank it at a pub. I remember it used to be sweet, but recently it has become a little more refreshing. I heard a rumor that the head brewer has changed, so I wonder if that is the reason.
Purchased at Sumida-ya. It is very tasty, dry and full of flavor. I don't know about the ginjo feel, but it has a nice aroma and is easy to drink despite its richness. Goes well with Japanese food ✨.

It's not sweet, but the flavor of the rice 🌾 will win you over 🤠.
Just like the Masamune name for "Sai of Rice" 😁.
I think it finally starts to taste a little sweetness at the end, and then it starts to cut through 😙.
I could even taste the flavor of the rice 🤗.
Hiro-san, good evening. I was a "believer" in Ume Nishiki about 40 years ago. They were all delicious. But the set with old sake I bought on the internet was not so good, so I have not had it for a long time. I read your check-in article and want to try it again. Thank you 😊.
Good evening AAJI 😃.
Likewise, I was not a fan of Ume Nishiki because it is a common sake 😅.
However, "Yone no Sai" was delicious because of the honest flavor of rice. I think it is also good as a food sake, so please try "Sai of Rice" 🤗.
