Sake-no-wa Kansai Branch Sakai Bring Your Own Drinking Party (2)
I was quite worried about what to buy the other bottle of sake, but I hiked up a mountain and bought a bottle of sake made by Aburacho Shuzo, the brewer of Kaze no Mori, which was shared with several breweries in Nara at the Bodai Hashimoto Festival held in January at the Shoreki-ji Temple.
This is the second time I've been to the Shoreki-ji Bodaihashi Festival and the second year in a row I've bought this sake 😀.
I was advised by a friend of mine that it tastes better if you let it sit for a while, so last year I let it sit for 3 months and it tasted pretty good 😇.
This year, I brought the sake that I let it rest for half a year, and it was highly praised by everyone 😀.
Next year, I will participate in the Shorakuji Bodhi Hashiro Festival again, and this time, I will try to let it rest for a year 😇.
3.9 ★★★☆☆☆
I drank this a long time ago and didn't like it, but I have the impression that it has become easier to drink than it used to be.
I had the impression that it was more sticky-sweet with a strong sourness, but it has been a long time since I had it, and I didn't feel the sourness that much, so it was easy to drink.
It is just as I remember it being sticky-sweet.
4.0
The sweetness of this sake stands out due to the fact that it is made from Bodhi yeast. The balance is maintained by the addition of acidity that is not unpleasant. It is more delicious than when we drank it before.
I saw the Aburacho Sake Brewery challenge.
The color of the sake was surprisingly yellow.
And sweet like Oronamin Fat....
What? I was surprised to see such sweetness in a sake ⁉️.
This is a fun drink.
My first time at this restaurant.
I had been thinking that it was time to drink "Takacho".
I saw this label on the front of the refrigerator and decided immediately.
It is richer than Kaze no Mori, but not too sweet.
I love it!
I saw it in a flyer at the supermarket and ran out to buy it, but was a little disappointed to find that it was never out of stock after I purchased it. However, I did not see any reviews of Junmai Ginjo, but only of Junmai or Junmai Daiginjo sake, which is a mystery. There was none of the rich sweetness that is often seen in reviews of junmai, and it was a fairly standard, classic sake, neither dark nor light, sweet nor spicy, but rather a medium saké. As a junmai ginjo, it has a clear taste with no cloying flavors, as expected.
The nose is slightly woody and grassy. On the palate, it has a rich sweetness reminiscent of caramel and honey. The impression is similar to that of Pedro Ximenez sherry, so it is not for everyone. If you buy it based on the impression of Wind Forest, you will fail.
The lactic acidity and grain-derived complexity are felt, so it spreads out and the aftertaste is cleaner than expected.
It becomes more rounded and tasty when warmed up.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Purchased at the liquor store Yamada.
A fragrant, sweet-like aroma.
Very smooth, syrupy, rich sweetness. The richness of the rice is also very strong.
The aroma is very impressive and I like it a lot.
It makes me want to eat sweets with strong egg and milk.
I was kindly offered a glass of hot sake.
The sweetness, richness, and savory aroma are outstanding, and it would be absolutely delicious over vanilla ice cream. It is also delicious on its own.
The rice polishing ratio is 70%, but it is sweet.
It tastes better after a few days than after the bottle is opened, but I feel the sweetness more than the umami.
I think this is the way it is made, but personally, I prefer Kaze no Mori...
