It is a junmai ginjo brewed with the same long-term low-temperature fermentation malt as daiginjo, and only the "mid-drop" portion, which has the best aroma and taste, is bottled. It is said to be a beautiful sake for everyone, with a good balance of umami and acidity and easy to drink, despite its light and dry taste.
The sake rice is Yamadanishiki and Kuranohana, the rice polishing ratio is 50%, and the yeast is Miyagi yeast.
Served well chilled ✨.
The umami of the rice comes first and the taste is clean and transparent with no cloying taste 😆 The acidity and bitterness balance that comes later is exquisite and leaves a tangy impression on the tongue👍This sake has a good balance of the umami of the rice from Yamadanishiki and the richness of the umami that comes later.
I paired it with pickled eggplant with mustard and horse mackerel sashimi.
The Miyagi yeast has created a junmai ginjo with an elegant and refreshing aroma and a clear taste that is in perfect harmony with the superb sharpness of the wine.
Sake rice is Gohyakumangoku, rice polishing ratio is 55%, and the yeast is Miyagi yeast.
Served well chilled ✨
This sake has a fresh, clean, cool and crisp taste👍It is fresh and crisp with some acidity and bitterness. You can also taste the umami of the rice from Gohyakumangoku 🤤.
The aroma was also subtly citrusy and fresh 😆 I paired it with fried ginger meat rolls and grated chicken skin with wasabi ✨.
Sendai is full of people in Hatsune Miku shirts!
There seems to have been an event
I love local collaboration events like this 😊.
I have one or two more business trips to Sendai, including today!
I went to an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) to try sea squirt, which I never see in the Kansai region.
Sea squirt ajillo and sake go well together!
The sake has a refreshing aroma that goes through your nose and seems to flow down your throat when you drink it!
It was definitely a great combination with sea squirt!
Hello Nobu Nobu-san 🐦.
I noticed from the photo that it is the Tanabata Festival! You went at the right time😊I'm curious to try Hoya as I've never had it before...looks delicious with local sake. ❣️
Thanks for your comment, Ponchan 😊.
Freshness is very important for sea squirts, so you have to choose the right restaurant... The restaurant I go to is always the best ‼︎!
If you are ever in Sendai, be sure to try it!
