crispy melon
The aroma is reminiscent of ripe melon and lactic acid. From the clean mouthfeel, crisp, clear acidity flows in parallel with cotton candy-like sweetness. The second half is complex and finishes with a slight bitterness.
Like a crisp melon cocktail, it is easy to drink even in hot weather.

This time we open Dio Abita in Mimuro cedar.
Dio Abita is the Italian word for "divine", and has won many awards at the SAKE competition and the Sendai Sake Summit.
As a sake meek person, I wanted to try it, so I took a sip!
What a delicious taste!
What is this flavor?
Juicy and mildly sweet with a freshness like that of a rummy 😋.
The gentle acidity and slight bitterness are well balanced.
I thought it tasted like something I've had before, but it has a similar taste and sharpness to Ryoseki Shuzo's Suitama in Akita Prefecture ✨.
The snack this time was something with duck and mozzarella cheese in olive oil.
It went well with it and I drank it very fast!
I opened half of it at once because it was low alcohol (13 degrees)...
It was a perfect match for my taste!
Mimuro Sugi Romain Series Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki.
We will be receiving a Junmai Ginjo of Yamadanishiki from Imanishi Shuzo Mimuro Sugi, which has a brewery in Miwa, Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture, the birthplace of Japanese sake.
The refreshing, cool, apple-like aroma on the nose is followed by the mild sweetness of Yamadanishiki, and then the umami spreads out. The clear, fresh acidity finishes off the crisp finish.
Today, we served this sake with Miwa Somen, the birthplace of Somen, which is made from the same brewing water as Mimuro Sengen. The sourness of the ume-flavored dipping sauce is a perfect match!
Scoring: ☆☆☆☆
Mimuro's dry ❣️
It's a spicy one that I didn't have a chance to buy lol.
I overheard a sales clerk, who is quite a drinker, telling a woman of about 20 years old who came to buy it for her father's present that this was the best dry sake she could buy.
I'll have it.
The aroma is very mild 😁.
Refreshing flavor and clean acidity in the mouth ❣️
The rice is full-bodied and finishes with a nice sharpness👍
It's dry but also juicy and umami, I would say it's dry in Mimuro rather than dry in general🤔.
Good morning, T.KISO😃.
I see you reached for the spicy one after a conversation with the waiter🤗The spicy one in Mimuro! That's definitely the one we like ‼️ I'll make a note of it 📝.
We received Mimuro Cedar Summer Jun.
It is the last day of July. It has been hot every day and summer is in full swing, but I realized that there is only half a month left if we assume that summer lasts until Obon, and only one week left if we assume that summer lasts until Risshu (the first day of autumn).
So, I hurriedly opened a bottle of summer sake.
Mimuro-Sugi Natsujun is a staple of summer sake in my house.
I always have a hard time finding it because there are not many liquor stores that carry Mimuro-Sugi in my area.
It has a fruity flavor that is typical of Japanese sake, but at the same time it is light and has a clean, refreshing taste that is typical of Mimuro-Sugi. There are many kinds of summer sake, but this is the right summer sake to drink on a hot summer day. It goes perfectly with summer snacks such as edamame and chilled tofu.
It was so delicious that it made me miss next year's sake.

Sake rice Yamadanishiki
Polishing ratio unknown
Sweet, fruity and juicy on the palate. It has a sweet taste, but it is not dull. The aftertaste is umami and moderately astringent. Very tasty.
