Shichibon-Yari is a sake that uses local Shiga sake rice "Tamakae". It is a limited time only "freshly pressed" sake, for which I am grateful. The other day, I drank "Ki-no-Kan," a sake brewed in wooden vats, and enjoyed it so much that I bought this one. It is fresh, clear, and sweet, but has a nice sharpness. It has a rice polishing ratio of 60% and is almost like a ginjo. Great as a food sake. (I paired it with a hot pot). One of my top 3 favorite brands!
It has a full aroma, a sharpness as it goes down the throat, a freshness only possible with nama-shu, and a feeling of drinking Oroku, which is super delicious!
When I was in Nagahama, Shiga on business, I decided to visit Tomita Sake Brewery to buy a bottle of Shiga's famous sake "Nanamoto Yari" since I was in Nagahama!
After much discussion with the owner, I chose this Junmai Ginjo!
The taste is of the crisp and clear type, though! It has quite a bit of rice flavor 🌾 but not much sweetness. However, after a few days, the sweetness started to come out a little!
Personally, I would like a little more umami or sweetness....
I was able to bring this sake to Kadoya-san as a reserve for their hanpukai limited edition sake ✨️ Thank goodness 🙏The label is too cool 😍but I have a feeling it will be a bit classic sake😅.
The first aroma is mild, maybe banana 🍌, maybe almond 🥜, and when you take it in your mouth, you can feel the umami and then the smoky aroma comes through to your nose 😳I couldn't understand what it was like when I looked at the back label🤣The overwhelming umami of rice with a beautiful sweetness on top of it. The smoky aroma may be the aroma of grain 😋.
On the second day, the smoky aroma has settled down and the sweetness and umami of the rice has melted into a beautiful liquid 🥰It's supposed to be a food sake, but it's a very tasty one that can be enjoyed on its own as well ✨.
Hi Nao888!
You were able to get a rare sake this time too: ⤴️
I vaguely remember having a Shichibonryari a long time ago, but I had an image of it as a clear, dry sake, but it's also a sweet and delicious sake that can be enjoyed on its own.
Hi ma-ki-, thankfully we had a chance to meet 🍶I think this one is also dry, but it has a sweetness to it as well, probably because it's a raw sake, and it was very good 😋.
Hi Nao888😃
I've never had Nanamoto-yari, but the label is full of luxury 🤩It looks like it's for professionals, but I'm glad it's so delicious 🥰The moment you put it in your mouth says it all👍.
Hi Nao888 🐦.
I'm attracted to the "hanging mouth"....it's so fascinating that it's written all over it 😆 And it's a jun-dai as expected! It looks solid yet easy to drink.
I used to have a hard time with the ferry here 💦I'll have to drink it and override it while I'm watching 😁.
Hi HinaHanaMama, 😊I used to think NanamotoYari was for Genin but the active nigori changed my mind 🤤💕Don't tell you I thought for a moment that I might not like it because of the smokiness after the ummmm 🤣.
Hi Pon, 😊It's exciting to see a tusk full of writing ✨I've never had Watafune sake rice before and for a moment I thought I might not like it, but it was good 😋It's a fantastic sake rice from Shiga 🥰 Please update me 💕.
Hi Nao888 😀
Nai888, I see you've been to Kadoya-san too 😀.
I'm also in the hanpukai until this month, so I was looking at the bottle to see what this sake is like, but it looks even better than I imagined😇.
Good evening, Yasbaye 🌛Yes, ✨️ I was recommended by a handsome man whose name I will not mention 👱🏻♂️ I was so distressed by the distribution that I gave up on it, so I am grateful to be able to feel the atmosphere a little 🥰.
Good morning, Nao888 😃!
The appearance of Shichihonjari is beautiful and cool! The label with a tasuki like tasuki is also very effective 😋‼️ It certainly has a classic feel, but I'd like to taste the Ishii aroma 😋.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby 🌞The soy sauce-faced hottie looked like he had a halo ✨I'm looking back thinking the curly scent might have been my imagination 🤔 but it was definitely delicious 🤤.
I drank it cold.
It's sweet on the palate, but only for a moment.
After that, the spiciness of the sake goes down your throat.
This is a level of satisfaction for a regular sake.
The aroma is mild. After a smooth entry into the mouth, the umami of the rice spreads and is followed by the sharpness of the acidity. It reaffirms the quality of sake with less polished rice.
