Mild, moderate acidity, delicious both chilled and warmed. It has been a long time since I found a sake I didn't know I liked the taste of.
Slightly sweet for a shichihon-yari, woody nuances, rice flavor, sweetness, and acidity are well balanced.
I bought this sake because I remembered seeing it posted on Sake-no-wa. I liked the name, but perhaps it was my imagination, but I could taste the barrel flavor and I really liked it. I tasted it both at room temperature and warmed (lukewarm), and both were OK.
I was thinking about what to drink, when I heard the restaurant's recommendation, so I went for my first Shichibonshiryari.
It was a Shichibonshiryari with a classical label, not the one with the logo I usually see, but it was a little light and easy to drink.
The alcohol content was normal, but it was very elegant.
It has a deep flavor, but the clarity of the taste is very mysterious.
Hiyaoroshi" is an autumn sake made from sake pressed in winter and matured slowly over the summer. It has a well-balanced taste typical of Yamada-Nishiki, with a soft umami flavor. It has a different flavor and sharpness from our main sake rice, Tamaei, and shows a different side of Nanabonjari. Enjoy this sake as a food sake with autumn flavors.
The rice used for sake is Yamadanishiki, not Tamakae 🌾. It is a basic dry type with a moderate aroma and a good sharpness, and would go well with sashimi and meat.
I bought this when I returned to my hometown (Shiga) for a short time the other day.
The "Seven Spears" refers to the seven military commanders, including Kiyomasa Kato, who were active in the battle of Dorogatake after the death of Nobunaga Oda.
First time I saw it, I selected it by intuition.
Soft impression, not too sweet, but not too strong, and would go well with a variety of dishes.
I drank it with stewed motsu (pork belly) and it was good!
