Saga, Saga Prefecture, Japan. Saga Brewery Co. Umenomado Special Junmai 3㌥ I tasted and bought this at the Sake Expo held at the Kintetsu Main Store in Abeno Harukas. I actually had it yesterday, but since it is a special junmai, I compared the two. We will drink it cold. The color is clear and almost colorless. The top aroma is mild and not very noticeable. The taste has a robust rice flavor, sweetness, and a nutty, chocolate-like complexity. It is rich and mellow, but compared to Saka, it has a more traditional country-style flavor. The aroma on the nose is bitter and chocolatey. By the second day, the chocolaty flavor has settled down, and a clear, mineral, full flavor emerges, making it easier to drink. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio: 60 Alcohol content: 15 to 16 degrees Celsius

Saga, Saga Prefecture, Japan. Saga Brewery Co. Saka Tokubetsu Junmai Nama Nama Zake. Purchased after tasting at the Sake Expo held at the Kintetsu Main Store in Abeno Harukas. Saka is a new brand, and is apparently better known as "Ume" (window plum). It is served cold. The color is clear with a slight yellowish tinge. The top aroma is mild, with a slight hint of alcohol. The mouthfeel is smooth with a slight flocculation, and it does not feel fresh to the extent that it should. On the palate, there is a little bit of juicy acidity, a little bit of tangy alcohol, and a nutty, full flavor that spreads. The aftertaste is a bit of a sharp spiciness, with a slight throat hit after swallowing. I bought it thinking it would be sweeter and more umami, but it was surprisingly dryer than I expected. I may have fallen for a bit of tasting magic. Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic) Rice polishing ratio: 59 Alcohol content:16

Nemuchi, good evening 🌃 Thanks for the reconnaissance 🙇. Looks like this place was bought by a construction company and they revamped a lot of facilities and lineup 🤔. I was curious about the special junmai draft 🧐.

Good evening, bouken🌛Mission completed😁Is it a small brewery? I asked him if it was a small brewery and he said it was bought like you said, like a M&A and now it's a new big brewery like Otter 🤣.

I like it as much as Kubota Manju. Window plum sake brewery. The label has changed now. It is now called Saka Shuzo. Dry and smooth like water. Dry without any peculiarities. Really easy to drink... If you don't like sake, please give it a try ദ്ദി ᷇᷇᷆.

It is a little bit dry and has a smooth taste. ────. For those who do not like dry sake or those who want to enjoy sake with just a cup of sake. Please enjoy it cooled down to the perfect temperature 🍸*P

There's a slight alcohol aftertaste, but that's about it. There's also a rounded sweetness.
