It was a perfect day for a walk, so I bought it at a liquor store along the way.
It is a fine sake that has both a strong, old-fashioned taste and a lightness, but it may not be suitable for a walk on a sunny day.
Gozenshu: Togai Omachi 50 Nama 720ml
Rice used: Omachi rice from Okayama Prefecture (out-of-spec rice used)
Rice polishing ratio: 50
Alcohol content: 16%.
This is the second bottle purchased at Seven Tsudanuma and Kinni-shoji.
On this day, I went to an izakaya with my classmates, but before that, I opened a bottle with my friend at the hotel.
My friend who taught me Isohajime and Tasake ten years ago said, "I don't drink much sake these days.
I asked him to try it because there is a wider range of sake nowadays.
He highly praised the sake, saying it was tart and light sweet, and that it was delicious.
The all-you-can-drink sake at the izakaya afterward was Hakkaisan.
A little too much to drink 😓.
Grapefruit-like acidity and fruity. Fresh, light and dry, with a pleasant thirst-quenching and light aftertaste.
It is a white wine with a strong fruity taste.
Delicious with meat-based dishes.
I was attracted by the print-style label and the green apple on the shoulder, rather than the heavy "Gozenshu" kanji (Chinese characters) label, so I took it home.
It is not a nigori sake, but rather a lightly nigori sake.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the gas and green apples just like the label on the shoulder. The alcohol content is low at 13 degrees, so it is very easy to drink and refreshing. We prepared "horse mackerel openings" as a side dish to go with the Bodhidharma sake, but it might be a little different.
But that's about it. It is a delicious sake that can be drunk on its own without hesitation.
The specs alone are exciting: 100% Omachi produced in Okayama Prefecture.
The nose has a pleasant sweet banana-like aroma.
In the mouth, it has a rich, mellow, slightly sweet flavor that is typical of Omachi. I like it!
It is rich and mellow, but also has a nice sharpness that keeps you pouring more and more sake.
Thank you for the sake.
Sake Tasting in Nihonbashi Area
(7) Gozenshu (Okayama/Tsuji Honten)
I was caught in a line in the last spurt... I was able to meet a very precious sake at the right time 🥹 The fragrance was aromatic even before drinking it! I thought it was surprisingly refreshing right after drinking it, but I was surprised at how much the aroma spread in the aftertaste... 👏It really had a great presence even though I only drank a little bit of it.
Gozenshu Tokutei Omachi 2.2
By the way, I also personally liked Gozenshu Bodai Hashihashi Nama Nigori Sake. Akamakun type!
And the Negimata and Motsu-ni at Sasashin, the venue, were the best!
Sannomiya petit off-line meeting⑳
The Junmai Ginjo Sandesi that someone brought from the fridge and put on the table with the Junmai Omachi soon after the start of the event.
I think they probably drank it since I took their pictures, but I don't remember 😅.
Sannomiya Petit Off-line Meeting ⑫
I found Sandesi of Gozenshu and drank it.
I drank this one warmed up, but it had a strong umami taste!
The avocado pickles were delicious 😋.
Hello bouken 😃
A friendly atmosphere with a side of tsukemono with friends who know each other well! This is a good way to drink 🤗.
I'd like to try the avocado pickles 🥑.
I remember having a cup of sake on a drinking train when I traveled to Kansai 🚃😌.
Hello Jay & Nobby ☔️
It was a very fast-paced experience, with a very homey atmosphere, just like a snack store 😆.
I saw your post again and we are drinking the same thing 😁.
Fruity with a mouthfeel of 60% sweetness and 40% acidity. It has a flavor similar to that of Yamori and Eiko-Fuji's Orikara, which is right up my alley! It has a reserved aspect, so it can be said to be a sake that complements a meal.
