Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture Tsuji Honten Gozenshu 9 (NINE)
This is a representative brand of Okayama Prefecture, the face of Gozenshu, 9(NINE).
It is brewed by a female toji with rice from Okayama Prefecture. It is a strong and full-flavored sake.
My first brand. I happened to choose this one, the last sake in the Omachi trilogy series 🍶 and it is made with Omachi wild yeast 🧐The top-tasting is modest with a sweet grain aroma 🤔It has a gentle sweetness, acidity, and a soft, tender mouthfeel with a moderate bitterness. After drinking it down, a good richness spreads with a lingering aftertaste. The taste is more classical ❓The homemade rakkyo (rakkyo is a Japanese traditional food), levanilla, and yellowtail sashimi ◯.
I bought this cup of sake the other day in Okayama.
It has a light acidity like white wine👏👏.
It's nice to be able to enjoy this kind of sake easily in a cup. 🙆♂️
Banana and red wine-like aroma.
When you drink it, it tastes like banana milk.
Clear sweetness and a touch of umami.
Rounded acidity. Quiet bitterness in the second half.
It fades quickly.
Delicious!
I drank it all before the entrée arrived,
Cream cheese,
or a salad with fruit dressed with olive oil
I think it would go well with something like cream cheese or a fruit salad dressed with olive oil.
Taste level 4.5/5
Omachi, Bodai yeast.
It has a unique taste with a grape-like fruity flavor and some lactic acidity.
The firmness typical of Omachi is also lightly felt, so it is an excellent sake that can be drunk calmly without being just beautiful and fruity.
