I chose this from several recommendations at a tavern. It is moderately sweet and has a refreshing acidity. It is amazing that this refreshing taste can be produced at a rice polishing ratio of 88%.
Kanazawa drinking frenzy trip - the third drink 🍶!
We will have a regular type from Shinmasa, which no longer needs any explanation: ☺️
The aroma is mellow yet refreshing and pleasantly fruity 💕.
The taste is rather refreshing, slightly effervescent, light and juicy, and very easy to drink ✨.
The fresh acidity is also refreshing 😋.
Very mellow and at 13% alcohol by volume, you can't help but guzzle it... no, you have to taste it more carefully 💧.
Unfortunately, I drank it all up before I could take the time to savor it 😓.
I don't know if it was that easy to drink 🍶....
Anyway, I'm sure it was delicious ✨
- Aramasa Sake Brewery, Akita Prefecture秋田県, ABV 13%, 55% rice koji, 60% kakemai, Rikyu 132 No.陸羽132 (famous for being pesticide-free?)
- A junmai-shu from premium sake Aramasa. Quite fruity, complex acidity, almost yogurt-like aroma. I found it too complex to define, but my tastemaker wife said it was definitely a memorable glass. A glass that only the most discerning palate will appreciate why it's so expensive. Personally, I wasn't a fan of the strong acidity. Is it cheap on the palate?
Yesterday I had a good thing happen, so I went to my usual bar to celebrate 😊.
The toast was to Shinmasa's Tangerine 🍊.
And it was freshly opened, so we were very excited!
It was my first time to taste the colors series. The aroma is like orange or grapefruit, and the acidity is strong from the sake brewing process.
The gasiness is medium, and after the acidity comes the umami and sweetness 🤔.
At the end, there is a slight to medium bitterness.
Overall, it was a light, refreshing and delicious sake with strong acidity 🍶.
Good evening, Chirsta!
Oh what a good thing to celebrate 🎵!
That's a great tangerine to open your mouth with, too: ⤴️
I haven't tried the label yet, but it looks easy to drink and delicious 🤤.
Good evening HinaHanaMama🌝.
I'm so thankful for the encounter with the freshly opened Shinmasa as it was a good thing in my life 😊.
It was the first time for me to drink the fire-roasted colored series and it was so delicious 🤤.
Good evening, ma-ki🌝.
I just wanted to go to my favorite bar, so this was a good opportunity 😊.
I only meet Shinmasa when I go out for a drink, and it was freshly opened, so it was great ✨.
Smooth, elegant and full of euphoria from the slight oaky, melon-scented attack of the wooden vat brewing. This is the first x-type I've had, and it's good for the scarcity experience value.
The first new policy of the season was Viridian, so the last one too â
100% Misato Nishiki
Polishing ratio 55
Alcohol 13%.
Slightly white wine-like aroma, acidic and muscat-like flavor, woody somehow.
And the bitterness is quite strong 😳.
On the 2nd to 4th day, the acidity gradually settles down and the sweetness becomes more balanced.
On the 4th day, the bitterness is almost gone.
I preferred the 3rd day, which is like a good combination of white wine and sake 😊.
Almost Colors, but I enjoyed it a lot in a year!
Hope to drink it again next season 🙏✨
Good morning, Pon-chan 😀
I am surprised at the number of bottles of Niimasa, but even more surprised that you have that many bottles left: ‼️
Unfortunately, I only have one bottle of No.6 left in my small house 🤣.
Good morning, Pon-chan 😊
As always, Pon-chan, your colorful bottle series is spectacular 😍I'm sure it will be fun to have one or two bottles lined up 🥰.
And, Shinsei! I'm jealous😘.
Good morning, Pon!
Oh start with Viridian and end with Viridian 😍.
I envy you that you can drink so much at home, but it's the result of your wonderful drinking habits 🤗.
I dream of getting Shinmasa by myself 🤤.
Pon.
Good morning!
Hi, I thought I couldn't buy Niimasa, but you were drinking it here 🤣I'm jealous of you ☝️
I would like to enjoy the taste of white wine and sake 🤩.
Hi Hanapin 🐦🐦.
I enjoyed a lot of delicious sake, though the taste is different every time...just hard to keep the bottles 😂.
If you come across it, please do!
Hi Yasbay 🐦.
It's really hard to keep the empty bottles 😂 they are well made and I reuse them to hold plum wine 👍 in the end I will only keep the No.6 too 😁.
Hello, Takashi 🐦.
This is the end of my colorful bottle series for this season! My closet is now clear 🤣 I'm trying to figure out what to focus on next season 😁.
Hi ma-ki🐦.
Thanks to you, I've been able to drink 😊The drinks I can drink change depending on the restaurant I go to 💦而I wonder when I'll be able to drink at home now 😂.
Hi Koizo 🐦.
I'm excited to see what it tastes like because it changes every time 😁I was surprised that this Viridian was the most like a white wine I've ever had when I just opened it 😳.
Hi Aladdin 🐦.
Yes it looks like Viridian will be gone 😢 that's one of the reasons I'm buying some 😁.
I wonder if they will have different rice when they run out 🤔
Good evening, Pon-chan 🌛.
Actually, I got a long-sought "Viridian" around summer, but I offered it to [Poziya] as a closing gift 🤣.
I will try my best to get another bottle ✨️
Good evening, Jive 🦉🦉.
You were given a gift, weren't you? I'm sure you will be able to buy the next one, Mr. Gyve, you are so generous 😊 Unlike the Corona days, it's harder to buy now, so I wonder how long I can keep drinking it 🥹.
