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 ✨

- 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.
