I bought this when I visited Shunan City in late October.
While talking with the manager of the liquor store, I was wondering which one I should buy, and he told me that Nakajimaya was delicious. I bought a Junmai Daiginjo because it was a good opportunity.
The rice used for the sake was Yamadanishiki.
Polishing ratio 45%.
The aroma was fresh and sweet, and as I drank it, I could taste the acidity in the sweetness, and the chirichiri-gas feeling was added and switched to a moderate bitterness.
It was a sake with a taste that is typical of the modern kingdom of Yamaguchi.
It was so good that it was recommended to me.
The accompaniments were grilled codfish with foil and potato butter.

Sake rice is Omachi🌾.
Reading the endorsement, it looks like Kumamoto yeast 🧐.
Sweetness and umami. The sweetness is reminiscent of melon🍈.
The way the sweetness is rounded out is excellent👍.
You can also enjoy the ginjo aroma 🤗.
The sake was better than expected 😊.
This is the first time I have had Nakashimaya's sake. This sake is brewed by a sake brewery with a history of over 200 years. According to the sake brewer, they are shifting from traditional sake to a somewhat modern flavor.
The aroma is sweet and fruity like ripe red melon, grapes, or honey apple, but not too strong, and the overall flavor is rich and mellow, with a good amount of sweetness, beautiful acidity, umami, and bitterness. It was well-balanced, juicy, and quite my favorite sake. The sake rice seems to be Omachi, and I realized once again that I prefer sake brewed with Omachi 😁 It has a strong flavor, so it would go well with strong flavored dishes. Thank you very much!
