Next up is BLACK LABEL brilliant😊.
This one is also made with black malted rice 😆.
The acidity is not too strong and it is very refreshing 😊.
The aroma is also gorgeous 😊☝️
This is also a delicious sake 😆.
Shirasugi Brewery brews all their sake with rice 😊.
In case you missed it, we didn't forget our original goal and brought home a new sake: ☝️
I'll get a review up soon 😆.
Good evening Jay & Nobby 😊 Actually, as I left the store, I remembered my original purpose 😂 the shopkeeper told me I was right... and I bought it and left 😂 I was a little embarrassed 😅.
Next up is BLACK SWAN😊.
This sake is brewed using black yeast 😊.
So it has a sour taste, but not too sour, sweet and sour 😆.
Easy to drink and delicious 😁.
Next up is the golden shari 😆.
The aroma is even more spectacular than the silver rice we just had 😊.
It seems to be more mellow than sharp 😁.
This is also delicious 😆.
Next up is a silver lining: ☝️
This one also has a gorgeous ginjo aroma 😆.
It's fresh and crisp, just like the unfiltered raw sake 😊.
This is also delicious 😁.
Today, I took a day off from noon for business and went to the liquor store after my errands were over 😊.
I was looking for some sake to pick up when I came across a sake tasting event by the Shirasugi Sake Brewery and had a taste of some of the Shirakikyu sake they sell at the store 😆.
First up was Tango no Hikari from ☝️
The aroma is a fruity ginjo aroma 😊.
The taste is a delicious sake with a strong rice flavor 😆.
It's a good sake 😁.
From the label, there is no sense of sake.
When you drink it, it is no longer sake.
It has a soft aroma, sweetness comes first, and then acidity finishes it off. Tastes like ice wine. I like it!
I don't want to eat blended rice!
Jacket value ... 6/10
The chic look is cool, but there are too many black areas.
Ki ........ 16/20
Transparency 100≦ No strong smell, but white wine? There is a sense of white wine or white grape. The nose has a slight Alc-like tingling on the tip of the tongue, acidity, and a medium-upper range of fullness.
Sei... 17/20
The wine has some sweet/tart flavor, but the texture has a strong Alc-derived stimulation, but in fact it is the sweet/tart flavor that is on the tongue.
Turning point ... 17/20
This flavor is a white wine, but it doesn't taste cheap at all; it has an elegant white wine feel with a touch of astringency that is similar to Koeikiku or Shinmasa.
The taste is not violent, but calm.
Yui 17/20
The smell of white wine that lingers in the air, the sweet flavor and other flavors survive without becoming stagnant, and the fact that there is still no strange feeling of discomfort is also good. This is the power of Japanese staple food!
COSPA ... 7/10
Purchased for 1,815 yen.
This is a new interpretation of the heavy type.
80 points
I'll never forget the "tok-tok-tok" sound of the first sip, and I don't know how to keep it going.
Anyway, this is a white wine, and I remember that it is not too loud and not too noisy, which is a good sign that it has grown up.
4.0
A little minerality in the mouthfeel and a touch of acidity that is refreshing on the tongue.
It has a refreshing sudachi-ish aroma and a smooth flow.
MIRROR MIRROR Unfiltered Nama Sake
Shirasugi Shuzo
Alcohol content: less than 14-15% (undiluted)
Polishing ratio 60
All the rice used is Yumegokochi (produced in Kyoto Prefecture)
Nearly colorless crystal with a sense of transparency
The first impression of the aroma is pleasantly gorgeous
Apple, Shine Muscat, citrus peel, and some kind of cream cheese.
First impression on the palate is rather strong
Full sweetness, firm acidity, moderate bitterness.
Strong fruity sweetness, but it does not linger, so you can drink it without getting lazy.
I like to drink it chilled with a glass of wine.
I would like to drink it with light cheese as a side dish.
If I dare to match it with food, I'd like to try it with "octopus and apple with vinegared miso", but I think the vinegared miso would lose out...
But I'll give it a try!
Good morning, Mura909 😃.
I tend to think of Miller Miller as a sweets pairing, but pairing it with food is challenging!
I know it's cheesy, but how about cured ham apple cheese with honey & pink pepper 🤔?
