A gift.
It has a herb-like aroma and a delicious mouthfeel.
It doesn't interfere with food, so I recommend it more as a food sake than on its own: ☝️
I don't buy a bottle unless I really like it, so it took me quite a while to finish it 😆.
Good evening, brother Maru. I have an image of Tetsuji's rice 🌾I would be happy to receive a bottle, but I am worried about storing it, and it is recommended to drink it chilled 😫.
Good morning Maru 😃
If it's your favorite sake, a bottle goes by in a blink of an eye... 😁I can't pick and choose what I get 😅I see it's from a brewery in Izumisano 😊I'd like to buy a four-pack if I can find it 🤣.
Good morning, Miss Peco!
I didn't know that Tetsuji-san is also a sake taster 😳. I need to learn more about my hometown celebrities 🤣.
I thought about heating it up, but since it's on ✖️ 😅I ended up drinking it all cold 😄.
Rafa, good morning ☀☀☀.
If it's your favorite drink, it'll be available in 3 days or so 🤣.
So no go, it's classic and not bad 👍.
We also have one made with Yamada Nishiki from Sakai 🙇.
The second drink was a sake from my hometown Izumisano, Osaka.
This was my first time drinking it, and it is sweet, fruity, and so delicious. 🙆♂️
It tasted similar to the first cup of Nanamizu, with no bitterness after drinking, and to be honest, it exceeded my expectations.
It was a gift from a junior colleague at work.
I received it last year and remember that it had quite a punchy 🤜 flavor.
It has a faint smell of cemedine, and a somewhat chemical 🧪 atmosphere in the mouth, but it has a nice, clean taste that doesn't interfere with the meal 😊.
It's only 3 days old and it's getting sweeter and tastier 🙌
I got it in a bottle, so I'm thinking of trying some heated sake with ✖️ on the back label 🧐.
Hi, Maru-san 😀
I think a bottle of sake gives you a lot of challenges and a different kind of fun 😀.
I was also disappointed the other day when I heated up two rabbits even though I knew it was a bad idea, but it's fun to challenge yourself 😀.
Good morning, Yasube, ☀️
One of the best things about sake is that you can try so many different things 😊.
Heating sake with two hares, sounds like it takes a lot of courage 🤣.
Maru-san has a sake cellar!
I love it!
I love it!
We have a vegetable compartment in our fridge 😭
And we can only stock up to 3 bottles because 1/4 of it is occupied all the time😭.
Hello Sake Run, ☀️
A reward for 100 check-ins? I bought it with my own money (← this is important) with my wife's permission 🤣.
I'm curious about your nush in the vegetable room, Mr. Lan 🧐.
Shonosato Kita Series
Junmai Namaisake
Much smoother and tastier on the palate than I had imagined from the label.
It is a strange sake that passes smoothly on the tongue, and one can only taste the umami without stimulating any part of the palate.
I feel that because the sake tastes so good, it would be better with a side dish that doesn't interfere too much with the taste, but I also feel that this sake is the kind of sake that accepts strong, dark flavors.
When you put it in your mouth, the umami is assertive. Perhaps because it is served cold, the aroma is not so strong.
With all due respect, I did not expect Yamada-Nishiki from Osaka to go this far. More than I expected.
The red label, which has been in the lineup for some time, was made with Yamadanishiki produced in Higashiosaka under the supervision of Tetsuji Shampoo Hat (only Kansai people would understand this 🙄 ), but this green label uses Yamadanishiki from Hineno, Izumisano City, where the brewery is located.
Unlike the dry red label, this one is said to be sweet.
It is fruity and light, with a gentle but not overpowering sweetness. There is a slight spiciness at the end. Although it is a pure sake, it is not heavy and easy to drink.
I think this may be my favorite of all the Shounosato sakes I've had so far.
Good evening Rafa 😃.
So-no-Sato sometimes comes to Kintetsu in Harukas, or you can find it in the Osaka sake section of Aeon 😁.
Osaka sake is also very tasty 😃.
