A souvenir from Matsue from a friend of my wife's who has a sake brewery in Matsue 🍶.
Li Bai comes from the Chinese poet Li Bai, and the anecdote of its naming is said to be quite venerable.

This sake is made from Kaminomai, Shimane Prefecture's rice suitable for sake brewing.
Kaminomai is a cross between Gohyakumangoku and Miyamanishiki, and is grown only in Shimane Prefecture.
The aroma is mild, and the mouthfeel is of rice flavor, or perhaps the flavor of rice, with a clean and dry finish.
I paired it with yazu sashimi, but Shimane sake goes well with fish in any case 😊.
I would say it has a sharpness.
I sensed some gasiness.
There was a sort of bitterness in the aftertaste
I personally didn't like it much.
My spouse said he liked this,
I think it is a type of sake that has a lot of personal differences in likes and dislikes.

Hiyaoroshi in a blue bottle, which is somewhat strange 🙄.
Hiyaoroshi = orange🧡 image is too strong🍂.
The second half has some bitterness, but in general it is a strain that fights with the umami of the rice 🌾.
I can feel the minerals, but I wonder if this is due to the water 🤔.
Good evening, Hiro 😃.
I had a taste of Li Bai, Izumo Fuji and Chiyomusubi on my trip to the San-in area, and they were delicious with local products from the sea and the mountains 😊.
Hello ichiro18 😃.
We buy from several liquor stores, so we have a lot of different kinds of sake at any given time 😁.
It's great to drink it on a trip ❗️ I can't stop drinking it, it goes well with both the sea and the mountains 🤩.
The third of the three (premium) types of sake comparison. The last one is a gem with a very fashionable name. This was the finale of the "I didn't know there were so many Shimane sake brands. I was told that it is a brand that is not easily distributed, and I tasted it gratefully.
This is a very old drink and too much time has passed to accurately describe the taste. Please note that we will rate it neutrally based on the degree to which we would like to repurchase it.
