Nigori sake from a local sake brewery with a 200 year history 🍶I've always been curious about the simple label 😄.
It has a mild, gentle, silky quality, soft sweetness, and a clean, short aftertaste that makes it very easy to drink 😁.
It went very well with sukiyaki 😋.
Yawatagawa 2025 New Sake Brewery Opening Limited Sake
Polishing ratio 50%.
100% Senbon-Nishiki
Alcohol content 16%.
Sake degree 3.5
Price: 2,500 yen
Slightly less ginjo aroma on opening.
In the mouth it is slightly dry with grapefruit to acidity. The acidity lingers a little.
I thought there might be a slight effervescence since it is a nama-shu, but there was none.
It might be more drinkable if the grapefruitiness came through a little more quickly.
Hiroshima sake has a strong acidity, so this might be the right choice.
The Kurabiraki was good. The Daiginjo, which is not a limited edition, was more gorgeous and fruity than this. But it was expensive. The other one we drank was, to say the least, tasteless. It is better not to sell that one. The yakitori was delicious.
To win in the fierce competition in Hiroshima Prefecture...
Basic Information
- Product name: Yawatagawa Dombura Ringo
- Type: Junmai-shu (pure rice sake) "Hukuro-hari" (hanging in a bag) (draft)
- Rice used: Medium new senbon (new senbon)
- Rice polishing ratio: 70
- Alcohol percentage: 8%.
- Sake degree: -41
- Acidity: 3.3
- Yeast: Hiroshima LeG-Sou
This sake uses "Hiroshima LeG-Sou," a new yeast developed by Hiroshima Prefecture. This yeast is inherited from the oldest yeast in Japan, Hiroshima No. 6, which was isolated in the Taisho era (1912-1926), and is characterized by producing about three times more malic acid and more isoamyl acetate.
It is not a regular junmai sake, but was created to have a juicy flavor with low alcohol content. The same Fukuro-hozuri method is used as for the exhibited sake, and only 300 liters can be obtained from one pressing, a labor-intensive process.
Taste and Aroma
It has a fresh apple aroma and a sweet aroma reminiscent of bananas.
Sweet and sour cider-like liquor
I was curious and bought it.
The aroma is like wine
Sweet and sour sake aroma
First of all, it is sweet and sour like wine.
Apple flavor, wine and sake added together
Juice-like
Slight bitterness and sake aftertaste at the end
8 degrees alcohol by volume.
Slightly cloudy and fizzy,
The gas vent hole in the stopper makes me nervous.
The bottle is opened by turning it normally without venting the gas through the vent hole.
Oops!
The bottle was opened without even a single puff.
I was a little disappointed.
I got myself together and started to drink it.
It is not too sweet and tasty,
It tastes a little like melon.
I don't know what it tastes like,
It is a sparkling sake, so there is a little bit of foaminess,
As I thought, I went through 2 gos of sake on the first day of opening the bottle,
Sorry, no beer today.
As the name suggests, this sake is sharp and dry. It has a classical but weightless quality, and although it is probably intended for summer, the acidity is strong from the first sip to the aftertaste, so I think it is better served at room temperature or lukewarm rather than cold 😕.
⭐️⭐️
Purchased at a local sake store.
Small bottle of 300 ml.
This sake was purchased at Anago no Ue in Miyajima in August.
It was hot. I went to Miyajima with my family.
A night to remember the flavor of grilled sea eel at Miyajima with my family.
It's dry and delicious.
This is a comment from an amateur sake lover. I continue to receive fish and local sake at my parents' home in Setouchi. I am enjoying my favorite Yawatagawa. It is firm, dry and refreshing. I am thankful that I can drink good sake today in good health.
