I bought it hibernating in a liquor store without checking the production date😅.
When opened
Not much aroma, faint grain type aroma
First sip, tastes almost like traditional sake but a bit different 🤔? Strange taste 🙁.
As I continue to drink it
Behind the alcohol taste, there were rice taste, sourness, umami, and sweetness, which became complex and deep taste, and it was delicious.
2nd day
The alcohol feeling softened, and a gentle sweetness and sourness spread in the mouth, followed by the taste of rice (umami) and a slight bitterness.
When it reaches room temperature, the sweetness becomes even stronger and the aroma changes to a slight vanilla-like sweetness 😀.
Quite tasty 🤤.
The second day was more delicious with a taste I personally like 😋.
Next time I see it, I'll make sure to check the production date and buy a new one 😋.
I'll buy a new one 🧐.
Today is the last day of work!
We will have it again this year!
New Sake "Oragami Nama
The specs have changed from 1.9 to 1.8 in acidity.
This is within the margin of error.
Elegant aroma on the nose.
Fresh acidity of new sake
Only new sake can produce the balance of freshness and umami.
Balance of umami and freshness
Delicious!
Takubon-san, good evening. I was drinking Kitajima Mizukagami, which is delicious 😆 I also like Miyamanishiki Oragami, which has an outstanding "flavor and freshness balance that new sake Oragami can produce" 😋.
I tasted it by courtesy of the restaurant.
If it is this rich when drunk cold, I think it will be even better when heated. The softness, acidity, and sourness of this sake create a complex harmony.
Purchased because of the direct pumping and medium take-out.
Kitajima itself is also of interest to me, and I have high expectations for it.
When the bottle was opened, there was not much aroma.
When you drink it, you will be hit with the umami of rice.
Then, the freshness of the directly pumped sake and the elegant taste of the middle part of the bottle.
The taste is freshness from direct pumping and the elegant flavor of the middle part of the bottle,
The sharp dry taste keeps you from getting tired of drinking it,
It is very delicious.
It was a very good sake that was easy to pair with food.
Hi Shonan Han 😃.
Congratulations on your first Kitajima-san 🎉 ㊗️
We love Kitajima-san fresh too 😋I've never had Yamada Nishiki, but this is really good sake 🤗.
Hi Jay & Nobby, ❗️
I drank it for the first time and was surprised at how delicious it was👍It's become a repeat brand and I'd love to try other specs 😊.
