It is clear with yellowish tints and has aromas of yogurt, cooked rice, pear, and honeysuckle. The attack is rather strong, with mild acidity, moderate sweetness and a rather short finish.
Mouthfeel is easy to drink like thick water. Minus the alcohol feeling that sticks in the throat. Enjoyable on the time axis, but the second half is tough.
It has a sweet flavor that spreads and draws out as if a warmth is being transmitted through the body. It has an interesting taste that is not peculiar, although it has a bit of an "aji" taste.
When did Sunday nights stop feeling special?
Every day I fool myself with alcohol to cover up my sorrow of working shifts.
How happy I am to be able to drink good sake, even today.
This is a pattern of changing rice.
It's interesting, isn't it? Is it the same? I feel it's special to be able to drink it only at that time.
Two bottles side by side! I was given a choice between the two, so I chose both.
The order is the opposite of the picture, but I started with Hitachi-Nishiki.
It's refreshing. I thought it was a Sasanishiki type because of the name "Nishiki," but I was not aware that it was a Koshihikari type, a well-known type of rice.
The most recent was Tsuki no Hikari. I had a taste of it before dinner, which I don't seem to remember drinking.
Now, I think I prefer this one. Omachi.
I won't say that they are too robust to be drunk side by side. It's not so much that it's too strong, but it's more like a sake, and I think it's really nice that it's so refreshing. If you prefer sweetness, this is the one for you. Sake is really great. And today, too, I would like to express my gratitude.
November 13 is Ibaraki Citizens' Day
Machinaka also features Ibaraki
Schools are closed, but we adults are usually at work
At night we drink Ibaraki sake
Not too sweet, not too fragrant
Modest Omachi
The full body and the flowers that bloom in the aftertaste are Omachi's taste.
It is good at room temperature, but you can also enjoy its sweetness like cotton candy when it is warmed up.
The umami spreads out from the bottom of the bowl. The texture on its own is subtle, but when combined with dashi-flavored snacks, it creates an interesting concerto.
