16%, 65% sake, 0 sake, 2.2 acidity, 1,265 yen for a 4-pack.
I was a little short on words and asked for a "sweet and tasty sake" (I somehow imagined something around AKABU), and this is what the owner served me.
The taste was fresh, crisp, and mellow. It had a sweetness from the rice, and I was happy to have such a good unfiltered, unpasteurized sake at this price 😋.
It was quite different from what I initially thought it would taste like though 😆.
The rice is a rice rice, but because of its low protein content, it is often used as a sake rice.
Drunken outside drinking record.
I thought it reminded me of YK35, a 35% polished Yamada-Nishiki. I don't remember exactly what I drank, but I do remember that it was quite a tasty sake, a little more modern than I expected, but at the same time mellow and calm. I think there are some good sake from Okayama, too.
The first 18 Mori 😄
I got a recommendation to try some sake that I had never had before!
At first, I wondered what it was called. Ohakozakari?
When I asked him, he said it was "Juhachizakari" 😂.
When you open the bottle, you can feel the gas.
The aroma is slightly fruity.
The mouthfeel is not light from the chirichiri, but the fruity sweetness of the 🍍 feeling seems to spread, but the spread is shallow. But it's nice and crisp☺Acid bitterness is also low.
If you leave it a little longer, the chili will decrease, but the bitterness will increase?
I think it is better to cool it down and drink it while feeling the chile chile 😃.
I bet it's delicious👍
Good evening, Jay & Nobby!
It's nice to try a new sake that you've never had before, isn't it?
Sake from different breweries and even from the same brewery can have different flavors due to different rice, different seasons, and many other factors ✨.
First time! Panda no kimochi by Jyuhachimori has been opened 🎉.
At first glance, I thought it was a bottle of sake. At first glance, you'd think it was sake 😆 but it is!
But it is sake 😆 ☝️
According to the store's description...
It's made from Asahi rice, a traditional native rice variety of Okayama, and is a unique sake with an exquisite blend of aromatic and tasty sake, with a precise sake quality design that you wouldn't guess from the outside 🧐.
I wonder what the panda🐼 is 😅
Even if I understand it in my head, my tongue can't understand it, so let's drink it anyway: ❣️
Bon appétit 🥂
First, the aroma.
Not much of an aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a herbal sweetness, and from the middle of the mouth, you will feel a slight gas and a spicy taste.
The spiciness and umami of the rice remain in the mouth without much sharpness.
I think it finishes with dryness from refreshing sweetness 🤔.
I have never had this type before 🌿.
To be honest, I don't really like this type 💧.
But my husband seemed to enjoy it and was happy that it goes well with fish 🥰.
I think it's the perfect food sake for those who don't like too much sweetness, but not too dry either!
It's refreshing, so it's full of coolness. ☺️
Hmmm? Maybe 🤔!
Pandas love bamboo leaves, so maybe it's a combination of bamboo leaves and coolness🌿: ⁉️
Maybe not 🤣.
Good morning, HinaHanaMama 😃Panda cute 🩷Dry with herbal aroma, it sure looks like it has a very refreshing aftertaste 😋The title "panda's feelings" is also troubling. I wonder if you want people to drink it while saying ahhh like this: ⁉️
Hi Wakata 😃Thank you for your comment... Panda🐼 = Bamboo Leaves = Refreshing. It might be fun to drink while thinking about all kinds of things 🤣 sometimes healing, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying. Wakata-san, drinking is great 🥰.
Hi ma-ki-, thanks for your comment 😃.
I'm always excited about my first time, but I think I missed it this time 😢 but it's also an experience ☝️
I thought a lot about how the panda🐼 felt and it was a good learning experience 🤣.
Hi Hina Hana Mama 🌞The panda is a cute label ✨️ I wonder if the sweet herb is like mint gum 🤔I might want to try it on the rocks a bit 🤤First time is a hit or miss fun 🥰.
Hina Hana Mama 🐼💖Hello ❣️ herbiness is panda 🤫The more I read, the more interesting the new taste is 😊It doesn't seem to be sour, so I wonder if it would be good with fish 🥰I'm thinking a lot of panda feelings while looking at ‼️ pandas 🥰.
Hi HinaHanaMama 😃.
Yes, I'm wondering what Panda🐼's feelings are 😅I wonder if it means we should all think about that and drink 🧐It's like a deep Zen question 😌.
I don't know 😆.
Hi Nao888😃Thanks for your comment...it's not green gum 😥It's hard to describe with my vocabulary 🤨For now, imagine the taste of bamboo leaves with sugar 💭I have no idea 🤣.
Hi Pekho 😃Thanks for your comment 😃I didn't find it sour! Basically it was dry 😅I guess it was good for fish 🐟It was not my favorite type 🐟, so Panda🐼 I don't know how you feel 😭 I'm like 💧.
Hi Jay & Nobby😃Thank you for your comment...
I didn't expect Mr. Panda🐼 to give me a mental training: 🧘♀️ I guess I can't keep immersing myself in the sweet and sour world 💦De meh, Mr. Panda🐼, I like sweet and sour... 🙇♀️
The last brewery of the day was Juhachimori, a Kurashiki brewery.
The aroma is pear with pineapple. The puffy taste with a little sourness made it a well-balanced drink.
Alcohol percentage 16%.
Place of Origin (Prefecture) Okayama
Sake rice variety Asahi
Polishing ratio 50%.
A souvenir from Kurashiki. We had it with seasonal bamboo shoots.
Juhachimori Omachi Junmai
18Mori Sake Brewery (Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture)
My sake master brought it to me at the Hanami 🌸 banquet.
It is a gem. 😆
I remember him saying before that he didn't remember drinking much sake from Okayama.
I was so grateful that he brought it all the way here.
I was so grateful that he remembered that I had said before that I don't remember drinking much Okayama sake and brought it all the way here. 😭
It was a Daiginjo-style sake with gentle acidity, sweetness, and umami in harmony, unlike Tenmei's acidity.
