Taman's signature dry ginjo to be enjoyed at lunchtime sake at the end of the year. Moderate ginjo aroma. It is not fruity. A refreshing apple-like acidity spreads through this clear ginjo-shu. Much lighter. The refreshing taste is just right for a day like today, when the sun is a little strong. The elegant sweetness stands out clearly and is delicious.
The last Ishikawa Sake Brewery Appreciation Day of the year. We had a bottle of Araobashiri there. The year 2025 was a year of enjoying Tokyo's sake. I really enjoyed the monthly "Thanks Day" at the Ishikawa Sake Brewery. I hope to enjoy more Tokyo sake for the rest of the year and next year as well.
Slightly yellowish liquid color
Mild sweet aroma like rice
The sweetness of rice spreads softly in the mouth, and the sweetness of rice can be felt.
It has a chestnut-like taste, but it is easy to drink without any peculiarities.
Delicious!
On Saturday the 22nd, I went to Ishikawa Shuzo's Appreciation Day. I bought a bottle of Yamahai Junmai sake brewed in 2021. When I took my eyes off the bottle for a moment, it turned out to be a very heated akuchin. It was so yellow that it was like a mirin without any flavor. The sweetness, umami, and acidity are all present, and the 2021-brewed sake doesn't have that old sake-like flavor, but has an appeal that wavers between mature and old sake...like a fluctuation.
Junmai Kameguchi from Taman Juban. What is it...a faint lychee-like aroma. There is a hint of alcohol in the aroma. When you put it in your mouth, the alcohol feeling spreads and a hint of sweetness and astringency follows. When it combines with air in the mouth, it fires with a sharp taste. A dry, powerful, fresh sake. Very tasty.
I bought it because of the cute cat label.
Fussa brewery opening sake.
Drunk.
Slightly sweet smell, acidity comes first, sweetness disappears quickly.
The taste is unexpectedly strong.
The guesses are cheese kimchi and oden.
Strong drinker that does not lose out to the kimchi. I like it!
