Mild on the palate and down the throat. The aroma is gorgeous, yet it goes down smoothly. The spiciness is moderate.
I compared four kinds of sake, but this one seemed to suit my taste buds the best.
This is the first time I've seen the sake "Shinkai Ginbuki" (🍶).
I bought this sake because I had never seen it at my favorite liquor store in my neighborhood and I had never had Shiga sake before! I bought it because I had never had Shiga sake before!
The aroma is of rice, and you can tell it has a dry taste.
The first thing you notice when you drink it is the dry taste of the sake! The first thing that hits you in the mouth is the dry taste of the sake 😆 .
The umami flavor spreads slowly down the throat, giving it a solid drinking experience!
The finish is well-balanced, though not heavy or light! It is not heavy, but has a well-balanced aftertaste, not to say it is light.
It seems to be easy to match with food, and it was perfect with seafood as shown in the photo!
(The photo shows grilled sea bream and sashimi. (The photo is of grilled sea bream and sashimi. We had it with the first opening of the bottle, and both sides were outstanding and great! 🎉)
It is very light and dry!
It is voluptuous, but the taste does not linger, so it can be a good introduction to dry sake! It's a great introduction to dry wine!
This is the first time I have seen this sake, but it is delicious, similar to the Ojiro I had the other day.
It has a nice acidity that is not too flashy, a slight bitterness that lingers, and enough umami to make you want more.
Is this what you call a Shiga sake?
I'm drinking at home 🎵🎵
The second wife label from Fukushima Sake Brewery in Kyoto 😍.
Limited edition of 36 bottles, 33/36!
I bought it quite a while ago but cherish it too much and when it's out of season, 😭
I'll take it 🥰.
Awkward 😊
It's an adult 🍯🍋 honey lemon 🙏.
Good evening, Aochan 😃.
I see you got the wife juice 😁.
But limited to 36 bottles, that's great again! It was almost sold out when it was announced on instagram 🤔.
It's intoxicating, the taste seems to match the label too ☺️
Good evening, Ao-chan. I thought the wife juice was only for Matsui sake brewery, but I didn't realize they made a version for Kamikai! It looks pretty sour, but I'm curious 🫣.
Good evening, Hirupeko.
The second version was a god opening version!
Really thick and sour 😰.
I drink a little bit of it every day 😰.
Are you curious about my wife's juice 🤣?
This time it is a pure rice daiginjo from Kamikai. This sake is from Koka City, Shiga Prefecture.
It is a Junmai-Daiginjo with 1801 yeast.
I bought it when I visited a sake festival at Takashimaya in Kyoto.
I was attracted by its clean and beautiful taste, and the retro label is also a high point for me personally.
It is served cold.
Almost crystalline appearance.
The nose is fresh and fruity, reminiscent of Japanese pears, with a sweet, candy-like aroma.
It has a mild mouthfeel. The fresh fruity taste of Japanese pear is refreshingly light, with a gentle candy-like sweetness and a sourness derived from the sake's natural yeast. The astringent taste behind it reveals the full-bodied umami of rice. The aftertaste is pleasantly bitter, with a lingering bitterness that contains a full-bodied umami flavor.
The base is light jun-dai, but the taste is delicious with a fullness of depth in a transparency that gives a soft Japanese pear taste.
Actually, I drank it lazily after opening the bottle, but the sake quality has been stable during that time, and it was easy to drink as an unpretentious jun-dai that is distinctly different from the gorgeous fruity jun-dai that is common in jun-dai.
I had just received some peaches, so I enjoyed it with peaches, and the fruity sweetness of the peaches made me happy🍑.
Hi Hirupeko, nice to meet you😊I always refer to your reviews!
I prefer refreshing fruity to gorgeous fruity, so it looks so delicious just reading it 🥳.
Sake 🍶 to be served with peaches would be nice too✨.
Good evening, Kotaro. Thank you for your comment 😊Refreshing fruity is especially perfect for this season 🏝️It's calm for a pure large, so maybe the fruit goes with it even more 🍑✨.
Hi Hirupeko 😃.
You did a good job of capturing the atmospheric label 🤗Classic looking but refreshing & fruity with a Japanese pear feel 😋I'll make a note 📝of this Shiga sake I'd like to try 👍
Good evening, Jay & Nobby. I was recommended to try a variety of sake at the end of the tasting (see Nemuchi for details), and I brought it home with me.

Yeast: No.6 yeast
Is it the character of Shinkai or the No.6 yeast, the refreshing acidity 😊or the dignified sweetness of Ginfukiyuki?
When the temperature goes up, the pineapple-like umami comes to the forefront.
I just couldn't drink the Hatada Shake this year 😰I wish I could have!
Message on the back label
Nama ki nuki nukke michi yaku kutomo kai shikutomo."
Is it the Corona disaster?
But I guess it gave me courage 😔... I guess it's a good thing that I have energy for tomorrow.
