Sweetness that makes you feel even stylish nowadays. It's fruity and can be cut cleanly. Versatile as a mid-meal drink. 100% Bizen Omachi, 65% polishing ratio.

Imanishi Sake Brewery is well known for its Mimuro Cedar. I have not seen this sake very often, but I bought it thinking that the sake bearing their name must be very strong. The aroma is subdued, but it is like a rummy. It has a light sweetness and a nice sharpness. It has a slight alcohol taste. I heard that Asahi rice is a low GI food, I hope this sake is also low GI 🤣.

Imanishi Junmai Ginjo Asahi 100% Asahi rice Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 15%. Sake meter degree +3, acidity 1.9 Fat bottle opened 9/12 and posted 10/2 This is the third time this year. Mimuro cedar brewery... 🌅. Impression is the same. Anyway, it's delicious 😘. Fruity but not too sweet, with a nice spiciness in the aftertaste. I would have picked it up without question if I saw it 🤣. Oh no! You're a Senkinist, aren't you😅 I like Imanishi so much that I'm chasing after Sengoku! Delicious!

Hinahana Mama Good morning... I can't compare the taste of Mimuro cedar because I've only had Mimuro cedar summer/winter nigori, but I think it's similar 🤔 First of all, the mouthfeel is delicious... but you may feel differently in the lingering aftertaste...

As a Mimuro cedar lover, I wanted to try it Imanishi💪. The aroma is rummy, sour and softly rice sweet. I feel the wind of Mimuro cedar... When you drink it, it's chili, soft and sweet, but with great clarity! Delicious the next day too. Chilli rhumune and rice transparency ✨And the acidity that squeezes in your throat is good too. Sweet but mild and moderately puffy, with a clear mouthfeel and no clinginess. It has a nice crisp aftertaste and is refreshing overall. It was a delicious sake that I could easily have another one on its own or with a meal 🍶.

Taste with complexity, maybe slightly fruity. more like a favorite In addition to the clear and smooth mouthfeel that has been thoroughly pursued, the strength and thickness of the flavor derived from soyashi water, and the complex flavor and aroma created by the microorganisms that live in the wooden vat, seemingly conflicting elements create a perfect harmony through the power of Miwa brewing water, the brewing water that resides in the sake god. The initial aroma has a gentle, ripe, melon-like aroma. In the mouth, the soft sweetness of rice like cotton candy and the complex richness of dewy-leaf style rice spread out, and in the latter half, they converge with a powerful yet pleasant acidity.

Drink it cold. The smell is fruity-sweet but the taste is soft but disappears quickly and nicely. I felt it had a high level of quality. 80 points
