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 🤣.

The moment you put it in your mouth, a rummy sweetness spreads. It has a slightly sour taste with just the right amount of sharpness in the aftertaste.

This is another brand of sake from Imanishi Shuzo, which brews Mimuro Sugi. This is the first time for me to drink this sake, although it bears the name of the brewery. The aroma is strong apple. The mouthfeel is quite light and clear, tasting like water squeezed from apple juice. Is it similar to Mimuro Cedar in direction? I think this one is more fruity. In any case, it is a very beautiful sake.

Imanishi Junmai Ginjo Asahi. This is Imanishi, a limited distribution sake from Imanishi Shuzo, which brews Mimuro Sugi. Last year we received the unfiltered raw Junmai Ginjo Asahi, and this year we got the bottle heated and fired. It is made from Asahi rice grown in Okayama prefecture, which is edible rice but also highly suited for sake brewing. It has a banana and pear-like nuance on the top nose with a fresh sweetness. The characteristic rich and deep umami, firm bitterness, and beautiful acidity give it a sharp edge. It is a well-balanced and delicious sake!

☀️ As a Mimuro maniac, I can't help but drink Imanishi. Such is the position of the sake, Imanishi😎. Immediately after opening the bottle, it seems to be slightly alcoholic 🤔. The flavor composition of sweetness and sourness is similar to Mimuro Cedar. Well, of course it is😅. The rice polishing ratio is 60%, so it seems to have a thicker flavor. It also tingles on the tongue, as is typical for a draft sake. After a day, the sweetness deepens and it tastes sweeter than right after opening the bottle 🤗.

Hi Hiro, ☀️ I saw Imanishi at a liquor store before but gave up on it for fridge reasons 😭 I'm a self-proclaimed Mimuro maniac 🤣. I'll definitely buy some next time I have the chance 🫡✨.
