Aroma that is not matured but still has a matured-like aroma. It has a robust umami flavor. The sweetness of the rice is followed by a clear alcohol taste, and then the acidity and bitterness come in full force.
Although it is my first time to drink it, the taste leaves a lasting impression.
Ryujinmaru after a long time
I didn't have a chance to drink it because it's a bottle, so it's been aged for 3 years now.
It is a 50% Yamada-Nishiki polished unfiltered unpasteurized sake.
The alcohol content is 18%, which is higher than the trend.
The aroma is mild ginjo with a hint of rice and grains.
It seems to be a classic sake, but it is more beautiful than ordinary sake.
Maybe it is because it is made by hanging it in a bag.
The taste is full, strong, sweet and umami.
And I don't know if it's because it's unfiltered raw or because it's aged, but it's very drinkable and delicious, accented with a rich cocoa and malty flavor.
What is particularly impressive is that it combines a rich taste with a light mouthfeel.
You don't notice the 18% alcohol content, and the aftertaste is refreshing and very easy to drink!
I don't often drink classic type sake, but I think it's a very good and well-made sake.
I wanted to try drinking Ryujinmaru🐉.
I happened to stop by the Nanki-Shirahama Toretore Market
I happened to stop by the Nanki-Shirahama Toretore Market and found various specs on the shelf at a fixed price, so I bought it.
The first aroma was of grain-like alcohol and chocolate.
On the palate, it has a subtle sweetness like brown sugar and a savory bitterness. The alcohol content of 18 degrees is powerful.
I do not dislike it.
On the second day, the alcohol smell settles down,
The mild sweetness and umami are balanced by the bitterness. I was able to enjoy it as a food sake.
It went well with simmered kampachi (yellowtail).
Hi Lutertemi 😊.
I see you sold sake at the Toretore market😳
And it's Ryujinmaru🐉.
I can totally understand the savory bitterness!
It surely goes well with boiled fish 🧐.
Good evening, Maru-san 😁.
I thought Ryujinmaru was only available at special dealers, so I was lucky ✌️.
It is a very unique sake. I would like to try other specs when I get used to drinking it 😋.
It has a glossy, mellow flavor with a rich brown sugar or honey-like sweetness. The rich taste of rice is powerful and mellow. There is a slight bitterness behind the umami. I would like to drink this sake in small sips.
The strong peculiar taste of junmai sake and junmai ginjo-shu is subdued and clear, but it has a strong, rich flavor, so I enjoy a small amount to finish off after a meal.
Hi Kotori 😃
When I traveled to Wakayama, there was a lineup of 4 types of Ryujinmaru on display, but I passed it up because of rumors that it was a classic type of sake. I bought the safe Kid and Kurumizaka. Maybe I should have bought them?
Hi Hi Ace 🐥.
Wow, you had 4 different types of Ryujinmaru available 😳 I wish that liquor store would have let me sample it because it's a classic + has a unique quirk 🤔 it's hard not to buy it after drinking it 😅.
Ryujinmaru Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-shu, bag-hung. Aged in house for about 3 years in a special and ice-cooled cellar. It has a mild grain aroma with soft cemedine and iso-scent. The strong acidity spreads smoothly over the smooth mouthfeel, followed by a soft sweetness and umami. The lingering, nutty, dry taste gives it depth and dimension. I love this flavor, and it would be delicious in the sun or lukewarm.
The first sensation is a fresh, fruity aroma.
Sweet aromas of melon and apple tickle the nostrils and make you feel as if you are strolling through a summer fruit orchard.
My first Ryujinmaru 🐉.
I often find over 10,000 bottles of 4-goupe at the store I sometimes go to, but I found a reasonably priced one that was rare, so I bought it 💸.
Dry. Aroma with a graininess. The back of my throat gets squeaky before the sweetness spreads 😆.
It's 18 degrees so it's quite strong alcohol.
Not bad, but I guess it's only for this time 😅.
Speaking of Ryujinmaru, I have an image of Majin Hero Den Wataru.
I haven't seen it so I don't know the story 🤣.
There was a similar anime called 00 Maru a long time ago. I remember it was a doll wearing some kind of Judo outfit....
Hmmm 🧐 Oh! It's Juu-O-Maru! Of Prales Sanshiro! ...who knew that story 🤣.
P.S.
On the second day, the sweetness increased. Chocolatey feeling too. I might buy it again next time I see it 😆.
Hi Maru, ☀️
Congratulations on your 300 check-in 🎉㊗️Ryujinmaru is brewed with the water of longevity discovered by Kukai, just reading the label on the back, it looks awesome! Sounds like good things will happen if you drink it 😆✨.
Masaaki Sapporo, thank you very much for all your support 😊.
I've been curious about Ryujinmaru for a while now, and now I have the chance to try it 👍.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the taste changes in the future 😊.
Thank you Jay & Nobby 😊.
I just happened to have some on hand, so I decided to go with this one for 300😙 It's quite a punchy🤜 sake, so it would go well with a strong flavored meal.
It just makes the back of my throat squeaky 🥹.
Thank you, Kotaro 😊.
Ryujinmaru🐉 is made from empty seawater with longevity.
If I drink it, will it stop my old man from getting old? 🤣
I'll drink a lot 🤣.
Congratulations on your 300 check-ins, brother Maru🎊.
I almost missed it because I reached it quietly 💦.
I never knew that Ryujinmaru is a sake from Wakayama 💡.
I've never heard of it before 💡 but it looks expensive and I wonder if I can afford it,
Thank you, Yoohee 🙏.
I've secretly achieved the Kiri-number 👍Thank you for finding me 🤣.
Ryujinmaru, it was introduced in a manga and became popular. It's not sold very often, but it's not that expensive 😁.
Thank you, Gyve 😊.
Gyve, were you a Wataru fan 😁 I didn't watch it but the pink ninja girl made an impression on me!
Ryujinmaru (Sake) is not a cute ninja, she's rugged though 🤣.
Maru, congratulations on 300 check-ins㊗️🎉🎊Oh〰︎Ryujinmaru✨We have one but it's been waiting for its turn😅I'm curious what it tastes like🤔It's made with water of longevity⁉️You have to drink this 🤣
Thank you, Tsubu-chan 😊.
I went to Ryujinmaru👍!
The first day was like a raging dragon🐉, but the second day was a bit calmer 🙆.
If you want to drink it, you might want to divide it into several days 😁.
Congratulations on 300 check-ins, Maru 🎉🎉🎉!
Your first drink, and with a name you're thankful to have, it's a lucky number ✨I'm intrigued that it changes so much from day 1 to day 2 😳.
I haven't seen it but I know all about it 😆.
Thank you, Pon 😊.
The name and the description on the back label are very scary, this is a bottle worthy of the number 🤣.
It may depend on the meal you served it with, but it tasted quite different👍.
I didn't know you could understand it all, you must be Pon-chan's generation ⁉️🤣!
Congratulations on your 300 check-ins, Maru 🎉🎉🎉.
I am curious about this drink as it is selling out quickly. I love that it was chosen for the Kiri number. I think it tastes more like me than I thought 🤭.
Thank you Lutemi, ☺️
I was lucky enough to get it this time 🙌 It was a good experience to drink Ryujinmaru 😄.
Maybe it's the taste you like, Rutemi-san! I don't know 🤣.
Let's go drinking again!
The top nose has a slightly tangy aroma reminiscent of wild buckwheat honey, quince, brown sugar, caramel notes, and minerality. The rounded, glossy quality of the wine is sweet, dark, and slightly bitter, with a Shaoxing-like alu feel, a wide range of flavor and richness, and a fruity, bitter-chocolate atmosphere.
It has a fruity, bitter chocolate atmosphere. It has a richness of 18 degrees Celsius, and even if you drink it in small sips, you will still feel tipsy 😚.
It would be good to finish with a little bit of it 😊.
Good evening, Mr. Matsuchiyo!
I don't know how long it's been aged, but the information on the label when I bought it said that it was fermented slowly and for a long time at a low temperature and that it should be labeled as Junmai Daiginjo. The aroma has a sense of buckwheat honey😅.
Hello, Kotori 😃
Oh...you got Ryujinmaru! You got Ryujinmaru👍Your quote about buckwheat honey is quintessential Kotori 🤗I had to google it to find out 😄.
Hi Jay & Nobby 🐥.
This one is the one we got during the cold season, so it might be better if it is ♨️ heated 🤤 Buckwheat honey seems to be nutritious but has a strong flavor that may not be to your taste 🤭🙅🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️ specialty store will let you taste it 🤭.
Hi WOM 😃I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip to Tohoku, reuniting with your friends and visiting breweries 😊I was healed by the nice atmosphere of your photos 🤭Kochira is a rich and mellow type...a true nectar! I enjoy it every night.
The first rare thing at home fills the mouth with a caramel-like sweetness and density. The smooth texture of the rice conveys the flavor of the rice and disappears with the strong alcohol and acidity. It was the first of its type.
Kii tasted the sake from Ogawa.
The mouthfeel is thick and mellow. It is rich and thick, with a profound flavor that spreads throughout the palate.
It was a very tasty sake with a thick and rich flavor.
Ryujinmaru Daiginjyo Nama Sake 40
The aroma is sweet and rich...
The mouthfeel is gentle, but soon the inside of the mouth tastes like a mixture of caramel x sugar!
It's quite dark but has a clean crispness that is typical of Aruzome! 😊
Sake given to me at work😍I can't afford to buy it myself so I'm very grateful! 🥰
