Ryujinmaru Daiginjo aged in ice for three years. The aroma is gentle but beautiful. It has a moderate but structured acidity, a beautiful umami flavor, and a subtle sweetness that is soft and pleasant. The taste is different from the fruity level of today's sake, and is truly a beautiful sake. It is also good from the sun to just above human skin, and gradually the acidity and sweetness increase, giving it a deep flavor, and the bitterness in the aftertaste is also enjoyable. At higher temperatures, the sweetness tends to jump out, and there are different tastes.
It has a mild, aged aroma slightly reminiscent of tamari soy sauce. It has a mellow, glossy quality with just a hint of chilli. The nose has a mildly bitter and alky aroma, and the taste on the nose is similar to rum raisins or bitter chocolate. It is a rich, umami type that slowly spreads its richness and umami. Although the alcohol content is 18%, it is so soft on the palate that you can easily drink it again and again, sipping it little by little.
I would like to drink a daiginjo someday.
Happy New Year, Kotori-san! ㊗️
Oh, you're drinking a rare one: ❗️ Ryujinmaru is a brand I doubt I'll ever be able to drink again 😂It smells like tamari soy sauce, I'm curious: ❗️
Manachie-san, 🐲Happy New Year 🙏I'm glad to hear you are doing well. I think the timing is right 🍶🤭If I were to give you a 10-point scale, I would say it's 2 for the tamari soy sauce taste at the beginning, 6 for the umami taste in the middle, and 2 for the cocoa taste in the aftertaste.
The fourth drink was a hard-to-find brand, Ryujinmaru from Wakayama.
It was my first time to drink it, and it was a classic one with a mild bitterness.
It was delicious, but maybe too young for my childish taste buds 🤣.
I heard that Ryujinmaru tastes good when heated, so next time I would like to try it with heated sake.
Sake from Wakayama, Japan
RYUJINMARU Junmai Ginjo Nama-no-Hara Sake
This sake was introduced in the manga "Moyashimon" and quickly became famous and difficult to obtain. Since "Moyashimon" was published in 2005, the crisis of sake has been introduced in the manga for quite some time. I was lucky to be able to purchase it because I wanted to drink it at least once when I was reading the manga.
Moyashimon" was a favorite anime of my daughters, who were in elementary school at the time, and they collected many stuffed toys of Orizee and his friends. I was deeply moved to be able to drink Ryujinmaru with my daughter 18 years later.
Ryujinmaru tastes very fruity, just as it is presented in the manga. Today, fruity sake is on the rise, but back then, light and dry sake was the mainstream, and sweet sake was made with a lot of additives. Sake from those days tended to be avoided because it gave people a bad hangover.
Nowadays, as shown in the manga, junmai (pure rice) sake is increasingly made using traditional methods. One reason may be that more and more toji (master brewers) are graduating from Tokyo University of Agriculture. I would be happy if "Moyashimon" was the catalyst for this trend.
Degree of liking 10/10
Good morning, nenemu 😃.
We are new to sake, we know that Ryujinmaru is a rare sake, but we didn't know about Moyashimon 😅It's very emotional to have a saki drink with your daughter who was in elementary school at that time 🥹.
Thank you for your comment!
Ryujinmaru is so rare that many people don't even know it exists. I had a drink with my daughter while talking about memories of Yashimonos. It was a good time.
Ryu~jinmaru~!
I'm about to reveal my age, but this is Ryujinmaru, a famous sake from Wakayama, Japan!
This year is the year of the dragon, so we will open the bottle today in honor of the dragon.
The top aroma is a quiet, withering, grassy, atmospheric scent. In other words, it has an elegant and deep aroma.
In the mouth...oh, this is thick! The rich and powerful mouthfeel of the pure sake, the full-bodied bitterness that spreads in the mouth, and the smoothness that goes down your throat! This is what I call "Nama-no-Harakyu".
As the name Ryujinmaru suggests, it has a powerful mellow flavor that is addictive. ☺️ I also bought a Junmai-shu of this Ryujinmaru, so I'm looking forward to that one too ✨.
And I'm really looking forward to discovering more good sake this year 😊.
I don't have the vocabulary to describe it well, but it has a very nice aftertaste with an elegant and strong sense of maturity. Although it is a dry sake, it is delicious with just the right combination of sweetness and umami. I have had other types of Ryujinmaru, but I got the impression that the aftertaste was even more assertive.
Ryujinmaru, a rare sake from Wakayama Prefecture, is brewed as a pure sake!
Dry, refreshing, with a slight cemedine smell, it is a sake that seems to be addictive!
For me, the two most fantastic sake are XX and this Ryujinmaru 😀.
First, I got the Ryujinmaru.
When you drink it while reading the label, you can feel the romance of this sake
I can feel the romance of this sake when I drink it while reading the label.
It is a very rich, mellow, dry, umami-guchi authentic sake, strong.
It is strong. It goes the way of the solitary, without worrying about trends.
I am going to be addicted to it. I want to drink it again 😋.
