Year-end sake notes. Morishima's Omachi. Unexpectedly pretty ordinary! Maybe it felt weaker because Tenbi's Omachi character was so strong. But it's delicious, of course.
Thank you for your continued support this year 🙇 I've been slacking off a lot 💦.

We had a delicious meal...
Morishima, the nearest sake brewery to my parents' house after returning home.
Although not spectacular, this sake is very clean with no cloying taste at all. The freshness typical of nama-shu stands out, and there is a good balance between sweetness and sharpness.
Repeat rate: 80%.
Purchased from: Yokohama Kimishimaya (2,090 yen including tax)
Morishima OMACHI Junmai Daiginjo
Morishima is a Junmai Daiginjo from Morishima Shuzo, which is now one of the leading brands in Ibaraki Prefecture.
Polishing ratio 50%.
Smooth and full-flavored taste brewed by Omachi.
The balance between the umami of the rice and the gentle aftertaste and acidity is exquisite.
Overall, it is an easy-drinking, elegant bottle with Morishima's typical transparency and the freshness of unpasteurized sake.
It is a refined sake that is easy to drink with fresh raw foods such as sashimi, cured ham and cheese.
I would like to match it with non-oily dishes such as fresh sashimi, cured ham, cheese, etc.
We enjoyed it very much!
On a trip to Ibaraki (1)
I was worried about being able to buy Ibaraki sake on the road, so I brought some from home.
Fresh aroma and mouthfeel. It also has a fruity sharpness typical of Yamada-Nishiki. Delicious.
100% Yamadanishiki
Polishing ratio 60
Matchy, welcome to Ibaraki😆You can buy as much as you want at the local sake bar at Mito station: ❤️ rather buy Kirizukuba: ❗️ especially the light nigori: ❗️
I assume from the picture that you are in the Tsuchiura area, so if you are in Tsuchiura, I recommend the Sato Sake Shop in the station building at Tsuchiura Station.
