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.
I was not sure if I could 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% domestic 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.
This is my first Morishima. The aroma is pear, and on the palate, a slight banana feeling passes cleanly through the well-heard acidic flavor. Clean and sharp. Maybe it's just me, but I got a somewhat similar vibe to Bakuren.
Morishima Junmai Daiginjo Omachi
The aroma is faintly of white grapes.
In the mouth, there is an impact of the fresh, gaseous sensation that is unique to nama-shu. On the palate, there is a strong sense of white grapes, but there are also green apple, lychee, and a faint chocolate flavor. The impression is clear, dry and elegant. The impact of acidity and alcohol is strong, but the rice flavor is also strong, and the aftertaste is clean and refreshing with a bitter acidity.
It has no peculiarities, making it easy to drink and suitable for a mealtime sake.
