I found "Nagosake" by chance!
Other brands have started to sell new sake, and we can feel the change of the season. We are very happy that we were able to obtain it at the right time this year as well 🙌.
When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is clean and fruity with no corners like bananas or white peaches.
The mouthfeel is soft and smooth. Fresh sweetness and roundness like ripe melon or peach. The astringent taste is gradually stimulated. The taste is a rich, concentrated, delicious flavor!
The bright sharpness of the acidity that comes there. It has a lightness that disappears as it is, and it is a beautifully shaped and beautiful taste ✨.
Along with Aomori's seasonal ibis 🍎.
The more time passes, the deeper the flavor of "Nagoshi Sake" deepens.
I will enjoy the change in taste this year as well!
I went for yakitori & drinks with my juniors 🍺.
We had a good time drinking without hesitation 😊.
I was surprised to find that I could not buy it because it is usually sold at the liquor store.
I was expecting a sweet and thick sake, but I got the impression that it's very refreshing.
The aroma is not flashy, the sweetness is elegant, crisp and elegant sake that does not interfere with the meal 😌.
Sharaku Junmai Ginjo Nagosozake Hashu Honor" by Miyazumi Shuzo
Sharaku" Junmai Ginjo-Nagosake, a limited edition sake for the fall season, has undergone ideal aging to bring out its soft flavor and is just about ready to drink.
The sake rice used, "Hashu Homare" (羽州名誉), is a rice developed in Yamagata Prefecture for sake brewing, and is also used in Takagi Shuzo's famous sake "Jyushidai". This rice was bred by Tatsugoro Takagi in 2000 and is the result of crossing Miyamanishiki and Tamaryu F10.
Sake made from "Hashu Homare" has a particularly good balance of sweetness and acidity, and is remarkably easy to drink. It is rich in rice flavor, yet never boring to drink.
Although not as famous as hiyaoroshi, it is called nagoshizake in Chinese characters and is used by a very small number of breweries.
In September, when the cool breeze begins to blow, it is a sake that has just passed through the summer and spent one summer in a cool brewery. The astringent and angular taste of new sake has become rounded, and the taste is just the right amount of freshness and richness, with a lightness and mildness that is truly an "Autumn Run" flavor.
