It is a fruity drink, perhaps because it is a Junmai Daiginjo, or perhaps because it is made from Yamadanishiki. The first of the year? It has a festive New Year's feeling.
Since there are many ingredients from Miyagi, we changed the planned order and opened the bottle.
This sake won the Grand Prix in the Junmai-shu category at the SAKE COMPETITION 2023. I bought it because it was sold on the refrigerated shelf of the supermarket.
Recommended cold sake. The aroma is more than expected. It smells like fresh mint, or maybe apple.
When you drink it, it is still fresh, but it has a strange taste with a slightly ripe and extractive flavor. It has a slightly bitter taste with a hint of rice flavor, and the sharpness is lifted by the bitterness rather than the spiciness. It goes well with whale, scallops, and sea squirts, but in fact, it goes best with a strongly flavored jakoten (fish cake) simmered in soy sauce. It is recommended for dishes with strong flavors.
On the second day, the bitterness fades and the flavor becomes more umami-driven. The sharpness is dulled, but it is better this way.
Heating up the sake is a bit out of the question, as it makes it too sour. If you want to raise the temperature, it should be 45℃ or higher. It is also good warmed with a hint of sweetness. This is a slightly different type of Junmai from Miyagi Standard Junmai. Freshness is its selling point, but it also changes well after opening the bottle.

#Sake
I went to Miyagi Prefecture! I cruised around Sendai and Matsushima for the first time in a while.
I wanted to drink Abegan, so I had some of the snowy Matsushima.
The weather was great and the sake was delicious ✨
Here's my first Risshun Shibori to wish you good health and good fortune 🌸
Lutemi, as Pon's review says, Tropical Fruity 🏝️ is very easy to drink, it's a swishy one 😆.
Yum 😋.
I had a colonoscopy 📷 for the first time in my life a while ago after getting caught up in a test.
The hardest part was taking a laxative that was like a big size IV drip.
It's a laxative that tastes like more plum vinegar in your precious sake 🤣.
The diagnosis was a close score, if not a perfect 100 ‼️ 😌.
And to celebrate? I was able to drink Risshun Shibori in good health as well 😊.
I will continue to check my health and enjoy my sake life ‼️
Good evening, Maru-san 😀
I am glad to hear that the agonizing inspection was successfully completed and that you were able to drink the Risshun pressed sake 😀.
After all, it is nice to be able to enjoy sake with a sense of the season, isn't it 😀.
Good evening, Maru🦉.
I'm so glad the results were not bad 💦I'm sure you had a hard time with the test 💦I'm sure the sake and ume vinegar were dark sweet and sour 🤣I'm so glad the results were not bad 😊.
I bet this fruity sake tasted amazing afterwards ❣️
Good morning Maru 😃
I'm glad you got a passing grade😊More and more people around me are having colonoscopies these days🙄I've never had one, but my doctor complimented me on my gastroscopy: ✌️🤣
Thank you Yasbay 😊.
It really makes me realize the importance of health. It's no good forgetting so soon, I have to remember 🤣.
The doctor told me to take it again next year 😨.
I need to prepare a reward drink 🤣.
Thank you, Pon 😊.
The Kijoshu Umezu is exquisitely mazy and interesting 🤣 if you are interested, please inspect it 🤣.
It's a really good drink for a healthy body 😊.
