Omachi Special 2
Slightly sweet aroma when opened, with great anticipation. The mouthfeel is full of flavor, light sweetness, a bit oaky, and a clean mouthfeel. We had it with teppanyaki today.
Yamadanishiki 50% polished rice
This is the one we drank a while ago.
Winner of the first prize in the Junmai Ginjo category of a sake competition.
The aroma is gorgeous and fresh. It also has sweetness. Quintessence.
It has a wonderful balance of juicy sweetness and acidity typical of Yamada-Nishiki. It is a beautifully arranged sake with a sense of freshness.
Serve with oden (Japanese stew).
Tonight, I'm dropping my first series 🤗.
Kankoubai Junmai Ginjo AKI Owl Label 2025BY✨
This is a hiyaoroshi from a sake brewery in Mie that brews sake and plum wine, and is probably one of their autumn-aged products.
The aroma was somewhat plum-like, which may have been my own illusion, but it had a refreshing acidity.
The first sip of the dish is a tart and sour taste, followed by the sweet and juicy taste of apples, Japanese pears, green plums, and cherries. Delicious 😋😋😋.
The back palate is sweet and umami with a dry sharpness, so it is a bottle that can be drunk without getting dull. ☺️
Good morning, Kirataso 😃.
We had this one a little while ago 🤗I thought it was a little too sweet the first day, but the next day it calmed down and was even better! But the next day, it was more delicious! I want to win the animal series!
@Jay & Nobby.
Good morning 😃 The attack is indeed sweet - the taste settles down on the second day 🤗 I hope you enjoy the rest of the animal series: ❗️
It is a summer sake with the familiar penguin🐧 label!
After opening the bottle, the gaseous and fruity taste is so refreshing that you can drink as many glasses as you like.
