Yamada Nishiki Polishing Ratio: 50% Alcohol Content: 16% ¥2,200
Bought this because the Kido Shiboritate was too delicious. No gassy sensation, but it has umami, fruitiness, and a clean finish—well-balanced. Easy to drink, making it easy to keep pouring another glass. Its lack of distinct character, like a model student, left me feeling it was a bit lacking. Compared to the cost-performance of the Shiboritate Nama, I probably won't repurchase. However, I am curious about other Nama sakes with the same specs. Personal preference rating: 7.5/10. Repurchase likelihood: 6.0/10.
Kido's bottle size is very wallet-friendly 😆.
It has a slightly fruity aroma, and when you drink it, the soft sweetness is well balanced with the spicy acidity that comes afterwards!
New Year's has come and gone, but I thought I would check in. I went to look for an affordable product to decorate the sacred sake with junmai-shu (pure rice wine).
I thought Kido would be more reasonable in terms of price, but when I looked on the shelf, I saw a bottle labeled "Omachi," and I almost immediately decided to buy it.
I was looking forward to drinking it, and when I tried it, I found it had a characteristic fruity sweetness that was different from that of Gohyakumangoku. It has a green apple and banana flavor, but it is still sweet. It is suitable for a simple evening drink, and is delicious as a dessert. It also has a bitter taste and sharpness that is unique to Kido, and the aftertaste is refreshing. Even though it is an Omachi, you can't help but feel that you are drinking Kido. We are glad that we were able to prepare something with a high degree of perfection as an offering.

A very unusual colored sake for New Year's celebrations. A bottle brewed with red rice. It leaves such a beautiful color!
When you open the bottle, the aroma is not like sake. It smells like sweet and savory sweets. In the mouth, the strong sweetness is well balanced by the acidity and bitterness. It is delicious!
The sweetness and saltiness of osechi (New Year's dishes) are not overpowered by the strong sweetness and saltiness. At first glance, it does not look strong, but it seems to have unyielding faith in itself.
When combined with the ponzu vinegar in the pot, it turns into a refreshing sweet water. That's good, too. After two sips, it returns to its original flavor, so it seems that he still has strong convictions.
I met a wonderful sake at the beginning of the New Year!
Yamadanishiki, Junmai Daiginjo, produced from underground water that takes advantage of the climate of Kishu and the cold temperatures of the basin, is not merely fruity, but retains the same mellowness as Junmai, and has a depth that passes through your nose when you drink it.
The price of 1,500 yen is a bargain at a time when sake rice prices are skyrocketing, and one can't help but be grateful to the brewery for its spirit.

🍶It is fragrant and modern. The label says it is soft on the palate and has a ginjo aroma when it enters the mouth, which is true.
