Kirakucho Yumegala Junmai Daiginjo Dry taste with umami. Bitter and astringent aftertaste. Well-balanced enough to be enjoyed with a meal.

It is also not modern, but as the label on the back says, Kirakucho's goal is to make a "gentle" sake, so it is one thing not to follow the latest fads.

ヒロシ
Slightly floral and fruity aromas of honeydew melon and green apple. Soft and refreshing mouthfeel, slightly acidic, with a slight bitterness at the end, and a short finish. Overall, there is no deep impression, and no freshness of the raw wine. This one was more distinctive after warming. The overall taste is smoother, with a smooth finish and a slight sweetness, and the flavors are like watching a cherry fall with dots and dashes. The impact is still not great.

Purchased at a sake specialty store I was attracted by the words "sake exclusively for heating sake". I didn't realize it was a junmai ginjo, but it was supposed to be heated up, Recommended lukewarm and top warming Recommended lukewarm because of the combination of umami and acidity.

Amto Liquor Store Tasting and Sales Event (7) Followed by two nigori in a row. Kirakucho Shinshu: Activated Nama Nigori Junmai Nigori. It was nigori, and although it did not have a sparkling, active flavor, it had a milky rice sweetness and a bitter aftertaste with a firm bitterness.

It is delicious. It has a good balance between a delicious acidity, a not-too-dense umami, a subtle bitterness that supports the base, and a spiciness that tightens up the aftertaste. It tastes just like Shiga sake, which I have recently become addicted to.

マディ
Purchased a bottle at a neighborhood tasting. Because it was an active unpasteurized sake, it could not be tipped on its side and could not be stored in the refrigerator, but since it was the season, I kept it in the bottle at my front door. I divided it into 4-gou bottles and kept it in the fridge. Since it is nigori sake, it was well separated into the supernatant and the lees portion when it was divided into smaller bottles. The supernatant part was cooled down to a light effervescence. It gives the impression of being sweet with low acidity. The lees portion is thick and viscous, but it has a strong sweetness and a strong umami flavor, and in addition, the impression is of a high alcohol content. It can be enjoyed in various ways, such as by mixing the supernatant and the lees in moderation. I heard that the lees part tastes great hot, so I will give it a try at the end.
