We received Aizan, a special junmai sake from Nabeshima.
It was well-balanced and refreshing.
It was delicious, but I may have expected too much.

I liked the taste of Nabeshima's sake better than the ones I have had
I will try again.

Rice polishing ratio: 60
This is one of the Nabeshima Classic series.
The taste is dry with a predominant acidity. It is not only refreshing but also fruity, and all Nabeshima wines are delicious.
At my usual restaurant.
I looked at the menu and found Nabe-sama's name.
I wondered if it was the usual, but when I looked closer, I saw the name Akaban Oumachi😳.
By the way, "usual" means
It is a regular special junmai.
Luckily, I hit the sealed bottle 😊.
The aroma was like pineapple, a cup of strength, not just the soft deliciousness of the usual special junmai. ❤️

The usual Yakiniku 🥩 and Sake 🍶.
Today we had our regular Nabe-sama 😄.
I couldn't take a picture of the bottle so I borrowed it from the internet.
Sweetness and umami mixed with a slight astringency.
The sake itself is delicious, but the meat flavor is mixed and blended into it, making it twice as delicious 😚.
Trusted and proven Nabe-sama 🤗.
Hello, Chirsta 😃.
When it comes to sake with yakiniku, it's Nabe-sama 😄.
It's a personal staple that I order knowingly because of the delicious spiral of meat and sake 🥩😆.
Nabeshima Junmai Ginjyo Kitashizuku

This is the first Nabeshima in a while. I bought a junmai ginjyo brewed with kitashizuku rice, which I had a good impression of before. Mild and nice aroma like melon. Bubbles appear on the chirori. Dry mouthfeel with more alcohol than sweetness and acidity. The sweetness spreads slowly with the stimulation of carbonation, but it is cut off dryly. The aftertaste is bitter and full-bodied. The clean finish and the length of the aftertaste are impressive. The contrast with Tamitsu, which was bought together, is interesting. As time passed, the sake opened up and changed to a sweet and sour taste spreading on the palate. It was delicious even when the temperature was raised.
