Junmai Ginjo-shu from the south. The standard purple label. I thought it would have a modest yet gorgeous fruity aroma with a robust flavor, but what is it?
It seems lighter than usual. Hmm? I had remembered that Matsuyama Mitsui from Ehime Prefecture was used for this one, but the endorsement only says "rice". I wonder if the rice used has changed due to the recent rice riots?
Well, the flavor may be lighter, but it is still delicious.
This sake is brewed with Hashiharuka rice grown in Mr. Kono's own rice paddies. The quality of the sake expresses the terroir of Tosa, brewed by the rice, water, and people of Kochi. It is available only at retailers.
It has a nice aroma and a slightly acidic, refreshing dry taste. It is a perfect match with bonito tataki (bonito chop) to give it a mellow feeling, or with swordfish to bring out its umami.
The last sake for the evening, soaking in the afterglow of my trip to Kochi a week ago.
Junmai Daiginjo, which I don't usually buy. It was a little bit exciting for me. It is full, soft, and good to drink with a meal. However, I think Minami prefers the more refreshing Junmai Tokusenmai.
Clean on the palate. The sweetness is slight. The umami is well balanced. The acidity and sharpness are also good.
A good sake that you will never get tired of drinking.
[I love the south 🫶]
A special summer-only version of South, made from unfiltered unpasteurized sake and aged fresh in the refrigerator👍.
Minami itself is a crisp and dry brand with a Kochi-like impression, but this bottle retains that characteristic while also maintaining a gorgeous aroma, mature flavor, unadorned fruity and gassy taste that is also very well balanced and extremely 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍.
It was a great match with tuna and salmon sashimi: 🐟️
This is really one of the best ‼️
It is a rare sake that is not compressed and is filtered by gravity.
It is similar to Kameizumi, but it has a strong umami flavor and the sake itself is very powerful.
I found a good sake.
