It has a moderate, restrained aroma, and the sweetness of the rice spreads as you drink it. It has a nice sharpness, and can be used as a mid-meal drink. Delicious, highly recommended.
.
Up until now, my encounters with Minami have been limited to Tokujun, but this time it's Jun Dai!
Even though it is jun-dai, the ginjo aroma is subdued and gentle.
The mouthfeel is firm at first, but the clear and refreshing taste and the lingering aftertaste give it the character of jun-dai and make you feel the quality of a higher grade.
I guess you should drink Tokujun with fresh bonito tataki and Jun Dai with ayu fish from the clear stream⁉
The name "Ayu" is also "Ayu" 🤣.
PS. The real meaning of "An-yu" is different though.
Jay & Nobby, congrats 😆.
I was curious to know if they have Jun Dai in the south too 🤔 (of course they do 🤣).
Tokujun was a bit dry, but this one had sweetness, bitterness, and acidity all with a gentle touch 🐴. 👍️
South is spicy. I personally think that South is the perfect match for your image of dry Kochi sake.
The spiciness and sharpness of this sake goes perfectly with bonito and all kinds of seafood.
It has the flavor of hiyaoroshi with a hint of sweetness.
Delicious! It is spicy.
The bonito is even better than that. The thick bonito, the fat, and the sake are wonderful.
Ah, I want to go to Kochi.
Good evening, Mr. Maruwa 🌙
I was actually planning to travel to Kochi this week and had made reservations at a restaurant for bonito tataki, but had to cancel due to circumstances...
I was really looking forward to this marriage 😢.
I feel your pain!
Hello, Jurian.
Sorry to hear about your trip to Kochi.
I wish I could go to Kochi too.
I am thinking of going to an izakaya (Japanese-style pub) that is famous for its straw grill.
Minami Junmai Ginjo
100% Matsuyama Mitsui produced in Kochi Prefecture
Polishing ratio 50%.
Alcohol content 17%.
Sake meter degree: +8.0 Acidity: 1.7
Fat bottle opened 10/5, submitted 10/17
This is the second time for Minami-san of Matsuyama Mitsui following the last Omachi!
First, a little about the Minami Sake Brewery.
It is a small sake brewery with an annual production of about 300 koku (about 300 liters). 1 koku is equal to 100 bottles, so 300 koku is only about 30,000 bottles per square meter!
Expectations are high for sake from such a sake brewery!
After opening the bottle, the aroma was a bit gorgeous 🤩!
Expectations are even higher!
When I put it in my mouth, I was like, "Whoa! Spicy!
I was disappointed in a good way😅.
I was told at the time of purchase that it had a Sake meter rating of +8, but it's coming!
But the first sip is beautiful and juicy like a junmai ginjo, but I was surprised by this change!
It also has a little acidity and a clean aftertaste, so you won't get tired of drinking it even though it has 17% alcohol content!
If you like dry wine, please give it a try👍.
Delicious!
Hi Kozo 🐦.
Minami-san, I'm surprised to know that it's 300 koku as it's a sake I see rather often 😳I'll drink more 😆.
And this one seems to be spicy, typical of Kochi! I would like to try it with bonito😊.
Mr. Jay & Mrs. Nobby
Good evening...
The first time I drank Minami-san, it was on the sweet side, but reading your post, it seems to be a dry brewery overall 🤔The gap between the aroma and the taste is delightful 👍We hope you enjoy it!
Pon.
Good evening...
Yes, it goes well with bonito! It goes well with bonito 🤩I drank it while eating tataki, but it's still Kochi sake! It went perfectly with it 😘.
First time south!
Minami-chan drink✨
I was under the impression it was a dry sake,
It was properly dry 😆.
It also has the juicy flavor of raw sake,
The acidity and sharpness in the latter half is strong 😋.
A good food sake 👍
It's been a while since I bought a brewdog!
PUNK IPA has been in 350ml cans for sometime now 😆.
Tasty as ever 🍺🍺🍺🍺.
