100% Yamada Nishiki
Kitamura Sake Brewery, you sold it to me even though I went in there not knowing you were closed.
Thank you very much for your kindness.
I was so excited because I had researched on Sake-no-wa and wanted to try "Mae-ki"!
It's a very strong and strong sake, just the way I like it 🐶.
I'll be drunk and having fun soon! 😂
Good evening 🌙.
I'm so glad you went to the brewery 😳I'm so glad you were able to buy it👍It was worth the effort 💦I've never seen this brand before either😳
Made with Gin-no-sato, Fukuoka's sake brewing rice produced in Yoshino.
Nice aroma of banana and melon.
It has umami, but the aftertaste is dry and crisp. It also has a refreshing apple-like acidity and a thickening effect.
Junmai Daiginjo-Unfiltered Nama-shu made from Omachi.
It is recommended to let this one sit for a year or two, but since they didn't have any in stock, I went with the freshly squeezed one.
Creamy sweet rice aroma + pear and melon type aroma. Not strong, but a nice aroma. ❤️
Strong flavor - moderate bitterness. But the aftertaste is spicy.
Yum!
The brewer said that the freshly squeezed one is not cohesive, but I prefer it not to settle down any further - it has a fresh feeling.
The next week, did the bitterness increase? No, the way you feel it depends on where you taste it in your mouth. If you drink it as it is, you can easily feel the bitterness, but if you pair it with a snack, you can feel the umami.
On the way home from a meeting, I bought it at a store I happened to find.
Sake from Nara. Kinuhikari. I bought it because I was curious about many things.
It has a complex aroma like rice bran. It is a deep sake with a rich amino acid taste. It also has a tangy and spicy taste. It seems to go well with firm sashimi such as bonito and red meat.
The second Yoshino restaurant is Kitamura Sake Brewery in Shojo.
It is a junmai ginjo unfiltered raw sake, Zendo Oni, made from Gohyakumangoku (five hundred million stone).
There are various types of the same sake, some freshly pressed, some left to mature for a year, etc. The brewer who helped us said that the freshly pressed sake was not yet ready to drink.
The brewer who helped me recommended the freshly pressed one, as it was not yet cohesive, and the one that had been aged for a year or two was better, but since there were none in stock, I went with the freshly pressed one.
The aroma is sweet, with a hint of rice and vanilla.
It is sweet and tasty in the mouth, but spicy - maybe because it is 17 degrees.
But if you keep drinking it, you can feel the sweetness well.
Yum ✨
I imagined duck would go well with it, but duck is not quite right.
Cream cheese goes well with it. The octopus sashimi is also very tasty 😋.
Kitamura Shuzo
Shojo Junmai Shu Myodo-ki Unfiltered, Unpasteurized, Unpasteurized Nama-shu
This brewery is located in Yoshino-cho, Nara Prefecture.
Kinuhikari rice grown in Nara prefecture is polished to 68%.
The aroma is modest and grain-like, the flavor is firm, and the taste of rice is gentle.
and a gentle and refreshing finish.
A crisp aftertaste.
#Nihon-shu
The aroma of the sake is overwhelming as you drink it from the cedar cup that was given to me with it. The sake is refreshing and has no unique characteristics.
I bought this when I visited a sake fair in Tennoji, Osaka.
It is a common sake in Nara, but you rarely see it outside the Kansai region.
At room temperature.
It has a light taste with a mouthfeel between soft and hard water, characteristic of Nara's sake.
Slightly dry. The aftertaste is very full, with a hint of umami.
The aftertaste is rather short.
After the second sip, it gradually mellows out.
Perfect for the cherry blossom viewing season.
