It tastes like a ginjo sake. It's not fruity, but it tastes like water.

Rice used is something from Kyushu It was sent together with eel as a hometown tax return gift from Isahaya City❗️. It is a clear and dry sake with good sharpness ‼️. The sweetness is just a hint and goes well with eel. I was curious about the sake brewery that has the same name as Okinawa "Reimei", but I see they are related. It is interesting to see how many things are connected in this industry.

I got this on a trip to Nagasaki last year. I will have it while thinking back to the delicious Turkish rice and Sara Udon noodles 🤤. When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is sweet and fluffy, like pudding or custard. The aroma is gentle and soothing. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky, but as the aroma suggests, it has a pudding-like flavor and a moist sweetness that fills the mouth 🍮. On the other hand, it also has a slightly tangy and pungent acidity that gives it a lightness, so it has a good balance of depth of flavor and a sharpness that goes down your throat👍. In the latter half of the bottle, the astringent taste also comes out, so the flavor can be felt as caramelized. There are also the standard "Yokoyama Goju" and "Rokujyosu", and I remember that I had a lot of trouble finding a variety at the Nagasaki airport. I also drank Nagasaki sake several times, and it seems to me that the level of sake is as high as that of shochu 😌.

At Sushi Wakatakemaru, located in Amu Plaza Nagasaki near JR Nagasaki Station. The rice tasted refreshing and went well with the delicious grilled mackerel and Nagasaki's fresh fish sushi.

Purchased on a trip to Shimabara. It has the delicious rice flavor and full-bodied sweetness typical of junmai sake. I would like to try it heated.

Purchased on a trip to Shimabara. It may be sold only in Nagasaki Prefecture. It is a junmai-shu, which seems to be a junmai-shu. It has a full-bodied rice flavor with a sweet and spicy aftertaste. I felt it lacked individuality, but it was a cosy sake. (It was about 1,200 yen).
