Nihon Meimon Sake Hanpukai
The nose has a milky, koji-like aroma immediately after pouring, which is then muffled by a sweet, juicy aroma.
On the palate, there is a faint scent of banana.
The mouthfeel is not as juicy as the aroma suggests, with a slight sourness followed by a slight bitterness.
It can be served either as a food sake or on its own.

Aroma is moderate.
The sugar content is not high, but the balance with the acidity leaves a gentle sweetness.
The umami of the rice is also moderate and tasty.
Note? The notes say that it can be used for Italian and French cuisine, so I would like to try it sometime soon.
It was a good match with Karasumi Soba and salted fish.
My favorite Naruto sea bream new sake ✨.
The moment I put it in my mouth, I felt "sweet fresh water".
It brings back memories of biting into sugar cane in Okinawa. And the strange thing is that it has this thick, hot spring water-like texture on the tongue. It leaves a thin, thick film like hyaluronic acid in the mouth. This is a new texture for me. Fruity yet creamy. Yellow melon? Creamy and fruity, like melted powdered sugar. No bitterness. I would love to give this to a young girl who wants to try sake. I am sure she would say it is delicious!
From the website
Freshly pressed junmai sake is bottled in its raw state. It is characterized by a fruity, refreshing taste and a mild aroma like white flowers. The acidity is soft and gentle. The aftertaste has a slight umami flavor. Enjoy the delicate freshness of the freshly squeezed taste.
Naruto Tai Junmai Super Dry
Slightly ginjo sake. It has a smooth and very light sake quality. It has a good sharpness, and before you know it, it is gone from your mouth. There is a slight bitterness.
I think it is best served chilled. It may be a bit lacking when enjoyed on its own, but since it does not interfere with meals, it is perfect as a mealtime sake.
Ties on the table?
Not much aroma, but delicious with a light sweetness and a juicy, contoured acidity that comes on gradually. Easy to pair with meat and fish.
All Naruto sea breams are good, but this one is personally the best.
It has a very ginjo-like, clean mouthfeel with a very light acidity and a strong, rich flavor.
Heated, it has a beautiful mouthfeel with a very light acidity.
Both are the same in text, but you can enjoy both heated and chilled.
I went to Osaka Tinware today for a sale, and even though it was only the first thing in the morning, there were an exorbitant number of people there!
People came from far and wide!
Also, I got a yellow cherry blossom cup at a flea market at Heian Jingu Shrine.
