I was curious about this sake because it was introduced as a sake that goes well with raw oysters in a certain anime "Mimi-shimbo". The anime depicted it as having no fishy smell when paired with raw oysters, but I wondered if a sake with such a strong aroma and taste would really go well with raw oysters.
This is a Kanazawa limited edition label obtained on a recent trip to Hokuriku!
It's getting colder and darker sakes are getting warmer. We are ready to open the bottle 👍.
When you open the bottle and pour it, the aroma is fragrant and deep, with hints of soy sauce, miso, herbs, and burnt oak.
The mouthfeel is dry with a slight roundness. The mouthfeel is dry and slightly rounded, with a refreshing acidity that spreads out in a flash. The astringent taste is tightened up and the umami of rice swells up.
The full-bodied flavor of fermented seasonings and grains. It has body but is well-balanced and delicious ✨.
It is still a great sake that you can't go wrong with!
Of course I will enjoy it warmed up and take my time with it 😋.
It was served hot. The manager of the restaurant I usually go to insisted that I have it hot. It was delicious. But I don't know how to drink hot sake, so I thought I'd like to drink cold sake as well and taste various kinds of sake.
So I quietly popped some on the table and had some cold sake, which was dry.
I couldn't resist buying it, attracted by the eye-catching blue bottle and the beauty of the morsels submerged in it!
The aroma is not fruity, but slightly sweet✨.
Mild sweetness in the mouth. How graceful!
And a creamy, milky nigori rice flavor.
Transparency in the beginning, and as you continue drinking, oh my! It's so rich 😮.
The rice flavor is softly expanding. The rice flavor is a result of the Yamahai brewing process. And it has a smooth texture on the tongue.
Easy to drink!
I'm looking forward to drinking it with dinner today ✨.
Good evening, yoyoyo!
It's really beautiful and looks like it's going to suck you in 😍It's also good to see the glasses of nigori sake lined up! I'd love to drink some 😋.
Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments! The blue of the bottle and the white of the nigori makes it look like the white waves of the ocean before dawn ✨It looks and tastes great 😀.
This is another sake that my partner had requested. Perhaps because it was purchased in the summer, it was a sake with an emphasis on freshness at the right time of year.
It was a well-balanced and easy-to-drink sake, with a cool, refreshing taste and a vigorous mouthfeel, and only a little bit of a tangy taste in the latter half.
It has a fresh flavor, and although it is a honjozo, it has a bitterness and acidity that is reminiscent of yamahai, and the alcohol that leaves the nose afterwards is refreshing and delicious, and is well-priced.
