Aizu Shikon from Nagurayama from [Recommended Jungin Set] at Gonoi Sake Shop, Aizu Sakashita-cho. This is their first brand. I have the impression that Nagurayama is a large-scale local brewer on par with Eisen and Aizu Homare. We know that white malted rice brewing is characterized by citric acidity, but how is it?
The aroma is subdued. The flavor is rather bitter with a sourness that I like. Oh, it's delicious, isn't it, Aizu Shikon?
Instant sweet aroma. The sweetness and umami rush toward you.
The rice-like flavor can also be felt.
The aftertaste is very long.
It is delicious.
The snack was tempura of aosa and baby sardine.
Sweet and juicy on the palate 😋.
The taste, which seems to symbolize the sake of Fukushima and Aizu, is probably due to the fact that the sake rice is Yume-no-Ko.
Not only is it sweet, but it also has a refreshing aftertaste, so I could drink as many glasses as I wanted 😆.
This is exactly what Omachi tastes like! That's what it tastes like.
It has a good balance of flavor, sweetness, and miscellaneous tastes.
It is rich and sweet, and has a robust flavor.
For a snack, we have sankai-zuke (pickled baby sardines in wasabi).
Junmai Ginjo sake made from Omachi rice produced in Okayama Prefecture.
This is the Aizu Shikon, a limited series of Nakurayama's exclusive dealers.
It has a juicy aroma and a gentle sweetness. The acidity and spiciness come from there. It's good ^ ^.
The latest one, Aizu Shikon.
It suits my personal taste. It's well balanced.
If you haven't had it before and are in an environment where you can get it, I recommend it.
It is easy to drink even though it has a bit of miscellaneous flavors, and it has a good aroma because it is a nama-shu.
The slight crackle in the mouth is also very tasty.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
At Oden shop a little bit far from Fukushima station
This is the best drink I've ever had!
I wanted to buy it, but the liquor store that sells it in Fukushima city was too far away without legs.
One day, I will definitely go to Aizu to buy it!
As a memorandum.
This is the first time I drink this sake.
I wonder if it will be another brand of Nakurayama.
The toji (brewer) here was trained by a famous teacher in Fukushima prefecture, and it seems that he also taught the toji of Shinshu Kameari.
The taste is fruity, easy to drink, and delicious, like a ginjo sake from Fukushima Prefecture. It also has a strong alcohol feeling.
I like it, so I want to follow it for a while.
The subtle sweetness you feel after putting it in your mouth. But the sharpness of the acidity that the white koji insists on after all. It's good to pair with a meal ^ ^.
I was attracted by the design of the label and ordered it through Gonoi's free shipping campaign.
It's a late Bon vacation and I'm feeling good, so I'm having a lunch with my wife.
It has a beautiful ginjo aroma.
When it is chilled, it has a slightly sweet flavor with a slightly strong bitterness and a crisp taste.
The alcohol feeling comes at the end, and the aftertaste is short.
When the temperature rises a little, the bitterness becomes a calm balance and it is delicious☺️.
I thought again that the temperature is also important👍.
Thanks for the treat!
