The mellowness that is typical of daiginjos. It has a sweet and full flavor. It has a strong thickening effect. The aroma was a bit like Chinese herbal medicine. As mentioned by another check-in person, there is a slight action in the aftertaste.

Purchased on a trip to Shiraishi. The sweetness of the rice is followed by a sharp alcohol taste and sharpness. The owner told me that they are trying to make Miyagi sake less sweet so that people can keep drinking it. I was impressed and thought to myself, "Well, that certainly makes sense.

Today, the Sake-no-Wawa app recommended Zao. So I bought it. (@ AEON MALL Sendai Uesugi) We had it with local tuna and slices of Hobo (a kind of fish) as a side dish. When I drank it, the bitterness of the sake was strangely noticeable. I felt it was different from my favorite sake.

From the liquor store, this sake was The toji made it with only five senses. He said, "I won't make it this year. I was curious and bought it. I was curious and bought it. 2024BY Little aroma. Taste is sweet. Refreshing. No characteristics, if you ask me. Accompanied by grilled meat (salt flavor, honey mustard) Kimchi (rice is soooooo good), potato salad. It goes well with all of them. I honestly didn't think it was that tasty with just sake, but but when I had it with a meal but when I had it with a meal I felt it was delicious. Thank you very much. At Ichiishiya Sake Shop in Chinatown 1,980 yen

Rubbed apple, lychee, coconut and passion fruit. A lot of information from the nose. On the palate, lychee and muscat, maybe, gorgeous. Mineral and fine, light texture. Juicy, but with an elegant fruity feel. It is harmonious. It disappears quickly and clearly. This is a good sake. Taste 4.5/5

Continuing to pick up some ascidians... Joban Line, the brick tunnels of the old line are still there. I think that after another 20-30 years, it will be a heritage of modernization. It is in such a beautiful state that I think it will become a modernization heritage. This sake has a bitter taste in addition to the sweetness. This bitterness is delicious with ascidians😋. It would go well with a variety of food 😀.

The aroma is just a hint of melon. Starts cold. The first taste of alcohol comes slowly, then there is a sweetness with a slightly ripe pineapple-like flavor, and then it slowly fades away. At room temperature, the sweetness is a little weaker and the sharpness stronger. When heated to 40°C (104°F), it has a strong acidity and a slightly bitter taste. At 50℃, the sweetness comes out a little more. I can't say that I like autumn sake, but this one is well-balanced and goes well with eggplant, pumpkin, nabe (hot pot) and other autumn foods. It looks like it could use a little more flavor.

KAB-san Good evening 😄I like this sake and buy it every fall. It has just the right balance or cohesiveness from sweetness to sharpness. It is a sake that goes well with autumn foods.

Sashu-san, good evening 🌃I have always preferred Zao, but I think it has become sweeter overall in recent years. I would like to try a standard one next.

It is a well-balanced bottle with a gentle umami of rice and mild acidity. In the mouth, the soft umami spreads gradually, with a clean and crisp finish. As the name "Horibe Hatake" suggests, the natural flavor is impressive, with the vitality of the rice and the aroma of the earth.

souvenir It has been a long time since I have had a traditional sake. As soon as you taste the faint sweetness, you are immediately enveloped by the sake-like flavor, with a spicy aftertaste. It would have been better to drink it cold instead of chilled. It was a little harsh for the palate accustomed to modern sake.

Kao Fuyusae Junmai Ginjyo Shiboritate Genjyu Nama-zake 16% 60% 720ml 1870yen Sweet like a white peach and juicy with acidity like a strawberry. Oh, it is rich and delicious. Although it is a pure sake, it is light because it is 16%. It was ranked 5th out of 13 bottles at the blind drinking party, Kinshokai. It tastes a little higher than that. They have no sense of taste. Fuyusae" means "bright as a winter morning. Rating 4.2 (out of 5.0) 20240312
