The Aizu souvenir of the Bon Festival is Naraman Junmai Namaishu!
We couldn't stop by the Aizu Shurakukan, so we went to Rion D'Or...
Aizu Kitakata Sake is available at a supermarket near the expressway terminal, and I really appreciate it for buying souvenirs.
Fruity aroma like banana,
Mellow and smooth,
Thick sweetness, fresh and powerful flavor.
Fresh and powerful flavor with good acidity,
Slightly astringent and bitter, you can taste the umami of the rice.
It has a dry taste and is very refreshing,
It has a dry taste and is crisp and clean,
It is delicious!
It goes well with meals.

Sake from Fukushima
Naraman Junmai Ginjyo Namaishu Sake Mirai
I have wanted to try this sake for a long time.
I was interested in this sake because it is made from Sake Mirai rice, which is produced by the Takagi Shuzo brewery of Jyushiyo. There is a story that only breweries approved by Mr. Takagi are allowed to use it, but I do not know the truth.
The aroma is not very strong. The taste is crisp rather than mellow. It has a faint sweetness, followed by sourness and bitterness.
It doesn't seem to have much character.
I don't think I will drink it again.
Liked 8/10
At first, a great deal of fruity flavor is felt, but after that, the alcohol is felt.
The sweetness is moderate.
No sense of depth.
These are just my personal impressions.
First time in a year at Kadoya-san!
It's my first time at Naraman✨
Rice polishing ratio 55
Alcohol 17%.
Sake-like aroma on the first day or two, chirpy and a little bit thick.
Fruity flavor, sweetness, umami, and drinkability.
It is firm but not heavy because of its fruity taste.
Very tasty. ❣️
On the 3rd or 4th day, the fruity flavor fades and it gradually becomes more like sake.
It was easy to drink even though it was more classic.
It went well with dark foods such as eel on rice, salmon kama, and grilled mackerel!
I would definitely like to try other specs!
Hi Hanapin, good evening 🦉.
I finally got to drink it 😊and it was delicious 💕I'm going to ask my husband again to drink the others 💦this is the biggest hurdle for me 🤣.
Hi Pon 😃
Congrats on your 20th Naraman ㊗️ 🎉!
I know many of them are high in alcohol content 😅 but it's really delicious and not too heavy 🤗and the food with it looks delicious 😋.
Thank you Jay & Nobby 😊.
It tasted really good, but it was perfect for me: ❣️ I was drinking this one at 17 degrees 😳 without even being aware of it 🤣I have to take care of my health, but all I have to eat is strong food 😂.
Hi Pon-chan ☀☀☀.
I'm interested in the sake that goes well with eel bowl 😁.
I can see the shift from freshly opened to more subdued flavors as the day goes by ✨.
Good morning, Gyve 🐥.
I was wondering if it would go well with sweet and spicy sauce because it is not too acidic and sweet 🤔Sweet and spicy sauce is difficult to match 😁.
Hi Muro 🐦.
I had a dreamy mind and I was confused 😁 but I decided to start with this one! The store owner also recommended this one, which gave me a boost 😊It's really delicious ❣️
Naraman is my favorite brand in Fukushima. Unlike the impression on the label, it tastes rather modern. It has a fruity, melon-like flavor, but also has a strong sake taste. It also has a slight effervescence, making it a very satisfying bottle every time.
It's been a long time since I bought sake! After all, it's nice to meet you and I'm very excited and happy to see your sake!
Let's start with the aroma!
、、、、、The aroma is sweet and rice-like, just like when you eat rice. This is what I imagine sake to taste like 😃.
Now, take a sip 、、、、、、
The piquancy that is typical of nama-zake spreads pleasantly and wraps around the sweetness, well balanced! This is delicious! The first sip is what makes me think, "This is delicious!
I was curious about the impresario who said that this year's sake was a winner, and I was right!
I hope you all try it too!
Hi Jay & Nobby! Thanks for all your comments! 😃
We are still inexperienced on the sake path, so we will continue to develop our sense of smell to come across the jackpot! Cheers 🍻.
Junmai Ginjo🍶🍶Sake Mirai🌾.
A former colleague of mine invited me to attend a private izakaya sake drinking contest 😆 25 different kinds in all ✨11th glass.
Dry, a little cemedine. Kirei and light ✨ The harshness of kirei spicy is softened a bit by the bonito🐟 ☺️
