Refreshing aroma of citrus fruits and
and the aroma of ripe bananas
Spreading from the gentle mouthfeel
The sweetness of Yamada-Nishiki is a perfect example of its quality. ⭕️
Dashi-like umami and great acidity
Exquisite balance.
including the moderate astringent bitterness in the aftertaste.
Perfect balance: ⭕️

Tomorrow is a family outing: ‼️
But I opened this 🤦💦.
I've got a repeat shark 🦈, because good food means a repeat right away.
This time I opened the bottle in 5 minutes...
I can't go any further lol 😆
But it's really good 😋.
When I bought it at the first liquor store I went to, the production date was February 2021. The color turned yellow and I was afraid to drink it. Deep sweetness and drinkability. It is difficult to evaluate.
I bought it on the owner's recommendation and it was so good I drank it that day✨.
I was told it would take a while to open the bottle, but it still took about 15 minutes...
No - that time made me want to drink this sake even more: ‼️
It's sweet and tasty, but it doesn't linger until after 😆 lol
I bought a repeat and will check in again later 🤪.
January 29, 2024
At Japanese Sake Satou in Matsuyama, Japan.
I had a casual drink with my junior colleague who recently got into Sake.
The fourth glass was my first sake, Miyako Bijin
The fourth glass was a freshly squeezed, light nigori sake of Miyako Bijin, which is a first for me.
It is silky, sweet and bitter (with a weak bitterness).
Silky, sweet and bitter (with a weak bitterness). The taste is silky, sweet and bitter (bitterness is weak) with a clean, fresh mouthfeel that does not give the impression of being
Fresh taste with no alkaloids. Delicious with bamboo shoot tempura
It was delicious with bamboo shoot tempura, which is the first time for me to drink it.
This time it is Miyako Bijin's tea label.
Sake from Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture.
It is a 2019BY Gohyakumangoku with foamy No. 9 yeast.
The current label is Tori label.
I took a sip of Tori at an event once before and it was delicious! I personally remember the incident when my partner spilled most of it when I was so impressed with the taste of Tori at a previous event and I got mad (I have a root for this kind of thing) 😂.
The top aroma is a ripe citrusy, smoky, caramelized aroma.
First at room temperature.
Thick mouthfeel.
From the strong citrus acidity reminiscent of kumquat, a creamy, rich sweetness and crisp bitterness spreads on the palate.
The smoky brown rice flavor that lingers in the aftertaste is pleasant, and one sip draws you in for more and more.
Light, mellow, crisp, and delicious!
Heating up the sake makes the flavor more lively 👍.
When heated with water, it has a soft mouthfeel and the sweetness of the rice softly stands out.
Anyway, it's a great taste!
I wish I could secure another bottle 😊.
Hi Hilpeko, good evening 😃.
The 💢downside is hilarious 💢 but this is an excellent review of the taste 😍I'd love to have another sip 😚 and the atmosphere of the label makes it one I'd love to drink 😊.
Hi Hirupeko 😀
I'm still learning a lot and this is the first time I've heard of add water heating 🤣.
Do you literally add water to the sake to heat it up ❓😀😀
I'm currently trying my hand at heating sake a little at a time, so I'm very interested 😀.
Hi Jay & Nobby. It's been a while since I've had a rich, matured sake, so I'm excited 😆 Miyako Bijin has a new toji (master brewer) this season, who is of course a great guy, but I wonder if the quality of the sake will change from what it used to be.
Hi Yasubeyesan. I'm sure there are recipes for heating sake at restaurants that have a warming staff, but I'm a bit rusty 💦It makes it easier to drink, especially if it's a mellow type of sake.
You are drinking a lot, aren't you, Mr. Hirupeko👋.
And it's a rare one these days, Alc.19°.
It looks like it's for warmed sake, but I'd like to try it chilled first 😇.
Second cool. Requested by a business partner. Local Hyogo Prefecture, but I don't know it. It is from Awaji Island, isn't it? I drank it without much expectation, but it was delicious. It is fruity, round, and deep. It was just the way I like it.
