Apparently, this drink was recommended to me by ❗️ as it seems to have a good reputation amongst drinkers 🍶.
It is full-bodied and thick.
It is full-bodied and thick, yet it feels smooth on the throat and leaves a thin sweetness at the end.
It was a well-balanced sake 🤗.
I can see why sake drinkers give it high marks: ❤️
Aged 4 years in 2021BY. The clarification of the rice used is rare, so it must be a leftover from the hanpukai or something. It has a slightly yellowish color and a mild aroma.
At room temperature. Oh, it is surprisingly sweet. Perhaps it is because it is made from Omachi rice. Along with the sugary sweetness, the umami of the rice gradually expands, and the sharpness is quite weak, slowly pulling it up.
It is somewhat different from the image of the brand, not good with grilled fish, and better with simmered dishes. It is very safe as a room temperature medium sized sake for everyday drinking. Somehow it is a room temperature sake.

This sake is made at the Nagai brewery in Yamagata. Purchase at the brewery in Namie.
It is a little peculiar. It has a bitterness. It does not seem to be popular with women.
But I think it gets better day by day. Or rather, I am beginning to understand it. It has a strong and mature taste. The more you drink it, the more you get used to it. Slightly warmed up is good.
It's the kind of sake where your co-worker has a few quirks, but when you talk to him, he may turn out to be a surprisingly nice guy.

Iwaki Kotobuki Yui Akaban Omachi rice 100% special junmai sake 15% 65% Shin Gin Seibai 720ml
This sake is said to be a bonding sake born from the exchange with Akaban City in Okayama Prefecture.
It has a simple taste but good acidity. It has a light acidity and elegant taste. It is also spicy and delicious.
The rice is polished to a fine "shagin" (fine rice), which reduces the amount of impurities and makes the sake clearer, and even with low polishing, the sake quality is said to be at the level of ginjo-shu.
On the way to this brewery, we encountered an earthquake of intensity 4. The staff at the adjoining roadside station said they could hear the earth shaking.

Oumachi, the oldest sake brewer in Japan!
Let's buy it! Let's drink it!
It was delicious, but it was a little chilly, so I warmed it up and found it to be smooth and delicious!
It was the first time in a long time that I could feel a great satisfaction.

We were in Tawaramachi, a rarely visited area, for a dinner with business associates.
This soba kappou restaurant offers a sake pairing with 10 dishes. It was like an all-you-can-drink affair, and it was a lot of fun.
The first sake was from Suzuki Sake Shoten, which finally returned to its hometown to start making sake in 2021 after being destroyed by the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. Suzuki Sake Shop. I am deeply moved.
It is a nice sake with a light mild taste suitable for the first sake and goes well with any meal.

This is my next 🍶! I bought it at a convenience store on my way home from work 😅
Fresh, clean and sweet ❣️
I can't stop drinking it 😋.
I love sandesi💖.
Purchased at a pop-up at a liquor store in Isetan, Shinjuku. It was a delicious sake with a full-bodied sweet taste and a subtle nice aroma rather than a glamorous aftertaste. It is a rare type of sake that is mild and easy to drink, but has a distinctive flavor rather than being watery.
Starts drinking at 15°c.
The aroma is not sweet, but rather sour.
In the mouth, a fluffy, grape-like sweetness spreads.
It feels sweet, but then there is some spiciness.
It has a lot of umami.
This sake is made in Namie-cho, Fukushima Prefecture.
Clear and gorgeous.
I wonder if it is the cosmos yeast that gives it a slight fruity flavor.
It is very tasty and pleasant on the palate!
I heard it is only available in Namie-cho, Fukushima Prefecture, so I am glad I bought it.
