The happy acidity spreads.
It goes well with miso soup with dashi broth.
It also goes well with dried taro, a specialty of Ibaraki.
A good sake with a wide range of flavors that can be enjoyed in various ways.
Encore.
Light nigori.
The umami flavor comes first, and then it goes to the mid-palate with sweetness.
The freshness of the finish is unleashed in the back end.
It was recommended by the liquor store that recommended Gikkyo's Tajiri Farm and Nokomi Joker to me. It was recommended to me by the liquor store owner who recommended Nokomi Joker to me. The aroma is elegant and melon-like, and the aftertaste and aroma linger well after drinking. The price was about 1,600 yen. The cost performance is also excellent.
60%, 16 degrees, slightly tangy on the palate, pineapple-like aroma in the distance, juicy, good sweetness and acidity, clean finish in the second half, delicious!
The aroma is mild. This is what I mean when I say that the aroma opens up after opening the bottle several times rather than immediately after opening!
On the palate, one senses an elegant sweetness and juiciness. It does not have a fruity taste, but rather a full-bodied one from the rice.
I have the impression that it should be carefully paired with Japanese seasonings that are not too rich in flavor.
The aftertaste is a bit alcoholic.
However, when I ate the sausage with garlic pepper on it, I still couldn't understand what was going on...
I'll drink it carefully.
The aroma is green apple type.
When served cold, the first taste is sweetness and acidity, followed by a strong bitterness.
When lukewarm, the sweetness and umami are more pronounced, and the bitterness is reduced considerably.
It is best to drink it lukewarm slowly.
Sweet and sour
The bitterness also comes through,
Delicious!
Is this the first time to buy a bottle by any chance?
Aged and stored for 3 years
Polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 16%.
Purchased because of the unique label design
Slightly fruity aroma.
It's Yamahai, but it has no peculiarities at all and is very easy to drink.
It is simple and clear.
If I had to say more, I would say umami and acidity.
Overall, it is one of the easiest to drink, but it is too simple and a little unsatisfying.
Personal preference: 4.1/5
Purchased at Oto Sake Shop when I stopped by Saga for a sake seminar last month!
There was a corner bar and the manager was very chatty and we had a lot of sake talk 😊.
Since I stopped by on my way home from the seminar, the proprietress of Motoyama Shoten, who brews Motomine Tsuru, was there on my way back from the same seminar and we had a nice little chat 😆.
I purchased my first brand of Koganezawa.
I personally consider it one of the rarest brands among the Dateseven brands, and this was the first time I saw it at the liquor store!
Cold sake.
Aroma with a rich sourness like cheese.
The freshness of the nama sake and the core of yamahai from the middle part of the bottle give it a thick richness.
It is not a peculiar Yamahai, but a gentle and mellow type of Yamahai.
