Junmai 🍶New Sake✨Yobi Sake Ginbuki🌾.
First of all, a cup. Strong seme smell, a bit harsh. It's good with the herring milt. Next, on a flat plate. The harshness is lessened and the flavor increases. The Wagyu beef tataki eliminates the bad taste and the dish is delicious.

It is rich, complex and full of umami.
It has a rich and complex flavor, with a nice sharp aftertaste that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people.
I bought it at Shirakikuya in Takatsuki City, Osaka for just under 3,000 yen. I always think it is difficult to buy because there is no price tag and they are not very friendly. There is no Jikin, which is supposed to be there, on the shelf. It's not easy for first-time buyers. I took my time to find a junmai draft sake for 3,000 yen, and decided on Daijiro, which barely had a price tag on it. I really wanted to try a sake from another prefecture that I had never had before.
The aroma was a bit fruity, but it was also very drinkable, which made me realize how good sake really is.
But isn't sake expensive these days? I wish they would make it 720ml like wine and sell it at a lower price.
Aroma of fruity and chemical ramen.
The nose is complex with banana, vegetables, peach, and dark aromas.
It has a robust sweet flavor.
There is a pungent taste of alcohol, and it is mellow but moderately tight.
It has a Han-like flavor.
Taste 3/5
I bought this 💁 at a roadside station when I went back to my parents' house at the end of summer vacation.
Sandesi size is good for a light challenge🙆
Satsuma-age as a side dish.
At first I thought it was like clear water and had no characteristics, but the aftertaste was rich and sharp.
I wonder if it is considered dry.
It is refreshing and good for a mid-meal drink 🆗.
It went perfectly with the bonito tataki we had the next day instead of this Satsuma-age 👌
Good, good 🍶.

This is "Umakuchi".
It has the same umami as Nara-shu, but with a slightly less pronounced acidity than Nara-shu.
It also has a hidden bitterness that gives it a thick umami flavor that is not only sweet but also rich.
I have not had many Shiga sake before, but I have a feeling that many of them are well-balanced umami.
I would like to take this opportunity to try more Shiga sake.
Ah, it is delicious.
As the name suggests, this is a 2020BY aged sake. It is made with brewer's yeast and has a sake strength of +8 and an acidity of 2.8.
It is recommended to be heated, but it was still hot, so I served it at room temperature.
The aroma is refreshing, as is typical of a sake made from the traditional sake yeast. The mouthfeel is smooth and not harsh, with a hint of matured flavor. After that, umami and acidity gradually build up, slowly leaving a lingering aftertaste.
It made me feel like I was a little ahead of the autumn season.
The sake was introduced and served to us in a stiff manner. One sip and you can feel its individuality...! You can feel the sweetness of the rice in your mouth and when you swallow it down, but it is not just a sweet sake.
