It is gorgeous. It has acidity and is crisp, so in that sense it tastes like a dry wine, but I think it has a rather robust sake-like flavor (I saw the phrase "wine-like" on the sales floor). Whether or not it tastes like wine is beside the point, it is delicious anyway.
I was going to enjoy it cold.... The label on the back of the bottle says it shows its full potential when heated.... Well, I decided to give it a try to see if it tastes even better than when I tasted it. I only drink it cold, so in a way I was looking forward to it.
I immediately warmed it up. It was a delicious sake with a slight sweetness that spread and a sourness in the second half.
I stopped by the sake brewery in Kami-machi, Miyagi Prefecture, when I was on a business trip and bought some.
It is a small sake brewery, but it is one of the few breweries in Miyagi Prefecture that use the traditional "Namahashime" method of making sake.
The label is classic, but the taste is not so old-fashioned, with a natural sweetness and acidity characteristic of the sake's natural yeast. It has a nice simple and gentle flavor typical of Miyagi sake.
I bought it at "Mutoya" in Sendai Station.
I was told that it was a limited edition sake only available here, and I am so glad I bought it!
The owner told me "It's a delicious sake that doesn't disturb your meal", and he was so right.
It was delicious!
You can't find this anywhere, including mail order.
If I ever go to Sendai, I will definitely buy this sake!

I'm not a fan of The Clash, but I picked this up because the label depicting Paul Simenon slamming the bass into the paddler looked so cool.
I was expecting the taste to be punchy, but it was surprisingly refreshing. It tastes a little bit like a traditional sake yeast yeast in the back, but it is easy to drink like water. After a few hours, the sake tasted a little more like sake yeast, so I tried heating it up, which also gave a good impression.
I also bought some kumquat from OSUZU GIN and that was the end of my trip to Morioka. I would like to visit Morioka again someday, as there are some sake that I gave up due to lack of money and refrigerator space, as well as some gourmet food that I am interested in.
Good evening, it's Shamrock, a parallel world from Manazuru in our first series ☘️☘️☘️.
Not a Yotsuba, but I'm opening this bottle to pray for Japan's 🇯🇵 soccer team to win tonight✨
It has a sweetness that is typical of rice, lactic yogurt and acidity, and is delicious 🐴🐴🐴🐴, but it has a high alcohol spiciness on the back end that makes it very drinkable. I had a puku puku brew the other day. I think it is similar to the junmai sake I drank the other day from Pukupuku Brewing (that one is Koshihikari) 🤗.
I heated it up to lukewarm to try it out and it doubled in flavor 😋.
