Slightly pale yellow with transparency.
First impression is mellow and powerful
Rice bales in the warehouse, direct alcohol, chestnuts
Strong flavor, weak sweetness.
Bitterness with umami leaves a slight aftertaste
Powerful and lingering.
Closest impression to Junmai Harazake, which I liked but has been discontinued.
It has a strong alcohol taste with umami, so I would like to pair it with spicy food.
I would like to drink it with chicken sprinkled with crazy salt, or perhaps a Big Mac with pepper. (I like Big Mac).
Slightly pale yellow with transparency.
Mellow impression with a hint of ripeness.
Banana, almond, cooked rice, caramel, clove-type spices.
The first impression on the palate is strong, with moderate sweetness, firm acidity, and a full-bodied bitterness that does not linger.
Rich but not clingy impression.
The lingering finish is also moderate.
I would like to match it with a solid meal as it is full and spicy.
Pork stew with octagonal flavor, yellowtail cooked with arabesque sauce.
It would go well with a Big Mac.
Also, it would be delicious to drink it while biting into delicious brown sugar from a remote island in Okinawa.
The last sake to be served at Goshiki was San Shoraku Yamahai Junmai Sake from San Shoraku Shuzo.
This is also a sake from a brewery that I have never tasted before, but I was interested in it because it is from a brewery in Nanto City that I saw when I went to Gokayama for sightseeing today.
First of all, the aroma. It has the aroma of traditional sake.
It seems to have a lot of punch.
When you put it in your mouth, you first feel the sweetness with a bang.
After that, the spiciness is felt, and the sake has a traditional sake feel to it, making it a solid drink.
The sake is much easier to drink and tastes better than the aroma suggests.
All of the sake from Toyama Prefecture went perfectly with the delicious food and made for a great time.
One of the specially selected Toyama sake drinking contests. It is moderately heavy and has a refreshing aftertaste. The alcohol content is a little high at 18 degrees.

While there are many refreshing summer sakes
This is a powerful sake with a punch!
The volume of umami and moderate acidity make it a good summer cold sake 😋.
