Sake from Miyagi Prefecture
Wataya Junmai Daiginjo Omachi
I got this as a birthday present for my daughter during her trip to Miyagi. Wataya is not easy to buy in Ibaraki, so I was very happy. And the price of this Junmai Daiginjo is quite reasonable even for a Shigou bottle.
When I drank it, I could clearly taste the umami of rice in the clean flavor typical of Junmai Daiginjo. The lingering aftertaste disappears without a trace. It is a very elegant sake. This kind of sake is best drunk with a small sake cup and snacks.
Degree of liking 9/10
A bottle of Crucible, where we stayed on our Miyagi trip.
It is said to be Wataya's standard food sake.
This black-labeled special junmai sake is brewed with Toyonishiki grapes from Nagasaki Kogen Farm in Ichisako Town, Miyagi Prefecture.
Polishing ratio is 55%.
Since the bottle was opened, we started with the aroma.
A modest sweetness emerges. It is more fragrant than Kenkunichi Junmai-shu.
The first sip is smooth and smooth. The umami of rice spreads in the mouth, but while the sake is cold, the umami is subdued. As the temperature rises, it becomes rounder and more umami.
It is delicious on its own, but even better when paired with Misumi trout, which has been tied up with Hidaka kelp, and wild vegetables.

I spotted it on a business trip to Sendai and bought it 😁.
They use the reconstruction rice started by Miyagi Agricultural High School in their training fields.

Low alcohol content, not too strong flavor, perfect as a food sake for my salad lover 😆👍.
