Elegant sweetness that gently melts away.
The floral aroma wafts through the nose.
It is too beautiful with a smooth and flowing taste.
The best!
Purchased at Kimishimaya.
Gin no Iroha, 45% polished rice
Strong aroma! It also has a fruitiness to it. It has a fruitiness to it.
Sweet with sourness! This is not like Wataya's sweetness (lol). It's like white wine.
It's also not like Wataya in the sense that it doesn't go well with snacks. You should taste and drink it by itself. I wonder if the usual umami is behind the sweetness.
I thought natto bacillus was strictly prohibited when making sake.
After several years of thinking about it, I finally had a chance to drink it!
Bitter taste at first
Good sharpness
Sake Kai [25 years tokkuri x ogawa].
Intrigued by the label, I tried this one too. It is a limited edition sake made from Miyamanishiki grown by Kawaguchi Natto once a year. I was expecting something related to natto, but it did not taste like natto at all, but rather a good sake with a strong rice flavor. The sweetness is moderate, and the taste is also suitable for a mid-meal drink. The aroma is more subdued than that of Chokapu. I thought it would be even better if it were heated up.
At a Japanese restaurant I stopped by briefly on a business trip to Sendai.

Aroma of cedar, soft and light mouthfeel, dry and squeezed with a hint of sweetness and umami, and a slight burnt bitterness. It has a gentle mouthfeel and is easy to drink. Goes well with sushi.
