The flavor was like that of peculiar natto (fermented soybeans), but when I drank it, I found that it was not that peculiar, but had a soft acidity and umami flavor, and was much easier to drink and tastier than I had imagined.
Tamagawa, which I bought to drink warmed.
This winter, the "Kanmakase" broke down and I drastically reduced the frequency of drinking heated sake 🥲.
Opened a bottle to drink it while it's cold
It's a normal strength for Tamagawa, but since it was made in 2018BY, it's well colored and has a solid taste.
But it is easier to drink than the Yamahai series (just my opinion), so it is probably Tamagawa's introductory sake 😋.
I kept drinking it cold when I meant to heat it up😅.
Slightly ripe rice aroma.
It has a strong graininess, apple cider vinegar-like aroma, and acidity.
It is full-bodied, with a strong umami.
Slightly complex.
It extends to the back of the tongue and decays slowly.
Taste: 3/5
I haven't been able to drink sake recently due to working on holidays, so this is my first sake in about 2 weeks 😭I've also been suffering from a bad shoulder for the first time in a long time, so my body is a little banged up, so let's get the blood flowing with sake 😏.
I'll have the Mya which I was attracted by the label 🐈.
The aroma is sweet like vanilla. It has a light and clear mouthfeel, and slowly fades away in the second half with a deliciously spicy sweetness.
For a Tamagawa, it is easy to drink at a low 14 degrees Celsius. The signature cat seems to be a model. It seems that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to an animal welfare organization: ☺️
I have paired it with firefly squid and dried sea bream and it is delicious 🐟🐱.
The cat in the illustration is the signature cat of the brewery.
It seems to have passed away.
The sake is light in both aroma and taste.
The alcohol level is 14~15 degrees.
It goes well with nabe dishes, seafood, and simmered dishes.
It is best served cold or at room temperature.
This is Tamagawa's untouched sake Gohyakumangoku.
This is the first time for us to serve untouched sake.
The aroma is of slightly cooked rice with a hint of acidity.
In the mouth, it has a mellow sweet and sour taste, but since the sake rice is Gohyakumangoku, it is not as deep as Tamagawa's.
Last year, I drank a limited edition Nakakumi (Kitanishiki🌾), which had a rich mellow sweet and sour taste with a smooth texture.
I want to buy it 🤔
It was good to drink it at room temperature or warmed up.
It was delicious 🍶✨️
Good evening♪
I am Ane-san, chairperson of the Tamagawa Promotion Committee. I'm happy when people praise Tamagawa because I feel like I'm being praised😃.
Good morning Miss 🌞.
Ane-san's love for Tamagawa🥹🫶🍶.
By the way, which Tamagawa is similar to the brewery's limited edition Nakakumi (Kitanishiki), the one you can get at a sake store? 🤔
I've thought about it, but I'm not sure if there is anything in Tamagawa that can produce that sweetness.
Maybe Junmai Ginjo Celebration. Hmmmmmmmmm...
2023BY
Harper's celebratory brew.
First we will drink it cold 🍶.
The color is slightly golden yellow like Tamagawa.
Sweet aroma of mature sake.
Light flavor for a Tamagawa.
Generally, it is a solid mature sake.
Amino acids are stored in large quantities.
Although it is a junmai ginjo, it is at its best when heated
When heated, the true essence 🍶 of the sake
The umami and acidity come out in full force.
It is delicious!
