This is Tamagawa's Yamahai Yamadanishiki 2016BY.
Natural brewing series with between 20 and 21 degrees alcohol by volume 😉.
This one also shipped this February.
Of course hot 🍶.
The top aroma is slightly sweet.
It has a mildly sweet flavor that is very satisfying on the palate.
The Tamagawa naturally brewed series has the image of being fully fermented, but it is quite sweet.
It may be due to the high potential of Yamada-Nishiki 🤔.
It was quite delicious 🍶✨️
Commentary.
The "Yamahai" series is a staple of Tamagawa. This junmai sake is rich in acid and amino acids, born from a yeast-free yeast yeast yeast yeast yeast. The five tastes are powerfully expressed and the richness and sharpness are outstanding.
In addition to this product, there are seasonal limited editions such as "White Label" and "Different Genmai Variety".
This is the second Ice Breaker this season. Again, the taste was typical of summer sake, moderately sweet and typical of modern sake. That is the beauty of Tamagawa.
I enjoyed a little of the miscellaneous sake from the same series that I drank when I brewed my previous plum wine, so I bought some Omachi.
I wanted to drink it at room temperature, so I left it raw for a bit.
The aroma is of soy sauce, mirin, and rice.
When you drink it, you can taste the sweetness and the sourness that comes through slowly, and the aftertaste is savory and sweet, like dashi or soy sauce.
The aftertaste is savory and sweet like chocolate.
It has a high alcohol content, which makes you feel a little bit sick, but you can't help but drink it slowly!
Drink it slowly over a few days.
When served cold, the sweet and sour sourness and the mildness of the soup stock make it much easier to drink than one would expect.
When hiya-dashi, the sourness rounds out a bit and the sake is soft and mild.
When heated, it is like cooked rice, with a hint of mitarashi.
The change in temperature is also delicious.
At the end of last month, on the second Ox day of the year, I drank it with eel and it went great with it! The savory and sweet sauce goes perfectly with eel, and I want to drink it with eel again.
I've been dancing to Gennai Hiraga's tune every year, but I can't help it because it's so delicious.
Good morning, Kotaro!
Sake goes perfectly with eel! I thought it would go well with the expression "mitarashi" 😍I would love to try pairing it with eel and mitarashi dumplings 🍶.
Hi ichiro18, ☀️
The taste like mitarashi or dashi, it went really well with eel 🥳 and dumplings definitely go well with it too ‼️ I've been chivvying and still have some left, maybe I should go buy some 😆.
Reminiscence of a one-day drinking trip to Kanazawa [Daigo] Part 5
The all-you-can-drink time is almost over, so it's time to order some unique drinks for the finish line.
Tamagawa Junmai Ginjo Omachi!
Aged aroma like a herb, a refreshing taste against the aroma on the palate, and a latent ginjo aroma on the back of the nose that lingers even after it finishes.
This sake was made under the concept of combining the best of both aroma and flavor to the maximum extent possible.
This sake was made to be drunk on the rocks.
When I first tried it straight, I felt the richness and umami strongly!
When I added ice, it changed to a refreshing and mellow sake, which was delicious. ☺️
Actually, I heard that it tastes good heated up, so I tried it and it went well~! It was so delicious!
It was only 500ml, so I finished it in no time. ❤️
Masaaki Sapporo, thanks for your comment, I didn't realize it was 100 check-ins myself 😆 Thanks! It was so good 😋 I'd love to try other Tamagawa drinks too!
The recommended way to drink it is on the rocks with lots of ice and that's exactly what I did. I think it's good because it has a strong flavor 😊.
I would like to drink it again.
Clear sweetness
Firm acidity
The mouthfeel is gentle, but the powerful rice flavor gradually spreads in the mouth.
There is a hint of mirin-like flavor.
When it goes down your throat, it is very powerful.
The color of the sake is quite strong.
It is also delicious.
I had been meaning to drink it, but forgot to do so.
I was surprised when I drank it. It was so refreshing and easy to drink.
I wonder how many years ordinary Tamagawa is aged for.
The light Tamagawa is good as a food sake. You will not get tired of drinking it, but that is Tamagawa for you. It has a delicious rice flavor.
