First time drinking Machida Brewery at home.
I saw a lot of reviews about it, so I bought it.
Cold sake
Refreshing aroma
Pear-like freshness and astringency
No sweet aftertaste.
When opened, it has a strong gaseous taste.
Yamada-Nishiki, 35% polished rice
The umami of the rice is stronger than the aroma. The lingering finish is crisp and refreshing, with a hint of a tang.
When I was at a drinking party with company members and ordered a variety of sake, I asked for the restaurant's recommendation, and this Machida Sake Brewery appeared!
It was unopened, so it was slightly gassy, clean, fruity, and I drank it in a gulp. ☺️
★★★★★
Machida Shuzo Special Junmai 55 "Miyamanishiki Nigori
Purchased at Takahashi Yo Shoten 1,540 yen
The bottle has a label warning you to open the bottle carefully...
Compared to the Otone Shuzo's Left Oshin that I had the other day, I was able to open the bottle without any difficulty.
It was an elegant sake that was more like a lees-based sake than a nigori sake.
It was fruity and had just the right amount of gas, which is a common expression, but in the end, I like this kind of sake.
It has a nice, tight, gaseous feel that only direct pumping can give! The aroma is reminiscent of La France and pineapple. A very nice aroma!
The aroma is tropical and the taste is slightly bitter.
It is so refreshing that it makes you want to gobble it up!
(Although I am still awaiting the results of my health checkup (from the previous year), I have resumed my rah-rah activities! The second time I tried Yamaoka's restaurant, I tried their normal special miso 😋 It was rich and delicious!
Good evening, Kotori. 😊
I can't wait to go to the "Rahkatsu" too........ 😫
I'm randomly choosing from shoyu, salt, and special miso.
I'm choosing at random. I'm going to try the shoyu, shio, and special miso 😋 and all of them have green onion. I can't wait to try it 😂.
Good evening, Hanapin-san 🐥.
I had a drink the day before the checkup, so I think my judgment will be bad😅Hanapin-san's spirit of doing things when you decide to do them is wonderful 👏🏻 Please run to Yamaoka's house after the checkup to recharge your energy 😋.
Good evening, Kotori-san 🌛.
I also achieved the combo of "Machida Sake Brewery" and ramen the other day at a ramen shop where you can drink 😁.
[I've been wanting to try the Yamaoka family's ramen 🥰.
Hi Jive-san 🐥.
If I could drink such good sake at a ramen shop, I might go there 🤭You found a great ramen shop 🤩Please visit Yamaokaa regularly too: 👮🏻
Hi Manachy 🐥.
🌸It's a great day for biking 🏍️🍃
To get to know your first special miso, I had it normal first 😋Next time I want to put back fat and butter on it! I'm going to buy sake at Mashidaya and Yamaoka-ya is becoming a set 🤭.
At the usual restaurant
The third cup was Machida Daiginjo.
It was light and cloudy, but the aroma was apple🍏, banana🍌,
fruit cocktail of apple🍏, banana🍌, and melon🍈.
The sweetness came first, followed by sourness.
It was well-balanced and easy to drink. It was well balanced and easy to drink 😆.
The side dish was grilled chicken thigh with salt.
There were two types of bottles: straight and nigoromi, but I went for the nigoromi!
When I turned the cap, it slowly pusched. 2 times I opened and closed the cap, and the bottle was safely opened.
The aroma was like cotton candy or grape?
When I drank it, it was airy and soggy 🫧 The liquid seemed to unravel into bubbles when I put it in my mouth.
The sourness you feel on the side of your tongue, the riceiness, and maybe grapes. A little bit of koji-like?
I imagined it would be sweeter, but it is surprisingly refreshing and easy to drink.
The next day, I started with the supernatant.
Clear and smooth, not as heavy as expected.
The bubbles are still full of energy, grape and citrus soda 🍹 not much rice. Sourness drifts in with the aroma and tightens up with just the right amount of sharpness. There is a bit of alcohol at the end, a bit of a cackle, but that's okay too.
I like the taste a lot better than I expected on day 2 based on the sensations of day 1.
It has a certain weight and a satisfying, gusty feeling, but it maintains a line that moves along smoothly without sinking too low. I enjoyed it.
Hello Kotaro!
I also had the sealed bottle at a store the other day and the gas pressure was quite high 😁.
I'm curious to see how it goes on the second day, so I'd like to try it at home next time 🥰.
Hi Gyve, ☀️
I saw your review the other day and was happy to see that you also enjoyed it! I was so happy to see your review the other day 🥳It was quite gassy and impactful.
It was delicious even after the second day, so next time we will definitely drink it at home👍🍶.
I bought it at a store I hadn't been to in a while.
I had decided to buy this bottle when I went there because there are not many Machida's sold around here.
The aroma is green apple with a refreshing sourness. It also has a hint of pineapple.
The taste is sweet and tasty with a gaseous sensation.
Pineapple-like sweetness.
Delicious.
