This is my first time to try this sake.
I'm sure Masamune hunters know about it, but I still haven't learned enough about it.
As the label says, the sweetness and acidity blend well together, yes, this is indeed ayu (sweetfish)! Ayu is sweet, but salty and delicious 😋I don't know if the name or the image comes first, but it is 👍ayu!
Good evening, Kosuke!
Hello, I'm Masamune Hunter 😁I know of course about Ayu Masamune 😌.
I thought it was a great review with a great eye for a sake called Ayu as a sweetfish itself ❗️ ✨.
Hiro-san, I always enjoy seeing your work.
I am honored by your compliments.
It seems that I like spring-fermented sake, and the Shoninzawa from Juichi-Masamune was delicious. This is the home of Jay and Nobi Sensei.
Golden Week Car Overnight Stay From Minamiuonuma City via Tsunan Town, we arrived at an atmospheric thatched warehouse.
While listening to various stories, we were allowed to drink the brewing water that springs from inside the brewery.
The water was sweet, soft, and clean, and it would definitely make delicious sake!
This sake is low in alcohol and has a very pleasant, elegant sweetness and acidity, like a dessert wine.
Once you start drinking it, you will not stop.
We enjoyed it very much 👍
I bought it at the brewery.
(My thoughts on the drink)
This sake is limited to 400 bottles once a year. It is a rare sake given to me by an important person.
It is colorless and transparent. The top aroma is of melon and lychee. When you put it in your mouth, you will not feel a chattering sensation on your tongue. The acidity does not come first, and the elegant sweet and sour flavor spreads down the throat. The well-balanced, clean flavor of the sake is pleasant. You can tell that the sake has been carefully brewed. As it nears room temperature, a sweetness begins to emerge. It tastes similar to Hyakko Betsuatsurai. 500ml is a small bottle, so I will drink it slowly and savor it.
Two weeks after opening the bottle, the thickness of the body became a little thinner and it moved to the position of "full-bodied, slightly sweet". In any case, it is still a sake suitable for a mealtime drink.

Yesterday at work, I received this from a junior colleague from Joetsu. Thank you 😊.
When I visited Joetsu City and Kasuga Mountain on GW4, I couldn't tell my wife and son that I wanted to stop by a liquor store😅, especially I couldn't get any sake from the Joetsu area.
I was able to get some "kanzuri sakadori" as a side dish. I will pair it with cream cheese.
I am very happy to have it in such a background.
It is characterized by a refreshing acidity and a slightly sweet flavor.
It is a good sake👍.
