I bought it at a convenience store for half price, 554 yen, so I decided to use it as a cooking sake. It has a gentle sweetness and a refreshingly strong acidity. The aftertaste is dry, crisp, and easy to drink. The alcohol taste comes later, but it is not harsh. It's not too harsh though, so it's easy to drink. Production date: March 2023 Close date: February 13, 2024

Gekkeikan Corporation, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, Japan Gekkeikan Chatty Whale Nama Sake I drink only local sake, but I wanted to try a major sake once in a while. I picked up a bottle with a cute label. It is unpretentious and tasty enough for everyday drinking. The image I had of the really old days was of a sticky, sweet taste, but today's sake is really well made and completely different. It is also cosmetically pleasing, and I have changed my mind about it.

Brand Name] Gekkeikan Nama-Shu Shiboritate Dry Sake Brewer] Gekkeikan Co. Kind of sake] Normal sake (Nama-shu) Type of Sake] Normal Sake (Nama-Shu) [Rice] Domestic Rice, Domestic Rice Koji Rice Polishing Ratio] Undisclosed (Normal Sake Standard) Alcohol content] Less than 14-15 degrees Celsius Sake Cup】Tasting Glass Aroma] +1.5 (green apple, muscat, steamed rice) Appearance] Crystal [Taste] [Mouthfeel Body: 1.5 Acidity: 2.0 (malic acid predominant, lactic acid also strong) Sweetness: 1.0 Umami: 1.5 Bitterness: 1.0 Lingering: Short, sharp when chilled, full-bodied with lactic acidity as the temperature rises. Impression] Light and dry with umami. I tasted it at home after sneaking it home from the hotel. The sharp malic acid from the cold flavor acid and the soft richness from the lactic acid coexist in the same bottle, making it a light and dry sake that looks great cold. Although it is a regular sake, it has a fruity aroma and lightness like a ginjo sake, making it an excellent everyday sake. It is also interesting to note the change in acidity as the temperature changes. The cold acidity seems to be an organic acid originally developed by Gekkeikan. This is an idea unique to ordinary sake, and is a pleasure that cannot be found in sake with a specific name. Pairing] Edamame (soybeans), chilled tofu, horse mackerel, grilled fish with salt Repeat Score】1.5

cinchona I was at a ryokan construction project in Hakone. After work, I went to Tenya for the first time in about a year due to various reasons. It has been a while since I had tendon, and it was delicious. This Gekkeikan goes well with fried food. Founded in 1597 by founder Jiemon Okura. The company name Gekkeikan was adopted in 1905. The laurel crown was a "symbol of glory" given to the winners of the ancient Olympic Games, and the name was given as a sign of quality and pride. First bottled sake sold in Japan.
