Cool and refreshing. It is refreshing and easy to drink. The aroma after drinking is like cucumber. If you want to enjoy it with snacks, I recommend yam and okra salad.
Just out of curiosity. 5% is amazing, that's a lot of beer or shochu high.
What is it? Yogurt-like sweetness and sourness. The sweetness is quite strong, like mirin (sweet cooking rice wine). Well, I don't think this one goes well with it.
EXPO2025 GEKKEIKAN WORLD SAKE Vietnam × Thailand [Gekkeikan, Kyoto
Slightly sweet with a slightly sour mouthfeel. Sense of apple cider vinegar. A lingering bitter taste.
Ingredients: Rice (from Vietnam), Rice Koji (from Thailand)
Alcohol content: 13° to 14
Sweet aroma with some citrus flavor. Tastes citrusy as well. As the label says, sweet and juicy. There is an astringent aftertaste. No residual sweetness, so it is easy to drink. Delicious.
This is the sake I received. It is a junmai-daiginjo with a nice, smooth taste of rice! It is a delicious sake with a delicious rice flavor and smooth taste!
60%, 15-16 degrees.
A refreshing aroma with a hint of acidity on the other side of the round sweetness of rice.
Refreshing mouthfeel with acidity. The flavor of rice lingers on the tongue.
The aftertaste is a little bitter at the back of the throat.
It goes well with meals.
Finally made it to Japan! We are visiting Kyoto first and wanted to make sure we toured at Gekkeikan Ōkura Sake Museum. The tour was brief but very pleasant with a great video on sake production. We tried almost every sake available and they were all very good!
We had to get a bottle of the “retro” style Ginjo. I heard the older style was different and I was very excited to try it. It is sweet in a good way that isn’t overpowering and I wanted to capture the experience by purchasing a bottle.
Literally, it is a sweet sake with a fruit-like feel. Nevertheless, the aftertaste does not linger, and the sharpness of the sake is a quintessential Japanese sake. It is a brand I would definitely like to try again.
