This sake has a tangy, spicy mouthfeel, a light sweet taste, and a slight animal smell, which is what normal sake is all about.
For me, it is a delicious sake.
Purchased at Koga, a roadside station.
The texture was a little heavy and wet on the tongue. When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the spicy flavor. The sharp taste in the mouth makes you think you are drinking sake.
It is a good sake. I really like this one.
I am always happy to have this sake for dinner.

The first taste is sweet and fruity, with a slightly complex finish.
The toji (master brewer) is Mr. Tsutomu Umezawa, a Nanbu toji (master brewer). Mr. Umezawa trained at Asakai before joining Nomura Brewery.

I thought that there would be a lot of XX beauty if I look for it 🤔.
There seems to be a French restaurant attached to the brewery!
I found out that the regular junmai ginjo has a more classic label.
This one seems to be a modern type named "Grand", so I wonder if they are making a modern label?
This sake won the Platinum Award at the 2017 KURAMASTER Sake Competition

Fruity and sweet but a little strange?
Maybe the taste of Senhime is still in the boar's mouth😅.
I forgot to take a picture, so I borrowed Nemuchi's picture.
Slightly yellowish and clear, it has aromas of jasmine, pear, and honeysuckle. The attack is rather strong, with firm acidity, moderate sweetness and a rather long finish.
The flavor retention is very good. After the sake is on the tongue, the flavor spreads quickly and you can enjoy the aftertaste.
Keep your hand on the cup until the aftertaste disappears.
Homecoming Series (6)
This is the third bottle of the New Year's Eve series.
It is a local Ibaraki sake, Tsumugibijin from Nomura Brewery, Yamahai special junmai sake.
I bought it because I saw this brand's Yamahai for the first time in a store.
For a Yamahai sake, it gives the impression of being smooth and refreshing. The aroma is restrained and the taste is dry, with a firm alcohol taste and the umami of rice.
I tried it warmed, and it went well with strong flavored meals such as pickles and kinpira.
We were not sure which rice was used as the ingredient, which was a bit disappointing. I wish they would be more aware of the terroir.
Since the price was around 1,400 yen, I opened the bottle with high expectations, but I think it will be even more delicious with more umami after aging for about 1.5 years.

Got 2 bottles 6 months ago at a very low price.

I'll go bankrupt if I don't have this kind of sake on hand 💸.
Let's see what cheap sake we can find next time ⁉️🥹💖
