This sake was given to me by a friend because it is reasonably priced and delicious. It has a mild aroma and a delicious taste of rice. When drunk chilled, it has a strong sweetness, and when heated, you can taste the umami of the rice. It can be enjoyed with a variety of meals.
Yamadanishiki is used for the koji rice and Gohyakumangoku for the premium rice. It has a soft texture and a subtle fruity flavor that is typical of Junmai Daiginjo.
I bought it because it won the gold medal in the heated sake contest. It was a modest sake in every way, and it was "the" heated sake for eating. Umami, acidity, sweetness, maybe half of Shinkame? It may be similar to Niigata sake.
It's Christmas Eve🎄 and I wanted to open a nigori, so I ransacked the fridge👀.
I found 2 bottles each of Yaegaki's new sake in stock at Icoma Sake Shop, so I bought a bottle of Nigori 😁.
It's 65% polished rice and 2200 yen including tax!
It didn't spurt up and was slightly bubbly. Slightly sweet and a little dry. Sourness and a slightly strong alcohol taste at the end. Seems to be better as a mealtime drink than as a stand-alone alcoholic beverage.
Melon-like at best, but a little more cemedine 🤔.
I think Yaegaki should lower the pricing a little more, as they are all very aggressively priced for their recognition 🙄.
MerryXmas🎅🎄, bouken!
The label color is perfect for Xmas, and I like that it's cloudy and bubbly ✨I think you'll like the taste too 😅I was curious and googled it, and you're right, it's pricey 😅.
Ponchan MerryXmas🎅🦌.
I didn't particularly care for it, but it's green and Christmasy 😁.
But I feel that the alcohol taste is too strong and pungent for some people 🤔.
bouken, it's easier to drink now 👍It was worth the wait 😊Nagori type is easy to turn into something new, so even if it's not great on the first day, I'm still smiling 😁.
