I was very relaxed when this sake was served blind, probably because I have had it many times in the past and I like it.
The aroma is fresh and fruity. The taste is clean and refreshing, with a beautiful acidity and a moderate sweetness. It contains a little carbon dioxide gas, and the cool, slightly effervescent feeling is also very pleasing. The clear, transparent taste with little clutter, which is typical of Ihyakumangoku, combined with moderate umami and bitterness, makes it a good match with meals.
Repeat Score: 2.5
I forgot to take a picture.
I haven't had a drink since a long time ago when the topic was defending and breaking up. I forgot about that time...
I guess it is a little sour, but this is delicious.
My personal opinion is that the people who make sake are making delicious sake with conviction. I think there are many conflicts and things that happen in the process, but as an outsider, I feel cold toward them or have a negative image of them.
The same goes for Tenbi.
I lose my desire to buy. I'm sorry!
But this one is more classic, well-balanced, and delicious.
It is soft and light on the palate.
I recommend this Fushimi sake first in Kyoto. On this day, it was Junmai.

Gion Festival Yoiyama (2)
Fushimi is the Shinto shrine of Fushimi Inari
It has nothing to do with Gion-san, but you can't leave out Kyoto's sake.
By the way, people in Rakuchu (the sacred area of Gion Festival) say that Fushimi is not Kyoto😅.
We had hamo (conger eel) shabu soup with "tama-fu" from Fuya To (Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture) on the top!
and eat it!
This is really the best!
Yumya~!
I found Sawaya Matsumoto at a local liquor store after a long time. The package is different from usual. It is a junmai that is not a "mamoru-ba-ri" (a pure rice wine). I was attracted to it. The overall aroma is light, but the sweetness, umami, and acidity make the taste more intense. It has a different taste from the slightly fizzy feeling of Moribari.
Tonight was a beer & sour day because we had dinner at a beach house. But I still want to drink sake! So I finished off the day with this. It brought back the excitement of the first time I drank it. The slight gas is the best. It has a great flavor and sweetness, but at the same time it is light and delicate!
It was slightly effervescent when just uncorked. The rice polishing ratio is undisclosed and there is no specific name, but I think it might be Junmai Daiginjo.
Explanation by the brewer
Ultra" because the rice is grown in a different dimension.
The Tojo area is divided into three areas: Kami-Tojo, Midori-Tojo, and Shimo-Tojo, and only "Yamadanishiki" rice harvested in the contract-grown rice fields of Kami-Tojo is used for brewing.
