Zankuro特別純米酒 生酒
taka-saru5
Mellow and dry...
It's not so much mellow as it is refreshing.
But it's not lacking, it's just right.
Some spiciness to follow?
Alcoholic? The "I" is the first word that comes to my mind.
There is almost no bitterness or sourness.
I thought the same thing the last time I drank Zank Zankuro.
I like this.

It's like a dry sake.

A sake brewed by Miyajima Sake Brewery, which brews Shinonokishiki, with sharpness in mind.
It is sharp as it is called "Isagiyoshi".
The acidity is strong, the bitterness is small, and it is clean and crisp.
It is not enough to drink by itself, but it is perfect to accompany a meal.
It goes perfectly with boiled taro.
It is a moment to be glad to be Japanese.

Junmaishu is a junmaishu with a matured flavor.
It has a more mature taste than the same brand, Mujirushi, but the rice polishing ratio is 80% here, so it is a bit heavy.
Mujirushi has a better balance, which I prefer.
Of course, we enjoyed this one as a heated sake as well.

I love all the sake from this brewery because they all have an aged flavor.
This one has the right amount of acidity to give it that aged feel, and it's great as a heated sake. For me, it's best lukewarm.
The price is about 2100 yen for a bottle, so it's the best value.
Unfortunately, I can't find it anywhere near my house. I think I'll buy a lot next time I'm in the Nagano area.

Shigeto Hori
A simple sake with a good taste of rice, a sense of sake and a moderate sharpness. This is a good sake to drink while eating.

We drank both the raw sake and the hiyaoroshi. We couldn't tell the difference, but it was delicious!

The aroma is mild, with a hint of orange.
At the first touch, the flavor of the rice and the delicate aroma spread to the mouth.
The second half is dry and crisp, making it very addictive.
It is a versatile type that can be drunk on its own or with food. Delicious!

We've been in Suwa lately.
I'm going to try a different area!
I bought this bottle because of the name.
The owner explained that it was from a stubborn sake brewer.
Zankuro", a novel name!
"Zanshireiji", what does it mean?
Rice polishing ratio 61%.
Alcohol content 16 degrees
When you take a sip, it will hit you hard.
It is a full-bodied dry sake.
There is no roundness or fruity feeling.
But as you drink it, a refreshing sweetness comes through.
It's so good!
This is what I mean when I say it's clean!

Another brand of Shinanonishiki from Miyajima Sake Shop
80% Polished Miyamanishiki, 1 year sleep of Yamahai
The acidity stands out like Yamahai, but it is not persistent.
It is dry, but when the temperature rises, you can feel the sweetness like a dried persimmon.
It's light for a Yamahai, so it's good to drink in summer, and it's interesting to let it sit longer.
It has a lot of umami, so it goes well with Japanese food.
Tonight, I'll have it with grilled seaweed...

Rice polishing ratio 91% of the wonder. This is why it is called "Kunoichi".
Alcohol 16°.
I've had other brands that were 90% polished, but I think they were hard to drink.
I bought it thinking, "What kind of low-polished rice is that?
It's delicious!
The rice is full of flavor. The taste is good too. But at the end, I felt a fruity aroma coming through my nose.
No sourness is felt.
The label says that it is cut and clean. But I felt that the aftertaste left a little fluffy in my mouth.

This Zankuro's name has an impact.
The power of the character "Zan" is amazing.
The aroma that rises is a faint apricot-like scent and alcohol.
When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the sweetness and the umami of the rice that seems to coat the fresh acidity that is typical of nama-shu.
It does not feel fizzy.
The taste of the rice is quite soft but firm.
And the bitterness comes out.
In the second half, you feel the spiciness and it slashes through.
At first, it has a little nuance like apricot wine or Shaoxing wine.
But overall, it is a good sake with a strong taste of rice.
It is not just the sharpness that makes it a mellow dry sake.
I thought that the bitterness and spiciness of the latter half would make you feel unbalanced from the soft impression of the umami taste in the beginning, but
But it is not such a thing at all, and is harmonized well.
It is delicious.
I just want to use the word "zan" 😅.
Such a sake.
Taste level 85 points

It is a light amber Junmai-shu brewed with the fantastic sake rice "Kinmon Nishiki". The aroma is cemedine...sweet and bitter with a hint of bitterness! It's dry, so it goes well with thickly seasoned food. For beginners, it is not recommended...? I've been drinking it with bonito sashimi with silver skin...
