Purchased at a liquor store in Takayama City.
This time it is super dry. The aroma is almost nutty.
When you put it in your mouth, you can taste a little sourness and the strong alcohol (20 degrees) gives you a refreshing feeling characteristic of light dry sake.
Hidahomare 40% polished. Purchased at the brewery.
It has less intense sweetness and aroma than the nama-shu, but has a similar umami and lingering taste when drunk.
The Junmai Daiginjo was also opened.
The color is subdued, but the aroma is thicker and sweeter than that of Junmai-Daiginjo.
In the mouth, the sweetness of the rice was stronger than the acidity, and the sweetness spread even though the sake was dry, probably because it was also a nama-shu.
I had the luxury of comparing three bottles of the same brand, but when you can see such a difference even in the same brand, you can understand the depth of junmai sake.
I bought it from a roadside station or a supermarket where it was sold in a single-bottle. The brewery only had a four-unit bottle.
I drank it after drinking the special junmai.
The color is darker than the Junmai, and the smell is a little stronger.
The sweetness in the acidity has increased, making it even easier to drink.
The 11th sake brewery in Gifu Prefecture.
This is the main brand of Hirase Sake Brewery, one of the seven breweries in Takayama City.
We purchased this sake at the brewery during the Hida-Takayama Nobei Matsuri (Sake Festival).
We purchased Junmai and Junmai Daiginjo, and Junmai Ginjo later at a roadside station.
When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a sweetness similar to melon after the sourness.
A free solo trip for adults spent slowly at Kai Okuhida 🥹.
One of the brands we had for dinner was ✨️
It was a gem with a soft, smooth aroma and full flavor brewed only with Yamadanishiki rice and rice malt. 🙆♀️
Good evening, juju!
I see you had a solo trip to Okuhida in June 🎵.
It's nice to travel alone and take it easy 🚃.
I used to travel alone a lot when I was younger and I wish I had known about sake back then 😁✨.
