Lunchtime drinking at PARCO's Imadeya (lol).
Although it is not listed as a sake with a specific name, the rice polishing ratio is 50%, so it is in fact a junmai daiginjo.
The aroma is gorgeous, with a fruity melon-like ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is mellow and soft, with a slightly sweet but umami flavor.
The aftertaste is clean and crisp, giving the impression that the sweetness is not dragged down.
We paired it with a rare piece of tuna grilled on a half-skewer, but it did not clash with the flavor of the ingredients and went well with them in an elegant way.
It is easy to drink despite its sweetness, and can be enjoyed on its own or with a meal.

→ Excellent drinkability with a crisp aroma and aftertaste. If it were a little less sweet, I would like it even more.
I can't help but buy it when I see the delicious looking grains of rice...but...!
I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but as the weather gets hotter, I seem to be drinking less and less.
Last year, I saw some but didn't buy it because of the storage space.
This year it was available and I succeeded in taking it home. 🙆♂️
It's a Omine sake, so I'm sure it's delicious!
The slightly hazy haze gives it a cool feeling in this hot and humid weather.
The aroma is very mild.
The aroma is very mild, with elegant fruity notes such as muscat and pear.
In the mouth, the first thing you notice is the full flavor of rice, which is typical of Yamada-Nishiki. ‼️
Elegant sweetness and a hint of acidity. This clear, clean feeling is exactly what you would expect from Omine.
The bitterness that appears in the latter half of the bottle gives it a different atmosphere from the others.
This is a good food sake 😋.
