Souei Sake Brewery in Ichikai-machi
I've seen it rather often, but this is my first time to drink it.
Polishing ratio 60%, special A district Yamadanishiki 15 degrees, Sake degree +4 to +5
1870 yen
It is light but has a strong flavor and is delicious!
I would like to try various specs of Souhyo.
It's been a while since I bought some sake today. At Imadeya in Kinshicho PARCO.
A four-pack of sake costs about 1,800 yen. Under 2,000 yen for a bottle with this taste is a pretty good price.
The aroma is subdued and the mouthfeel is mild. There is no gaseous sensation, and the mouthfeel is classic and calm.
The umami and acidity spread slowly, and the aftertaste is smooth and clean.
Tonight's accompaniments are hamo and baby squid. The three of us quickly found ourselves drinking the entire bottle.
It was a great hit with my father-in-law and his wife.
Hello, Kojikoji 😃.
Imadeya at Kinshicho PARCO! We've been there twice too ‼️ and it's great that you chose Souhyo out of all the great sake 👏!
We hope you had a good dinner with your family 🤗.
It was a delicious sake with a smooth texture with a hint of milkiness, rice flavor, a soft sweetness reminiscent of apples and apricots, and a sharp accent of acidity 😌.
This sake is nice to be drinking at room temperature or even in kansake form. Nice and elegant lactic acid feel with a sense of fresh cheese and yogurt. Smooth texture that blends quite well, can also feel the rice flavours inside with slightly nutty and umami ending. Good pairing with food indeed.
Commentary.
This wine is characterized by a high density of umami as well as firm acidity.
The sweetness and umami characteristic of junmai and the acidity unique to sake brewing are mixed together to produce a rich, full-bodied special junmai sake,
The result is a special junmai sake with a full-bodied flavor.
It is best served cold at 12-15°C (about the temperature of well water),
If you want to warm it up, it is best to warm it up to 45°C.
The flavor is enhanced even more when served cold (12-15°C) or warmed (45°C).
Intense aroma.
Soft taste.
It is sweet but has a light aftertaste.
Versatile flavor with no quirks, easy to pair with anything.

I wanted to drink a reasonably priced local sake at Kinugawa Onsen Hot Springs, so I bought this at a shop! It is very easy to drink with a refreshing and smooth taste.
It was delicious.
