Nitoshi's Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Gojugo Hi. I happened to come across it at a liquor store and bought it.
The aroma is a little sour like white wine. The mouthfeel is the same white wine-like acidity as the aroma, followed by a light to mid-bodied sweetness. Yet, it is not too strong, so it can be fully enjoyed as a stand-alone alcoholic beverage.
The description of the wine as "a balance between two opposites" is understandable.
I was able to purchase this year's Maruishi Brewing Company's Maruishi Day ゙ and was able to purchase the brewery's limited edition Ni-Wolf raw 🎶🤤, which I was looking forward to 🤤The theme this year is "secret" 😉.
It has a slightly amberish color and maybe a slight thickening ❔🤔.
Let's start with the aroma 🎶✨️Ginjo aroma like a gorgeous lychee 🎶✨️🤤.
On the palate, there's a slight chilli🫧 feeling and sourness 🎶😋, then fruity゙, and finally a modest but lingering spiciness 🎶🤤No - it's delicious 😆 this time it can go as a food wine 🎶😉.
It has a firm, punchy quality, with a twin flavor of acidity and umami, and the sweetness was not so strong.
As the label says, this year's Niwolf was low-polished, and the 80%-polished Aizan was made in pursuit of Aizan-ness and Niuzan-ness.
It is not a classic sake, but it is not a modern, sweet and fruity sake.
A gift from my son in Nagoya. Junmai-shu made with only 77% polished Yume-Ginko, Aichi's sake rice. This is a collaboration project between farmer KT, three breweries in Aichi, Maruishi in Okazaki, Gigi in Owari, and Shikishima in Chita. It is interesting to know about Aichi. Like Nitoshi, the aroma is fruity despite being junmai, and the sweetness is strongly felt and tastes good, but depending on the accompaniment, the bitterness may appear. It is refreshing and delicious. It was a wonderful sake.
The first two hares
Only those who chase two hares will get two hares
I didn't know the definition of two hares, and I didn't feel like I got much out of it.
3.9/5.0
It was a close call to open the bottle! This is actually my first Ni-Rabbit. It is slightly effervescent and has a strong sweetness on the palate, but the bitterness and umami soon follow. It is indeed a good balance of the two opposites, the two hares chasing each other!
You can really smell the aroma of rice from the aroma before you drink it.
It is not quite like freshly cooked rice.
The gas pressure is high and it took me 10 minutes to open it.
A lot of high aroma of rice, sweetness of rice is a little above medium? Bubbles at the level of soda water, and a nice sharpness at the end, so this is one of the products I want to buy next time: ✨️✨️✨️
