I think my favorite sake from Kyoto is Sawaya Matsumo or Jyuseki. Jyuseki is my favorite and gives me a sense of calmness and peacefulness. As the days get hotter and hotter, it is time to enjoy the last sake I brought back from Kyoto!
The aroma is of fresh apples. The aroma is of refreshing apples, which attracts beginners and experts alike. The water is a different type of silky soft water from Aomori. It is a smooth brewing water without the unique sweetness and viscosity of the Aomori water. The fresh and spectacular sweetness and acidity of apples and Japanese pears that come out of this water. The person I drank it with said it was "festive. When you swallow it with the lingering aftertaste, you will notice a dry, lingering sensation in your throat, and here you will notice the sharpness for the first time.
It has been a long time since I have had a sake that has felt so comfortable in my body. I have had many bottles of Towashi, but this quality and satisfaction is in the Hall of Fame. Thank you again for this evening!
Jyuseki Celebration, Junmai Ginjo
The aroma is not very strong.
It smells like cream cheese or sour cream.
The sweetness of the rice spreads softly on the palate and then disappears.
It has a strong sense of alcohol and the umami of rice.
Fresh Summer
The aroma is reminiscent of the fresh sourness of green apples. The clean mouthfeel reveals a fresh and refreshing sweet and sour taste. The same hint of fragrance rises as the top shelf and is quickly followed by a tangy, spicy, sweet, and bitter taste.
Refreshing and easy to drink, it is a perfect summer sipper. Of course, it can also be enjoyed during the current season.

I drank a bottle of Jyuseki at a restaurant in Fushimi. It was too delicious. So I went to Matsuyama Sake Brewery later that day! I bought some spring and summer seasonal sake at the direct sales counter!
Let's start with the spring one!
The aroma is relatively mild, not sure if it is fruity or not, but it has a ripe sweet aroma. The clear brewing water, typical of Fushimi, gives way to a sweetness and richness reminiscent of bananas. And the slight sharpness is very nice.
I think that Jyuseki is a sake that can be enjoyed as a next step after the fruity sake that beginners seem to like.
I would like to thank the Matsuyama Sake Brewery for their hospitality this time, and thank you again for the delicious sake we enjoyed this evening!
