#Sake
Asakai Junmai Ginjyo Nama Genjyo
Easy to drink sweet hand sake.
Full of umami. Good aftertaste.
There are many more sake that are good and unknown to us.
The aroma is nice, with a faint, refreshing ginjo aroma. When I sipped it, it was smooth and easy to drink, just as one would expect from a daiginjo.
However, as a person who prefers the rich rice flavor of junmai ginjo, I think it is a bit lacking.

A little drink after work.
Asakai from Iwate Prefecture, where I've been checking in a lot this month.
It is a sake that has a strong rice flavor and a great sharpness.
It makes me hot!
While waiting at a liquor store in a mall, I found a corner for comparing local liquors and bought a bottle (180 ml).
The wife said it smelled like apple cider vinegar. It tastes like apple cider vinegar.
The taste was smooth and the umami spread out well.
The rice polishing ratio is 70%, so the taste is quite complex.
The acidity comes in later, and it goes down the throat smoothly.
There is not much of a lingering aftertaste.
The impression is that it is an easy-drinking sake.
Summer sake, but now?
Aroma of fluffy rice when you drink it. Slightly rummy.
The taste is calm. Beautiful acidity.
Smooth texture.
A refreshing and refreshing decay.
Taste level 3.5/5
Iwate is a sake production area known for its Nanbu Toji.
Following "Nanbu Bijin," we drank "Asa Kai Junmai Sake: Kuraberu Series," a cold brew of Nanbu tradition.
It is a "dry junmai-shu with flavor" that has a strong original taste of rice.
The one that's deeply delicious.
Slight aroma, smooth attack. It has a full-bodied, delicious mouthfeel. It goes in smoothly and has a nice sharpness.
I asked for this sake when I heard that a staff member went to Iwate and "bought it". It is indeed delicious 🤣. It is indeed delicious 🤣.
