boukenPurchased at Hankyu's traveling SAKE as well as Tamayura.
The rice is Takananishiki. It has a slight gasiness.
The top aroma is gorgeous, but the sweetness is moderate and a little dry. The lingering aroma is pineapple.
The sake is basically dry with a sake meter of +4, but the gasiness and sweetness of the sweetness didn't bother me too much. ねむちHankyu Umeda Main Store, 9th Traveling SAKE (3)
Kikusui seems to be the brewery that revived Takananishiki, a rice suitable for sake brewing.
Kikusui Junmai Haru Hitohira
This is a spring sake made from Takananishiki. It is a spring sake made from Takane-nishiki, and is good as a food sake, spreading smoothly on the palate with the unique bitter and dark taste of Takane-nishiki.
Junmai Ginjyo Saru-Ko no Izumi
Fruity aroma, mild acidity, umami, and bitterness.
Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjyo Oikan Shibori
The flavor is rich and robust, just the way you like it. Made with Takananishiki. Takananishiki is the parent of Miyamanishiki, a very old variety.
Junmai Namahashidashi Original Kazakoshi
This is a junmai brand. It is refreshing and easy to drink. It is not so impressive though. It is said to be delicious when heated.
Honjozo Katsudo Nigori Shiraki Tenryu
A nigori type of Tenryu. Creamy and a little sweet. The final taste is bitter and cohesive.
There are many brands and they seem to be scattered all over the place, so they are going to brand and consolidate them eventually.
I have had a Kambara made with Takananishiki, but it has the same unique taste. It has a full-bodied, dark umami and sweet bitterness. boukenThe 9th traveling SAKE9
This is the brewery that revived Takananishiki.
They have been here for tasting and sales before, but I have never had it.
I drank the following
Junmai Haru Hitohira
A refreshing, slightly fragrant, spring-like sake!
Junmai Ginjo Sarukono-Izumi
This was quite tasty. The cup sake with a yuru-kyara label said this is what was inside. It's a cosy cup of sake.
Junmai Ginjo Nama Genjozo Oikan Shibori
I like it because it's quite sweet and tasty. I bought it 😊.
Honjozo Katsudo Nigori Sake Shiraki Tenryu
It's a very tight and shiny sake. It has sweetness, but I think it has a strong alcohol taste. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
