I think this was the best sake tasting other than Takacho.
It was the most popular among the members of Sake-no-wa 😊.
In the end, we didn't buy any sake, only Nara-zuke (pickles) with Bodaihashi sake lees 😅.
The rest of the drinks I've already had in the past, so I'll give you a quick digest.
Ureshicho
I drank this at the brewer's festival. It is less sweet and more complex than I expected.
Sanomorosugi
I think this one is the easiest to drink out of the 7 varieties, as it has no habits and no pungency. In my postings in the past, I wrote that it was light and easy to drink. Is this the type of Bodhidashi that is popular with everyone?
Takacho
This is the closest type to Bodai-zumi among the 7 types.
It is too different in taste from the other 6 types to be treated in the same category. Personally, I like it the best among the 7 types.
After enjoying the sake festival, we left Shorakuji on the 12:00 bus.
To be continued.
bouken . Hi 😀
I'm so glad I felt the same way 😀
My family discussed with Kaorin and we brought home three of them, Takacho-san, Mimuro-sugi-san and Yatagarasu-san 😀.
Hi Yasubeyesan 😃
I'm so relieved to see someone with the same opinion 😊I would have bought something if I was going back home, but I thought I'd rather not have more luggage since I'm moving to Kyoto 😅.
Thanks for the sake festival report, bouken!
All Bodhidashi is still very attractive! I will refer to your thoughts on sake tasting 🙏 before I die (lol) I would love to go if I get the chance 🚌.
The last drink is also a fine drink.
Yatagarasu no Shizuku-shu.
I was too drunk to remember the taste. I am sorry.
It must have been delicious.

Fruity
Sweetness and acidity.
I was going to drink it chilled in summer, but I opened it at this time of the year.
Maybe it is better to drink it in a glass like a wine.
Sake level -4
I bought it on the recommendation of the lady at the Kitaoka main store 😄It was fresh when I opened the bottle! The sweetness and richness increases as the day goes by, and I can't stop guzzling it 🤤.
soft sweetness
Aroma reminiscent of lactic acidity and sourness. The refreshing mouthfeel is followed by a mild sweetness that finishes with a lingering aroma of steamed rice-like aroma.
★★★★
Sake wholesaler's warehouse specials
Mild aroma. The color is considerably more yellow.
A little sweetness is followed by a heavy flavor. It is a strong sake, but there is little lingering aftertaste due to the alcohol.
It goes well with deep-fried mackerel coated with potato starch and marinated in sweet and spicy acid.
It is a sake that can also be used with grilled meat with sauce.
A sake with a strong flavor that pushes for umami.
If the way to match it is sashimi or dashi type, it loses.
It is a sake for drinkers who like strong flavors.
I would like to match it with a strong dish like chicken nanban.
Nara Prefecture, first time for me. Sake from Yoshino.
We got it out of the refrigerator at our hotel.
It's very clear and dry.

Taste 3.0
Yamanokami Yeast is a yeast isolated from the flowers of sasa lilies in the sacred area of the Ojin Shrine. This yeast was given to us by the god of sake.
The aroma of acidity is like cream, cheese, or yogurt. There is also a hint of cemedine.
The color is slightly yellow. Dry and acidic with little sweetness. The kind that makes you want sashimi 🐟.
The mouthfeel is silky - the next day the hit is rounded.

Purchased at a liquor store in the village

Cup sake brewed in cedar barrels. The water color is slightly golden.
There is no hint of cedar in the nose, but it is faint on the palate... Aroma of cedar?
The taste is good. First there is acidity, then white grape aroma.
It is gradually rich in flavor, and the final taste is bitter and cuts off quickly to set the meal on its feet.
A little sweetness and a touch of bitterness added to pineapple and peach. Refreshing taste. Low alcohol but very drinkable.
When the temperature rises a little, it becomes refreshingly sweet.
