This will be a comment from an amateur drinker. This sake was a wonderful encounter. It is easy to drink, a little spicy, well-balanced and delicious, and has a full flavor that is hard to believe it is junmai. Thank you for another great sake encounter today. I am also thankful for being able to drink it in good health.
Trai!
I received this in my Rigel distribution ✨
Thank you for everything!
Your first Sha Rigel!
The design on the back of the label is a salamander 🦎.
It has a fruity sweetness 🍎🍏🍎.
but the aftertaste is refreshing!
In other words, it's sweet and refreshing and the best 👍
I drank it while playing mahjong 🀄.
I tried a risky tile and got a solid shot 😇.
.
I tried this one too because it was so good!
The rice used for the sake was "Hanasoui" and this is "Akita Sake Komachi".
The taste is similar, but this one has a little more sweetness, umami, and acidity 🤔.
It's hard to say which is better, but this one seems to be my favorite.
Good morning, N.E. 😃
I don't think I've seen Du Lai🏉 before 😳 I googled it and it looks interesting with labels of various animals! I'll give it a try when I see it😙.
Good evening, Jay & Nobby 😆.
I didn't know much about it, but I chose it because of its impact 😅.
It seems that Rokka Sake Brewery, famous for its jyokkari, has shifted to a modern style⁉🙄.
It was quite something 😋.
.
Next, the giant salamander caught my eye 👀... "Du Lai" How do you read this? I was wondering 🤔.
It's called "Torai" 😅.
The taste is refreshing and light 👌.
I'm glad it's different from the image of the giant salamander label 🤣 lol.
Delicious 😋.
It was a nice encounter: 👍️
Day 1, just a little room temperature. Slightly lemony, orangey fruitiness with a delicious flavor that is crisp and clean. Warmed. The fruitiness becomes more orangey, and the umami is more pronounced, though not as strong. The higher the temperature, the stronger the sharpness becomes, but it also gives the impression of being a normal dry sake. Personally, I prefer a lower temperature.
Cold sake on the second day. The aroma is mild and the taste is quite sour with a hint of melon or lemon. The acidity is effective as it is, and it is crisp and sharp.
It is good at any temperature, from chilled to lukewarm, but the acidity is quite strong at chilled or room temperature, so personally, I would say that lukewarm is the best by a narrow margin. It is a highly finished sake with fruitiness and umami, very Tsugaru-like. It also has a nice sharpness. The wide range of temperatures is also a plus.
It is a modern version of jyobari and has evolved to a higher level of perfection. It can be stored at room temperature and is fairly inexpensive for a new brand at 1,650 yen.
Rich sweet and sour nose, apple-like.
The nose has a hint of freshly cut apples and a little bit of citrus.
The sweetness flows quickly and gradually gives way to umami and acidity.
Finally, the bitterness comes in strong and converges.
The alcohol is a little pungent.
Taste: 3.5/5
February is finally over.
As I will be changing workplaces due to personnel changes at the end of the fiscal year, I have only a few more days left at my current workplace.
I will be busy with various things, such as continuing my work and organizing my belongings.
I will continue to drink sake even in the midst of all this.
To Kai's Nigori
The aroma is almost imperceptible.
The mouthfeel has a tangy gasiness, a slight sweetness, and a big umami. The mouthfeel is full of a slight sweetness and a burst of umami, followed by sourness and richness. It is a model of nigori sake. It has a smooth aftertaste with a nice lingering aftertaste, so you can drink it in a heartbeat.
Don't abuse the sake language.
〜How is it that we are in the midst of an employment ice age when it is so hard to find a job?
Thank you very much for your hospitality!
Hello chika 😁
I bought this Morai at a liquor store in Sendai ✌️
One of the two stores that carried it was sold out immediately, so I rushed to the other one 😅.
