The aroma is mild, as is typical of junmai sake.
However, when you take a sip, you can feel sweetness and acidity filling your mouth, and the taste is fresh and juicy.
I was surprised at the taste of this standard junmai hi-ire sake.
I would like to keep a bottle of this sake on hand.
I have wanted to drink Wakanami for a long time.
The taste was beyond my expectations.
5.0 / 5.0
CHUIN SASHIDURI (celebrating Hirupeko's passing of SAKE DIPLOMA) ⑤.
The SAKE club is held at chuin on the second Saturday of every month with a specific theme.
We were able to order the leftover sake from the most recent "Tasting Sake with Added Brewing Alcohol" event, so this was the second sake of the regular sake that we received with respect to Hirupeko-san.
Wakanami's regular sake.
It seems to be sold only locally.
I have never seen this before at Kadoya-san (I have to say I have never been to Kadoya-san that often 😅).
The appearance is a slightly pale yellow-green crystal.
The aroma is sweet with a hint of koji and sourness, which is typical of sake, but sweeter.
It has a strong, strong flavor, and my first impression was that it would go well with Fukuoka cuisine, where people like their food and soy sauce a little sweet.
It has a firm sweetness with a hint of koji and complexity that is typical of regular sake, but it also has a sharpness that leaves it feeling flat.
It was the kind of sake I would like to drink with a glass of sesame mackerel with dinner 🐟🍶.
It has a strong flavor and aroma even though it is a regular sake," said the owner, Mr. Kawada! When I said to the owner, Mr. Kawada (who had tried many things that day and was feeling drunk), "It's mellow! It's a pure sake 😁" 😅
Oops Aladdin-san! It's "Hirupeko" not "Hirupeko's". ㊗️ regulars have been friends since we happened to be paired up at a sake tasting training session 😊 Oh, I forgot to drink Wakanami 😅.
Good morning, Hirupeko 😃.
Japanese is a difficult language 😁 it may be the world's No. 1 language when it comes to fluffing things up 😆.
I don't think you drank Wakanami 😅I thought it was a dark regular sake and delicious and I might have wanted you to try it 😌.
Akita Purchased at a liquor store
The other day, I went to Akita for the first time in a while because I had a rare 2-day weekend for my work.
There I bought a couple of sake from Akita, Harukasumi and Wakanami 😅 not related to Akita.
But I had never had Wakanami before, and there was no store near me that sold it...
I asked the liquor store for a recommendation and chose this Yamadanishiki.
Nice to meet you Wakanami Brewery!
I opened the bottle right away 🍶 and it tastes great 😋!
The aroma is a little subdued, with a little gasiness and umami when you drink it, and a dry aftertaste and a little bitterness that is very delicious. ☺️
It has a clear and distinct flavor image and tastes great after the first sip! But it also has a clean aftertaste! 😆
I can't stop drinking this 🍶.
I personally think it's a taste that sticks out to my taste buds 🤔I wonder if there are any more stores near me that carry it? I'd like to find a place that carries it and try some of the others 😄.
Thank you very much for the food!
I was hesitant because of the price... but the clerk who treats me well told me it was the best of the year 🍶... I bought it immediately 😆.
Melon type
It's not as piquant as Wakanami's Jungin, but the flavor is better.
No bitterness in the finish and the Yamadanishiki lingers and disappears 🫥.
It's delicious 😋😋.
Jungin Omachi
Sweetness. It is moderately juicy, but the juiciness typical of Wakanami is restrained. The ripples of sweetness are gentle. Good mid-palate flavor. 86 points.
Sweetness: 2.6
Acidity: 3
Dryness:2.5
Hinted aroma:2.7
Junmai Ginjo Omachi
Distant, really distant bitterness, but gentle sweetness is the first impression.
There is also a sweetness of rice and a sourness that may keep you from getting tired of drinking it.
I love it 110 points ♥
