Masaaki Sapporo
8.5 points (Wife: 8.5 points) Rice: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Fukuoka Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 15
Purchased from Yamasho Sake Shop (Sapporo, Japan)
When opened
Almost no gas
Slightly banana with a slight overtone of rice malt
The same gentle aroma as the first sip, full rice flavor and moderate sweetness spreads with a thin acidity, and it finishes with a little bitterness and alcohol spiciness.
It is well-balanced with a strong sense of rice flavor and goes well with meals, and is of course delicious on its own as well.
It goes well with leek soba noodles, Kamakoe's kamaboko, and Ueda-ya's beef stew.

Recently, I often try sake from Kyushu, thinking that it might be good. This time, I tried Fukuoka's Wakanami, and let's see how it goes!
The aroma is subdued, but has both a slightly fruity apple flavor and a chemical, ramune-like aroma. The slightly gaseous and tangy brewing water gives off a refreshing gaseous sensation, a rich banana-like sweetness, and a rummy chemical taste, with umami and a slight sourness clinging to it. Personally, I felt it was similar to Shinshu Kamerei. Thank you again for the sake!
P.S.
Recently, I think that drinking Jyushiyo Shinsei Jikin at home is a dream come true!

Repeat drink after last year 🍶.
I bought it immediately without hesitation 😍.
A little bit of juiciness
A fistful of omachi character 🤛.
Such a rich start but quick pull 😳
Wakanami's stability is wonderful 🥹.
I enjoyed it this year too 🙏.

The last of (6) at CHUIN over the past day.
A cup of tears 🍶.
This is a series of sake that seems to be drunk but in fact has never been drunk.
Wakanami Honjozo.
The concept of Wakanami is "the pushing wave of taste and the trailing wave of aftertaste.
The goal is to create a sake with a taste that pushes in and a lingering aftertaste that recedes quickly, inviting you to feel as if you are drifting on a gentle wave.
Wakanami Honjozo has a spectacular history, having won first and second prizes in the Ginjo and Honjozo categories of the Fukuoka Prefecture Sake Competition three times 🏆.
The appearance is a very pale silver crystal.
It has a mild and honest sweetness.
Beautiful isoamyl acetate with melon, banana, and juicy.
Slightly milky nuances.
The rice aroma is not that apparent.
Comes in smoothly.
Modest sweetness and rounded acidity spread out without any tugging at all.
The light attack of the alcohol is refreshing and pleasant, and the flavor is well rounded with just the right amount of umami.
The lingering finish is medium short with a good tightness of bitterness.
I personally like sake with flavor, and would like to have a bottle of this sake at home and drink it slowly and messily 🍶.
It was an intoxicating sake that I can see why it enjoys great support.
Thank you very much for the drink 😊.
I wish Kawada-san a speedy recovery.

Wakanami Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki / 2024 Tojo Yamadanishiki.
This is the third and final season of Junmai Ginjo Tojo Yamadanishiki, which is released as a limited edition sake on July 3, Wakanami Day, to commemorate the brewery's 100th anniversary. We were able to get a bottle in time and brought it to my in-laws' house in Kagoshima to be uncorked.
It has a refreshing aroma like muscat, and when you take a sip, the fruity and powerful sweetness typical of Tojo Yamada-Nishiki surges in like a powerful ocean wave label. On the other hand, the aftertaste has a nice bitterness that gives it a sharp edge.
This is a delicious bottle that truly expresses the push of the flavor and the pull of the lingering aftertaste that the brewery is known for!

YSTJ, good evening 🌜I am jealous because I would like to drink Wakanami! Kagoshima is a shochu area, so people tend to think that people don't drink sake, but if you bring sake, they will be very happy 😌.

Good evening, Termat😌.
My father-in-law is exactly the kind of person who grew up with potato shochu, so he was happy to enjoy the sake that I drink from time to time! Wakanami is a delicious sake that is very drinkable 😆 Please give it a try!

It has a bitter taste like grapefruit peel, rice flavor and sweetness.

Excellent aroma in the mouth.
Strange that it doesn't have much body for an Omachi (maybe because it's from Fukuoka Prefecture?).
A little sourness? It also has a little sourness, which is also good.
A pleasant umami flavor remains for a long time.

Hi, ma-ki-😊.
I can't buy it in my neighborhood, so my son bought it for me when he went to Fukuoka 😁.
I got this one in the spring and it was too good to drink 😊.
