Murayu Junmai Daiginjo
The previous Murasuke was Junmai, so we compared the two.
This one is also made with wasanbon (Japanese sugar), or is it? It tastes elegant but too sweet...
The next day and every day after that, I drank it with a sake cup, and after a week, it became easier to drink as it lost its sweetness.
I honestly think many people don't like it if they only taste it for one day. I thought it would be better to drink it while enjoying the change little by little every day 🤔.
The ginjo aroma spreads in your mouth the moment you put it in. It is said to have been brewed with the image of wasanbon sugar, and is characterized by its elegant sweetness. It is not too sweet, but has a subtle sourness and bitterness that accentuates the taste.
Preference ★★★★☆
The aroma is subdued.
Condensed, dense, sweet and delicious.
The balance between elegant sweetness and acidity is superb and smooth. The alcohol is also well balanced.
Very tasty.

In 2024, we were able to welcome into our home, a black pin that we drank on New Year's Eve the previous year and were very impressed with!
Raisin-like candied 🍸.
We took good care of it with great care: ☺️
Summer Nama Sake, Aoi Murayu!
At Miyakoya, which I hadn't peeked into for a long time.
Gorgeous, fruity aroma like white peaches,
Mellow mouthfeel,
Smooth, citrusy acidity
and elegant sweetness,
Refreshing bitterness and umami flavor.
The taste is crisp and clean,
It is delicious! I want to drink it in large gulps.
Murayu is really delicious.
And you should walk to the liquor store even if it is a bit far. Because you can do a tasting on a moment's notice...!
Aoi Sake Brewery (formerly Takahashi Sake Brewery) is a new sake brewery in Nagaoka, created this year as a result of a business succession. I wanted to try a new brand of sake brewed by a new female brewer, but the price was 5,500 yen for a four-pack, which I couldn't afford at the Sake-no-jin (a sake camp) because of the charge for tasting. Thank goodness I was allowed to sample it at a store I am familiar with!
I hope to drink it one day. I hope they continue to do well in Niigata.

★★★★☆
It has a slightly lighter impression than Murayu, which has a sweet image.
It has a fine acidity,
The sweetness is gentle and transparent like Wasanbon.
It has a smooth and beautiful finish.
Delicious!
4/5 stars for my favorite!
Compared with Akane label which I drank a while ago.
It has a sweeter taste and is good for a food sake that is easy to drink without any peculiarities. ☺️
Personally, I prefer Akane.
I think both are very good when paired with cheese🙆

It was very sweet in the mouth and refreshing at the end.
At first I was confused by the sweetness, but once I got used to it, I really enjoyed it!
When paired with Pocky, the initial sweetness was less noticeable, but that was also good.
A sake I would buy again!
