Murray Yu Summer
Usually mellow. Last year, when we made a summer sake with a strong acidity, we got a lot of returns saying "Is it spoiled? We heard that there were a lot of returns! So this year we went the clean route.
Yes, it is clean and clear, but I don't like it! It's clean and clear, but I don't hate it!
It's not fruity either!
Not too spicy, with a hint of sweetness.
Mild on the palate! Not so refreshing at the end, but I think it was refreshing after swallowing!
I wonder if it was fruity as I continue to drink it! I also think it was fruity!
It was very sweet when paired with hamo! Umayumayumayumayumayumayumayumayumayum!
Murayu
Yeah this! Thick! My favorite one!
Maybe it's not quite tropical...
Is it white or tropical? Not quite keg...somewhere between keg and tropical?
I was surprised to see that this one is a more transparent glass! I thought it was a summer sake glass!
Is there a slight spiciness? I guess it's different from tropical!
It's not thick and sweet! I guess it's a non-habitual sweetness with a clean tangle at the end!
The aroma is not strong, and the wine is clear and colorless.
Sourness spreads in the mouth.
The aftertaste is clean, with a slight alcohol taste.
A little bit of alcohol is felt, but it is not unpleasant.
The acidity is just right for summer.

Madamarr! The second in the series of "Is this company going to serve summer sake?
I was so surprised when I found it at a liquor store. That hard-edged, heavy-bodied, umaguchi Murayusan is ☀️ the Nanamera label of summer raw sake. The moment I found it, I stood in line at the cash register (as I have done several times in the past).
As I said the other day with Mr. Noriguchi, the first attack on the palate is that of summer sake. It's crisp and clear, even though it's that Murayu (maximum praise).
I am really enjoying summer sake this year. We will have to choose soon, but please be patient.
