Today, I went to a distant liquor store in the morning, and since I was down in the dumps after striking out on Jizokawa and Shinsei, I went to my usual famous sake store in the evening or so to regain my spirits and pick out some mellow sake: 😮💨
I told them that I wanted a refreshing, unpasteurized sake like Drunken Whale or Tedorigawa, and they recommended this one: ❗️ Nice to meet you, Mr. Zama🐎!
Let's start with the aroma: ❗️
I don't think the aroma is that strong this time either. I don't have a stuffy nose or anything, but I think it's just a little sweet. It's not too sweet, but it doesn't spread well in a wide-mouthed boar cup.
Now a sip ❗️🍶🐎
Oh, it's delicious! Delicious❗️ juicy sweetness that is typical of a fresh sake with a nice clean cut aftertaste❗️It's quite a bit sweeter than I thought it would be, but it's just plain delicious❗️
It might be perfect because it's the kind of rhum juicy that I like and has a clean aftertaste😍It's so easy to drink that if I had tomorrow off, I'd open it for sure❗️🍶I prioritize brands I've never had, but my encounter with this 🍶 made up for this morning...it's on repeat🍶. ❗️
Good morning, Mr. Yoshiyoshi 😃!
I was rejected by Jigokin and Shinsei at a liquor store far away from here 😢 but I'm glad to find a good one near here 🤗Samma genuine! I took a note 📝!
Kansai Sake-no-wa Year-End Party 2024⑮
I had only had one bottle of Seikyuu Sama, and I had never seen the black label.
It was a sake brought in by Uma Uma Uma.
It was a Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki.
A little gassy and a little light on the palate. It is clear and fresh with just the right amount of umami. The taste is well-balanced and easy to drink.
It is also good as a food sake, and I thought to myself, "I have to go back to buy some more Seiki Sama.
Thank you for the food, mai mai mai 🙏.
Sake-no-wa Kansai Off-line Meeting A Year-End Party ⑫
Next up was the sake brought by Umaumauma-san, who takes care of the planning and overall coordination of each off-line meeting.
Seiki Sama Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki!
The aroma of fluffy rice, the smooth mouthfeel, the slightly mineral sweetness, and the clean aftertaste.
I have always been curious about "Seiki Sama" 💡I called it "Kisui Sama" when I first saw it at Sake-no-wa, but it is "Kisui Hidari Uma" 🤔.
The 4th picture is a set of 3 snacks arranged by Umaumai, which goes well with sake 😋.
Thank you so much for all your help and preparation 🙇.
We are sorry for the many things we did not do enough to help you ⤵️
Thanks for the food ✨
Sake-no-wa Kansai Branch A Year-End Party 🍶⑬⑬⑬
This sake was brought by Mr. Maguro Umaumai Umaumai!
I drank too much and can't remember what it tasted like, but it was different from what the label implied and was delicious 😋.
The snacks in the picture are also excellent 😋.
Thank you so much for the schedule, venue, preparation, and delicious snacks 🙏.
Kansai Salmon Roe Bring and Share Year-End Party (15)
Sake brought by Umaisan
Berry-like, juicy and sweet.
Slightly gassy
Overall, it is light and easy to drink.
I didn't take a picture of it, but the heshiko (dried squid), made by Umaisan, was a great match for the sake 😋.
I had the impression that I had seen many comments on your post about how delicious it was, but I had not been able to find it. The other day, I finally found it at a liquor store introduced to me by a colleague who said they had a large selection. There were nigori and junmai (pure rice) varieties, but I bought the junmai ginjo-shu because I was attracted by a comment on the store's pop-up that I couldn't quite understand: "Junmai ginjo-shu has a beautiful sweetness produced by koji, which gives it a glamorous and sexy flavor" 😅.
The aroma is fruity and sweet like melon or vanilla, with notes of rice, graininess, and a yogurt-like fermentation. The sweetness was mild and refreshing, the acidity was moderate, the umami was a bit strong and the overall taste was powerful. It was a very tasty sake with a complex aroma and taste with a good balance 👍Thanks for the drink 😋.
At an after-party after a meeting in Shibuya, I visited Nagi at the back of the Hyakken restaurant in Dogenzaka for the first time in quite a while.
It is a popular stand-up drinking place and was crowded from Monday.
They have a large selection of sake from Fukushima Prefecture only.
Refreshing nigori sake with a shwashy feeling👍
I've had a bottle of "Seijiki-Sama" light nigori before, but I thought it tasted crisp and sharp ❗I bought it from the liquor store who said it was mellow and full of flavor this time ❗I was looking forward to opening the bottle 🎵.
Well, it's a Bali horse 🐴😋 🐴😋 It's full of umami.
It's full of flavor ❗I'd like to repeat it again✨.
Now, the autumn G1 race has started 🏇.
The Akka-sho was easy to understand, but..,
Kikka-sho, I don't know😅
Hi Noodle, ☀️
I was just wondering if I should buy a bottle of Ikki Left Horse, since my local liquor store has started to carry it. Thanks for the info on Bali Horse 🐎😊.
I'll buy it.
Good morning, Maru 😃.
I don't have the experience of drinking enough to talk about it, but I enjoyed this sake very much 😋.
It would be great to see more new liquor stores handling it 🎵Please do try it 😉.
