Purchased on a business trip to Ibaraki.
It was fruity and I liked the taste.
The aroma was subtle and delicious.
It is one I would like to buy again.

I drank it for the first time and it was as elegant and delicious as the owner of the store where I bought it said it would be 😋.

This is the first time I have received a Masho.
I bought it on the spur of the moment for no particular reason😙.
It has a yellowish color when poured.
Once I tasted the delicate acidity, the sweetness enveloped my entire tongue from the tip of the tongue 😋.
It is a honey-like sweetness, but thin and slight.
When the sweetness fades on the back of the tongue, some flavor comes over it, but I can't really tell what it is, it feels like the aftertaste of ...... cooked rice.
The bitter and spicy taste appears at the back of the throat, and the sweet taste returns on the tip of the tongue.
You have even more sweetness lingering on the tongue.
As the day goes on, the flavorful shiitake mushrooms and dried bonito flakes mixed with the broth is absolutely delicious 🥰.

The long awaited Shinjo Neo Classic. What a first and hiyaoroshi!
I was excited to open the bottle!
The aroma doesn't seem to rise much.
The rice is 80% polished and the taste is robust? I thought so. It has a light umami and a fresh acidity like a makami-style wine 😭Yumami!
I kept it carefully refrigerated, but upon closer inspection, I found that it was stored in a cool, dark place.
I wonder if it can be kept cold or at room temperature? Let's take it out of the fridge and leave it there: ☺️
Room temperature is umami acid! I felt the umami flavor was outstanding.

Shinjo純米酒 Neo-Classic 直汲生原酒
ジャイヴ
It's the day of the start of November after one of the most difficult days of the vacation season, and before you know it, there are only two months left of the year 😅.
It was more of a hassle than a challenge, but I finished it professionally, so let's have a drink 🍶.
Shinjo Junmai Shu Neo-Classic Nao Kumi Nama Shu
I got it when I went for a drive in Gifu the other day!
I had been curious about this sake from Ibaraki, which Manachie and Aladdin had been drinking for a while.
［A glass.]
It has a slightly matured pear-like aroma. The aroma is like a pear, and the soft umami and fruity aroma that flows smoothly through the mouth and nose, followed by a lingering fresh bitterness.
［Mokkiri]
A clean aroma, a smooth taste, and a unique aroma that flows smoothly through the nose, followed by a lingering fresh bitterness.
What is this? The balance that I have never experienced before, the smooth and fruity flavor, the fruity aroma and the lingering bitterness, the changes are quite drastic, but it's a wonder that it's all in one sake.
I served it with kimchi motsu nabe and bonito tataki.
The umami part goes well with it, but it leaves a bitter taste, so it would be interesting if you try it with other dishes 🤔.

Hi Jive 😃
2 more months to go...every year the end of the year seems to come faster 😅I feel like I'm suddenly being chased by the end of the year when summer is over... 💧I hope it gets colder and kimchi nabe and sake is good 🍲Awa Hakyu looks delicious too🤩.

Hi Jive, good evening.
Thanks for coming back after your vacation🍀.
I'm quite interested in a well-balanced sake that even you haven't experienced 😋.
I'd like to try the sake from Ibaraki prefecture as well since I don't come across it very often 🤗.

Good evening, HinaHanaMama🌛.
The end of another year is approaching, and the nights and dawns have been getting colder and colder lately 😖.
When it's this cold, nabe is easy and tasty, so we may continue to have nabe dishes until early spring 🤣.

Good evening, Mr. Manachy 🌛.
It was delicious 🥰.
I was curious about the label [Mt. Tsukuba], but I finally found it and got it!
There were two other types with different specs, so I'll go back to buy more ✨.

Good evening, ma-ki!
It was quite a complex flavor, but it was delicious and cohesive 🥰.
The liquor store where I went to buy "Shinjo" had several types of "Nagatoro" and was strong in Kanto style sake ✨.

Shinjo純米酒 Neo-classic
おうどんパン
So, it's been a while since I've been on top of this!
Neo-Classics and the like already stick in the minds of HR/HM lovers because of the name, you know what I mean! (speaking rapidly)
Basically, it's an acidity-based assembly...
The sweetness comes from the acidity and finishes with the acidity.
(It may be a little strange since it is after a certain amount of drinking...) There is an alu feeling in the sensation after drinking, so you may not like it here.
However, the short aftertaste after drinking means that it is easy to drink, so I think this is a plus.
Personally, I like the taste!
P.S.
This sake is more interesting at room temperature than too chilled...!
I recommend it at Hanayakie or chilled!

I bought this makami because the nigori I drank before was so good. According to the liquor store, it is a refreshing type.
The aroma is citrus, melon. Maybe a little bit of makki too.
When you include it, it is ooey-gooey and chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili-chili. The sweetness comes at first, but it turns to sourness and spreads out, and then it is tightened up with a bit of bitterness.
This is the kind that goes well with a strong entrée!
As the day goes by, it seems to become more classic.
The name is Casual Modern, but it may not be that modern at the time of opening the bottle. The impression is that it is a clear classic with sweetness, umami, and acidity of rice.
It is very drinkable and can be easily paired with meals, but I think I liked the nigori I drank before better!

Good evening, Kotaro 😃.
I remember the name "Makami" and when I reviewed my post it said acid and sweet 🙄 I guess it's mostly that type 🤔This is a clear classic that calls itself casual modern 😆.

Hello Kotaro-san 😃
Mr. Makami! I'm curious but haven't come across you yet 🥲I may have to look for you from different angles instead of just looking straight up 😳.
I would love to taste the sukkah 😊.

Hi Hiro, good evening 🌙
I've only had two of them, but I might be under the impression that they are acid and sweet, though certainly not the sweet and sour kind 🧐✨.
It was delicious, but if you call it modern, hmmm ⁉️😳 😆.

Good evening, Jay and Nobby!
Have you met the rookie Makami-san from the neighboring prefecture yet 😚 Sometimes you have to look at your feet...while the liquor store is looking at your feet? I'll have to look for you 🤣If you find a sukkah 💪 to go with your meal, please do visit ‼️

Last of the day.
Hachitan Nishiki.
The sweetness comes gently in the first half of the bottle.
The middle part of the bottle has a smooth flavor and acidity, but the sweetness lingers gently until the aftertaste.
