Sandesi gave me this 🍶.
Daiginjo with 40% Yamadanishiki polished rice
Gorgeous and full of flavor.
It is beautiful and has a nice umami flavor, yet it is sharp.
Very well-balanced and delicious!
From the impression I got from the junmai sake
I thought it would have a more classical taste
I thought it would be more classical, but it is refined and

Fragrant aroma: ‼️
It has a dry and sour taste, followed by sweetness and umami.

#Japanese Sake
Slightly sweet and umami.
It is indeed a Shiga sake with a rich umami flavor without much bitterness or pungency.
Perhaps because it is unfiltered, it has a slightly rough texture on the tongue, and it is really good to be able to enjoy the lingering taste of sake on the tongue for a long time.
Shiga sake is really good.

A rare and unseen limited edition. This sake was pressed six months ago. It has a strong, robust flavor. It has an alcohol content of 19%, and the flavor is said to hold up well even when mixed with ice. I might like this one a lot.

Junmai Daiginjo Unfiltered Nama-Genshu
The 40% polished version is the most elegant and slightly richer.
When I tasted it two years ago, the ginjo was modern, but not this time...
We have a young Noto Touji here now, and this is his third term.
The top management of Kawashima Brewery changed through M&A a few years ago, and I'm glad to see that things are slowly moving in the right direction.
Shiga is Kawashima Shuzo's Toku Jun🍶.
The aroma is quite classical.
Bran-like aroma coming through the nose
From the firm umami of rice
The acidity starts and finishes.
Traditional junmai sake flavor
It tastes better when it is heated up hot.
I feel that the roughness disappears when heated.

First half of March
The cold days are still continuing.
I wanted a junmai sake that looked good warmed up
I took a bottle home with me.
