Light crispness and freshness, the quality of the rice is smooth but the taste comes through at milling 70, the flavor is delicious with just the right amount of umami and bitterness.
Zen Junmai Ginjo-shu⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 58%, ALC 14.5 degrees
This is a junmai ginjo-shu from Shikara. It has a fruity aroma more subtle than that of junmai sake, and the taste is mellow and refreshing on the palate with the delicious flavor of rice.

Zen Junmai-shu⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 64%, ALC 14.5 degrees
This was my first encounter with Hakuryu's [Shikara]...so I bought two bottles, a Junmai-shu and a Junmai-Ginjo-shu.
We started with the junmai sake 🤗.
After a slight bitterness and sourness in the mouth, a sharp, slightly dry taste and the umami of rice spread out.

I bought this sake on a trip to Fukui to visit the Hakuryu brewery. It has a pear-like fruity aroma, but it is refreshing and delicious.
The sake we were allowed to drink during the tour was also delicious, and the location of the brewery was a very pleasant place surrounded by nature.
Great tasting on the terrace!
The third cup is Eiheiji Hakuryu from Fukui.
It is a simple sake that is light, mild and easy to drink, but you will never get tired of drinking it. 🙆♂️
It went well with the shime saba (mackerel) that I served with the entrée.
Today we had a lunchtime drink at one of the houses!
It's fun to drink at someone's house because it's different from the drinks I usually encounter! ☺︎
The spiciness comes when you drink it, but it has a clean aftertaste. I got the impression that it was easy to pair with meals.
I drank another different sake, so I'll post it next!
It has a rich sweetness and a mild mouthfeel. It is easy to drink with only a slight pungency from the alcohol. It is best enjoyed slowly with a meal rather than as a refreshing drink. It is better matched with rich dishes such as miso than with light dishes such as sashimi and chicken.
Soft and fruity aroma.
Clear sweetness in the mouth. It is somewhat like rum.
After drinking, the rice flavor comes through.
Smooth acidity and moderate fine bitterness.
Taste level ☆3.5/5
