We visited the new sake festival of Santan Masamune 😁.
There were a lot of people who are fans of Yamatan Masamune and it was pretty exciting👍.
Since it was my first time to try their sake, I decided to try all kinds of sake at a paid tasting. Here is a summary of my impressions.
Freshly squeezed new sake
Needless to say, it is fresh and has a strong acidity.
Honjozo Shimanami
(1) Honjozo Shimanami has a dry taste with an aroma that is a bit like Honjozo poi or a barrel sake.
(2) Super dry, dry and light.
It is light and dry, and quite refreshing. It is easy to drink and has little habit.
(3) SHIZUKUHIME Junmai Ginjo
Not much aroma. It is a junmai with a strong alcohol taste, but the alcohol feeling spreads to the palate and the taste is firm.
4) Ginjo-shu
Fruity aroma, the opposite of the aroma is the spiciness that stands out.
5) Junmai Daiginjo Matsuyama Mitsui
The ginjo aroma spreads widely. Overall, the taste was refreshing and well-balanced with sweetness.
It seemed to be the most popular.
(6) Daiginjo-shu
It has a ginjo aroma, but it was a little restrained, and the overall impression was very similar to that of ⑤.
⑦Shizukudori Junmai Daiginjo-shu
Surprisingly, the aroma is not so strong, (the aroma itself!) The sweetness is strong and the overall taste is dark.
(8) Natural old sake
Old sake but easy to drink, coffee-like aroma, suitable for aperitifs, but drinkable normally
Good morning, Robin 😃.
I like your new sake festival expedition: ☺️
It's a unique event to be able to delve into one brewery's sake all in one place 😊.
It's also great that the sake connection is expanding through Sake no Wa 😄.
Hi Aladdin!
The new sake festival was great👍I like the fact that you can sample all the sake made in the brewery at once and take your time ☺️ I never thought I would be sharing sake with a German 😄.
Hi Robin 🐦.
Your expedition to Ehime's new sake festival sounds like fun 🎶and international 😆👍!
I think I've only had one glass of this brewery's sake in Ehime before? It's nice to be able to drink so many kinds!
Hi Pon-chan!
The New Sake Festival is the best 👍Well worth the trip, it's a bit random, but it was fun and international 🤣The 9 different types of sake were all unique and enjoyable 😊.
Good morning, rootless!
Thank you for your hard work at the New Sake Festival.
The Junmai Daiginjo was delicious👍.
Matsuyama Mitsui Jun Dai is also a hard sake to throw away 😁.
We had this at a ryokan in Omishima.
The food and drinks were perfect for a tired body after cycling along the Shimanami Highway.... ☺️
The sake was delicious and refreshing and went well with the seafood dishes.
(I had jellyfish sashimi for the first time. ... Amazing!)
Yamatan Masamune Silver Label Matsuyama Mitsui Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake, Direct Kumi Betsuatsue, 3080 yen
Today's side dish is Bean-curd soup with Bean-curd soup and Bonjiri Daikon!
The aroma is a sweet ginjo aroma, the first attack is the full sweetness of wasanbon sugar, and as it goes down the throat, the spiciness comes in the mouth, and the sweet and spicy aftertaste lasts for a long time.
I like 💕︎ this sake 💕︎
Sake made with music vibration technology developed in collaboration with Tokyo University of Agriculture and ONKYO.
By listening to jazz music for several hundred hours during the aging stage, the yeast is activated and the sake has a smooth finish.
The taste is refreshing and ideal for cold sake.
Smells like candy store pineapple or something sweet.
Surprisingly refreshing, with a spodrilla-like texture.
The acidity is refreshing.
It is said that it becomes sharp and mellow when heated.
Taste degree ☆ 3.5/5
It is a classic type of sake, but it is very easy to drink because it is light, dry, and has a refreshing aftertaste. It can certainly be matched with a variety of dishes. Even if the taste of the meal is strong, it may not be defeated. It is recommended to be served lukewarm.
I would like to drink it lukewarm on a cold day with nabe dishes.
☆☆☆☆☆
Light, clean and crisp.
I don't think there's much aroma (I can't really smell it due to chronic congestion), but it's surprisingly robust and drinkable.
I think this one is good for warming up too.
Delicious!
This sake is made from Matsuyama Mitsui rice from Ehime Prefecture. The sound of "Yamatan" is nice, like a yurukyarakara. Yamatan.
Sharp banana aroma. Smooth mouthfeel, refreshing acidity, and umami (delicious flavor) gradually appear.
It is a perfect food sake.
