I went to the next city today to buy this taman boast. I had no idea you could buy this in rural Hyogo Prefecture. This is the first sake from Tokyo, I believe.
Chilled well...open the bottle. The color is slightly golden yellow, the aroma...I can't really tell because my nose is stuffed up right now...it tastes sweet, but has a clean aftertaste and is easy to drink.
Very tasty 😊.
Many "Hiyoroshi Fair" lined up.
I bought one bottle that I was unsure about.
It is a sake from the capital, Tokyo!
I think the name was mentioned in the sakelabo video.... Somehow I remembered the brand name.
It is a sake that is hard to find in Kansai. Let's have a bottle of the delightful one.
Whoa, is this a umami type? The aroma is like that.
When you drink it, it is not so sweet. It gives the impression of being sharp and dry.
As you drink it, it is fresh and fruity. Hmm, is there sweetness?
It seems to go well with all kinds of food.
*This is the second day. The aroma is fresh and sweet, too.
A summer vacation for a forty year old man. Will it be a good way to end it? Today, Saturday, September 27, my eldest son and I went to Ishikawa Sake Brewery's Appreciation Day. We won the first prize in last month's lottery for purchases over 3,000 yen, and received a Daiginjo cake. I used it as a card to keep my wife in a good mood.
The limited edition sake for this month's Thanksgiving Day is a junmai (pure rice) autumn sake. It has a melon-like aroma with a strong umami and bitterness, and is not too sweet, making it easy to drink. The umami is rich and thick. Although I enjoyed the sweet limited edition sake during the summer, I was reminded how much I like this kind of sake with less sweetness and more umami.
Purchased at a local supermarket.
Tastes like a Japanese sake.
Dry, strong style!
Slightly thicker in the mouth.
It would be better if it had a little more sharpness.
Personal Satisfaction: ★★☆☆☆☆
Tokyo sake. I used to see this sake when I was small, but this may be the first time I've had it myself.
I guess it's a bit dry. Thank you for the sake!
Taman proudly brews its Junmai Namaishu using Tokyo rice and water. Although there is no sake rice produced in Tokyo, Ishikawa Brewery has brewed several sakes using food rice produced in Tokyo. This junmai sake is made with Koshihikari rice. It has a kinako-like aroma. Perhaps because the rice is not polished very much, it is full of complex umami flavor. It's sad that in sake terms it's often called miscellaneous flavor. It's a fluffy junmai sake with a bran-like...or maybe a gentle kinako-like grain type flavor. Delicious - I like this kind of sake.
We went on a sake brewery tour at Ishikawa Sake Brewery, a 5-minute cab ride from Haijima on the Chuo Line from Tokyo. ❤️
We were shown the brewery where they make sake and the brewery where they make beer, and were given detailed explanations and tasting samples. ‼️
At the beer hut, there was a freshly baked pizza and many appetizers made with sakekasu (sake lees), which was really delicious. ❣️
As a souvenir, I bought a bottle of Tamanjumo Hana Ginjo.
It has a very gorgeous aroma and tastes dry and clean, very delicious 😋.
Thank you very much ❣️
I bought this [sweetness-obsessed ⭐︎ mellow junmai ginjo] at Ishikawa Shuzo's Appreciation Day.
Beautiful yellow-green color. The aroma is of the Wasanbon type. The mouthfeel is light and smooth.
The taste is...sweet, this is sweet. It has a sugarcane-like sweetness with no fruitiness. The slightly greenish atmosphere is also cane-like. The finish is austere, so you don't get tired of drinking it.
But how can they serve something different every month? I'm really impressed.
Today is Ishikawa Brewery's Appreciation Day. We received this Junmai Nama-nihonjunshu (pure rice sake) as the third month of the "Stamp Rally"! Stamp Rally], so we had this Junmai Nama Nama Sake.
The lingering summer heat is still very hot, and although I first had a craft beer, Tama no Blessing Pilsner, there was a rather cool breeze, and I could feel the footsteps of autumn. That being the case, we decided to open a bottle of sake as well...so we opened a bottle of this one.
It has a sweet melon aroma. The rich sweetness and umami spreads in the mouth as it thickens. The sweetness has a bitter taste like brown sugar, making it a very strong flavor. It is also delicious on the rocks.
This is the 6th month of participating in the Thanksgiving Day. It was so hot that I was about to give up, but I was right to come.
It seems like I eat dashimaki tamago (rolled egg) every time...
I too participated in the Thanksgiving Day brewery tour yesterday! I see you were able to join us?
I enjoyed it as well!
And it's amazing that it's been 6 months!
Taman's signature junmai unfiltered, limited edition Takke label for the Fussa Tanabata Festival. Reasonably priced and delicious sake with plenty of flavor and sweetness. The candy color is also beautiful and pleasing. Tamanjushin has a lot of variations, so I tend to gravitate toward them, but after a long time, drinking the standard Junmai Unfiltered is a pleasant and relaxing experience, both in price and taste.
This is the first Omachi version of Tamanjobu.
I see that sake breweries in West Tokyo are also taking on various challenges.
I have yet to understand the characteristics of Omachi, and I think it is a little grassy ....... I am not sure what it is yet.
I really don't know. ......
I am still not sure about the characteristics of Oumachi and I think it is a little grassy!
.
Tama's pride and joy is this summer draft sake!
This sake is quite powerful, both fruity and punchy!
It is the perfect sake to drink on a hot summer night, when sake is the main ingredient.
It has a strong flavor, so we enjoy it on the rocks, slowly.
