Happy New Year!
We look forward to working with you this year.
So, here is the first one.
Miyamanishiki.
A hazy sake.
It has a rich umami flavor and a pungent spiciness.
Slightly shinny, mellowed by the haze on the back palate.
The brewery is located in the Fushimi district of Kyoto City and is brewed with soft water. This bottle of Junmai Daiginjo Sake is known for its light aroma and refreshing taste.
Alcohol content: 15%
Aroma:Mitsukoshi
Body: Sweet aroma at the start of the bottle, sweet in the mouth, goes well with sushi and desserts with a slight drop.
Serving: Sushi
Production year:April 2025
This is a sake that I purchased after visiting a sake brewery and tasting it during a trip to Kyoto.
This sake is labeled "kouji-mashimashi," so its umami flavor may be stronger than normal, but the aroma is mild and the mouthfeel is about medium. I did not feel any sweetness. The acidity was quite strong. The sake has a complex flavor in the mouth and is sharp, so it is likely to be liked by those who are not satisfied with monotonous flavors.

The first sip of this sake was more sweet and heavy, but soon after, it became sweeter and mellower. The final taste was also followed by a refined acidity. It was a good drink that I never get tired of.
I love it 118 points.
The third drink of the 0th round was the first brand I had ever had, as recommended by the proprietress.
Aozora Hatsu Shibori Junmai Nama Nama Kasumishu
The aroma is almost clear.
Mild and slightly tangy on the palate.
The middle taste is sweet and umami.
The aftertaste is clean and crisp, with a hint of acidity at the back of the throat. The aftertaste is clean and crisp, while the acidity gently stimulates the back of the throat.
The base water is probably delicious. There are no major characteristics to the sake, but it is easy to drink. It was also delicious. I'm off to a year-end party now.
After the "Nadya Dai Nihon Sake Kai" in Funabori, we went to bar blancy in Kameido. I heard that Miyamanishiki is getting more and more difficult to make due to the heat, but I'm glad to hear that they still managed to make it into a delicious sake.
#Biyamanishiki
It has been a long time since I have had Aozora. Personally, I think it is the perfect sake for the first cup.
Fushimi, Kyoto is a great place for good sake, isn't it?
It has the umami of rice, but it also has an elegant sweetness like wasanbon, which is amazing!
It's so delicious with a slight bitterness in the aftertaste!
I want to buy this...
