The sweetness is moderate and a pleasant acidity spreads. The umami of the rice comes afterwards, but the aftertaste is so refreshing that it keeps you coming back for more. It is delicious!
Today's first drink is Daishinshu.
It has a very good balance of lightness, deliciousness, and various other characteristics while being refreshing.
Delicious!
The third purchase on the Nagano trip: ‼️
It's a great experience to be able to buy at the brewery. ‼️ And I can't resist when I hear it's a limited edition from the brewery, but I already bought 4 bottles on my trip to Nagano, so I'll just have to hold out for one... Next time I go there, I'll buy more、、、、
Now, from the aroma: ‼️
It smells slightly sweet, but I think it's almost odorless. My stupid nose can't decide ‼️ (laughs)
Now for a sip ‼️🍶🍻
In the mouth, I feel a pear-like sweetness, followed by an alu feeling, with a slight bitterness at the end, and the sweetness remains.
My image of Daishinshu was mostly dry, but I think it is a much sweeter sake. Indeed, the brewer told me that this one is much sweeter, but it was sweeter than I imagined.
I have a strong image that Nagano sake has a beautiful aftertaste because of the good water. I have two more reviews left, but I'd like to do it slowly 🍶.
I'm really into Daishinshu today.
There are many delicious sake from Nagano, but I think I actually like Daishinshu the best.
So I opened a bottle of Daishinshu's Inamitsu.
I don't often look at the room temperature section, but for some reason, my eyes fell on it.
The overall impression is of a thick core, with a smooth, lean body.
But it also has a minerality, which is typical of Daishinshu.
It has a strong flavor, but it is not too heavy, which is one of the characteristics of Taishinshu.
It is a brand that makes you want to follow it more deeply.
The first aroma was sweet. When you drink it, you get a dry impression with a little sweet dryness and moderate bitterness, and it goes down smoothly. This is delicious. It has a complex flavor, but it has a dry image but is also soft and delicious. I didn't feel much of a hint of incense. It is good both on its own and during a meal. It seems to show its full potential during a meal. I knew Daishinshu was delicious.
It goes well with Negitoro no Nameko and Ponzu Motsu.
My favorite!
Domestic rice
Rice polishing ratio? % of rice
Alcohol 16%.
It is a Taishinshu sake, so it has a clean and gorgeous taste, but for a Taishinshu sake, it is "delicious! Today's dish is hormone yaki udon (fried udon noodles with hormone), so I chose a sake that tastes good! It has a fresh taste, and of course it has a presence by itself, but I think it is also a good sake to accompany dishes!

Somewhat strawberry-like flavor. Freshness.
The texture is fresh and crisp.
The acidity is sharp and the spiciness is sharp.
After the second sip, you will notice the smooth sweetness and umami.
Taste: 3.5/5
This Daishinshu super-harsh junmai ginjo was recommended to us at the pension where we were staying.
The proprietress, who loves sake, told me with a laugh, "I tend to make dishes that go well with sake," and I couldn't restrain myself from ordering a bottle.
The dishes are delicate in appearance and taste, and each dish is impressive. This sake does not interfere with such a gorgeous meal, but rather enhances it and makes it even more delicious.
The fruity aroma and the crisp, dry taste. I am very happy.
