Yep...
I went to buy a bottle of Genmai to drink 😊.
There was only one bottle of Genmai, and I couldn't see the price well with my old eyes, but I picked it up and went to the cashier.
A little expensive...
Yes👍That was delicious ❗️
chikumo for sharing 😁.
Thanks 😆
It's sweet and tasty 😆.
I think it would go well with cured ham or something like that.
It tastes great on the rocks too!
We received information from Mr. Tetsu Boya and went to the distributor.
As you can see in the picture, the new deep green label is eye-catching.
The only Yamae-Nishiki I have tasted is Shinshu Kamerei.
Of course, this is the first time for me to taste Genmai.
Since the outside temperature was high, I brought it home and put it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before opening the bottle.
The taste is completely different from Shinshu Kamerei.
It does not have much sourness and sweetness.
It has a deep taste.
It is different from the conventional Genmai.
I think this is the first time I have tasted this kind of approach.
I think it is a sake for different tastes.
Mr. Chino continues to give sake a variety of flavors.
I can only say that he is a genius.
Rice used: Kinmon-Nishiki Polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 16
It has a gorgeous sweetness and umami like the honey of Hana🌸, and yet it is easy to drink.
It will wash well with fried food such as tempura and fatty dishes such as Japanese beef shabu-shabu.
The last one is Miyamanishiki, which is the name of Kawanakajima Genmai!
I've had this one several times, and I know it's delicious, but this is my first attempt to compare it with others.
When we compared them, we found that Miyamanishiki is also a very rich bottle.
It has a nutty aroma and a sweet, umami taste.
However, it also has a somewhat soft and relaxing atmosphere.
The high alcohol content also made me quite drunk just by comparing one glass at a time.
All of them were delicious, but I personally preferred the Yamadanishiki the best!
The third bottle is Yamada Nishiki!
This is probably the first Yamada Nishiki from Kawanakajima Genmai.
This one also has a different atmosphere from the previous two bottles.
It is made with Yamadanishiki, and has a rich, umami flavor of the royal road.
It has a core, but is not too heavy, and seems to be easy to pair with meals.
Next is the Junmai Ginjo Kinmon Nishiki!
For some reason, I have had many opportunities to drink Kinmonniki sake recently.
It seems to be the sake that Nagano is known for.
The weight of this sake is different from that of a ginjo.
It has a very robust flavor, combined with a nutty, rich richness that makes it very drinkable.
It lingers until the end, making it a bottle to be enjoyed in a relaxed manner.
Today is the prelude (?) to my birthday coming up next week! So, we compared Kawanakajima Genmai!
Actually, I have a bottle of Harmonic Emotion in the pipeline, but that's for my birthday.
Let's start with the ginjo.
The rice is Kinmon-nishiki. This is the first time for me to drink Kawanakajima Genmai with aloso.
The aroma is the usual Kawanakajima Genmai.
It has a rich umami and a slightly alcoholic taste.
The taste is a little light, but has a solid core atmosphere.
Aru-soze tends to be too sharp, but this one has a good sharpness and lingering bitterness.
Genmai, which was hard to find
I drink it at home.
Calm and fruity aroma
The one and only deep flavor
Waves of deliciousness wash over you and sink into your body...
For the birthday party, we also did a high-end drinking comparison of Genmai (drop collection vs. harmonic emotion) 😁 🎵.
Yamadanishiki and Miyamanishiki assemblage 🎵
Junmai Daiginjo from Kawanakajima Genmai.
Sake aged at low temperature using 10% Miyamanishiki (49% milled rice) and 90% Yamadanishiki (35% milled rice) 🍶.
The aroma is mellow and sweet on the nose.
The first aroma is mildly sweet, and in the mouth it has a smooth, mellow, sweet flavor.
You can tell it's a good sake just by drinking this smoothness even if it is fire-aged 😊.
It was delicious 🍶✨️
Kaoru sake. Sake from Tohoku and sake from Nagano are similar but completely different, but I can't really put it into words...the sweetness and powerful gentleness that is typical of Nagano...the tanginess was irresistibly delicious!
Comparison with Miyamanishiki. Fruity aroma. The moment you drink it, your taste buds will roar with delight. ‼️
It has a gentle mouthfeel, with a sweetness that fills the palate and finishes with a smooth finish. As the temperature rises, the sticky sweetness increases and the aroma of Miyamanishiki comes out. On the second day after opening the bottle, the aroma is lessened and it is a little more refreshing than sweeter. It's really delicious. ‼️
