Smells like strawberry chocolate
Slightly effervescent
Like a sweet dessert wine, but not too heavy and refreshing.
The strong flavor makes it a great food wine for strong flavored dishes.
The second day is refreshing.
1980
Slight "pssh" when opened.
There was no particular aroma.
On the palate, "Fruity!"
Juicy like a sweet pear, the sweetness does not linger, but is covered by a spiciness.
The spiciness is not unpleasant, but refreshing.
But the sweetness lingers faintly in the mouth.
After two or three sips, the sweetness of the rice becomes clear.
This is delicious!
You can almost finish the whole bottle.
Purple Space, I'm hooked.
Sweet drink, strawberry label.
It's so good!
Sourness, sweetness through it, sweet all the way, but not too much, loop of one more sip!
I want to drink it again later, or maybe I'll buy a bottle to take home!
Souvenirs for yourself when you go back home, part 2
In contrast to the wave label I posted earlier, this is the Nadeshiko label. Incidentally, they also had a cherry label in a similar shade.
The aroma is not that different, but the moment you put it in your mouth, you feel the overwhelming sweetness of rice. I am comparing the two, but this one is clearly sweeter and has a very negative sake taste.
However, I wondered how the taste could be so different for the same junmai ginjo with the same alcohol content, but upon closer inspection, it seems that the rice used is different.
The stable wave label is Ginga no Shizuku.
The sweet Nadeshiko label is Gingin Otome.
I haven't looked into the details, but the name suggests that the rice is for ginjo. And what is a "maiden"? Nadeshiko (sake) brewed from Otome. And flower yeast. Hmmm...one more glass.

I tried to find it at Morioka station, but it seems to have already been found.
I tried the standard wave label first, although there were many different labels.
The aroma is junmai (pure rice), but the alcohol content is slightly strong. The alcohol content is 15%, so I guess that's what it is. Perhaps it is because it is chilled, but there is definitely a ginjo aroma, although it is not strong.
The mouthfeel is soft, and even in small quantities, the aroma spreads as you drink, making it very pleasant.
The slightly high alcohol content gives it a slightly spicy taste, but this is probably due to the neutral finish. The explanation on the label says that it is "stable in the middle," which is understandable.
I really want a sense of stability in my bowsprit as well.
