One more bottle to open this weekend!
This is the first time since we started Sake-no-Wa, Urakasumi by Mr. Saura!
This time it is Junmai Ginjo Zen!
I visited the brewery when my wife and I went on a trip to Matsushima and Sendai and was told that there was a sake called "Zen" under Urakasumi, so I finally brought it along this time!
Let's have it right away!
The first day
First, the aroma. First of all, the aroma is pleasant, as if it has a crisp aroma, but it doesn't.
When you put it in your mouth, a gentle sweetness and a very nice aroma spreads in your mouth.
Very calm, gentle, and beautiful impression.
After that, it has a wonderful gradation of bitterness that gradually fades away.
The lingering aftertaste is a gentle spiciness that spreads to the back of the throat.
Day 2
The sweetness, complexity, and richness of the wine are felt and it finishes beautifully.
Today, too, it has a very gentle and beautiful mouthfeel.
The slightly gorgeous aroma and complexity in the middle part of the bottle are impressive.
The lingering finish is very beautiful, and the bitterness and pungency are not so noticeable, giving the impression of an easy to drink sake.
It is also interesting that it has a rich and robust taste when served with a meal.
This weekend, we drank sake at home, so we can recharge our batteries for next week.
Good evening, ma-ki 😃.
I had imagined Urakasumi of Memories 😊 to be more classical and dry, like it would go well with sashimi, but it's a beautiful sake... and the illustrations and letters on the label are not stiff and zen 🥰I'm very interested in it!
Thank you, ichiro18!
I was under the impression that it was more dry since it was a long time before I got into sake, but it was mild, very beautiful and easy to drink 😋.
The label is also good 🤗
Good evening, ma-ki-.
I remember drinking this Urakasumi Zen almost 30 years ago when I was working in Sendai and felt for the first time that sake was delicious. I haven't had it since then, so I thought I would try it again 🥳.
Thank you, Takashi!
You drank it when you were working in Sendai: ⤴️
I agree that the taste is beautiful and delicious 😋.
I hope you will enjoy a cup of sake while remembering the old days 🤗.
Hi ma-ki-, 🌞interesting label and looks delicious 🍶If you drink it, it will help you get through the weekend in a zen and peaceful way 😆 Let's start the week and work through the weekend: ☺️✨
Thank you Nao888!
It's like a label funny and hateful 😁✨✨.
I may be far from zen because I'm a bundle of worries, but I feel refreshed 😋.
Yes, I agree! Let's both work hard until the weekend 🤗
ma-ki-San, I'm sorry to hear that 😃.
Urakasumi Zen! I remember my father used to love this sake and he used to say proudly, "It's important to have this Zen on the back. ‼️" We used to drink it together 🥹That's delicious, isn't it!
Hometown tax return.
One of a set of three bottles.
The aroma is more floral than expected, even if it is rice-like.
The mouthfeel is crisp and sharp, but there is a bitter aftertaste.
It does not come on strong, so it would be more delicious with food.
At any rate, it was delicious with seared fish.

Melon-like. It is much spicier and has no hiyaoroshi feeling. A little watery.

Fresh aroma to moderate sweetness and
The balance between the fresh aroma and the gentle sweetness and acidity is exquisite ✨
I bought it with the intention of heating it up, but I drank most of it at a cooler temperature 😊.
But I drank most of it at the temperature I chilled it in the fridge 😊.
Will buy again next year!
Thank you for the treat 😋.
I bought it because I missed drinking it last time.
Around umami and sweetness.
The slightly silky umami extends to the mid-palate and finishes with spiciness.
I tasted it at my favorite liquor store and thought it was the best Urakasumi I had ever tasted! I thought it was the best Urakasumi I had ever tasted and bought it immediately!
It is full of rice flavor with a clean and beautiful aftertaste!
It's great with fish or tsukudani (food boiled down in soy sauce), and with cheese it's refreshing...it's too versatile...!
I ran out of 2 cups of rice when I was in a daze! That's scary!
First time to drink at Sake and Fish Hanatare in Marunouchi Trust Tower!
The first time I drank at Sake and Fish Hanatare! Urakasumi
Sake degree: +2
Slightly dry! I was told it was slightly dry!
It was a little sweet on the palate, but it had a crisp and
It was a little sweet on the palate, but it was crisp and refreshing, so it ended up being dry!
I felt it was dry as a result!
I had the sashimi of eggplant here.
It was delicious 🍆✨✨!
I already drank 4 gos of Shibotan that day.
I was already open 4 gongs of shibotan that day 😂.
The aroma is green apple-like.
When served cold, the sweetness is moderate, the umami and acidity strong, and the bitterness at the end of the drink.
When lukewarm, the acidity and bitterness weaken slightly, but the basic composition remains the same.
First post from San Francisco Bay Area, USA. A glass of sake with seafood hot pot. With a cup of sake from Pepercut Pottery, a local pottery shop. Strong flavor.
