Soutenden Tokubetsu Junmai Shu - Shiboritate Nama-shu
Rating 4.4-4.3
Alcohol: 17%; Rice polishing ratio: 60%; Sake meter: ±0; Ingredient rice: Kura-no-Hana (produced in Miyagi Prefecture)
Junmai-shu carefully brewed by taking advantage of the characteristics of the raw rice. It is bottled with the strength and fresh taste of unadjusted, unpasteurized sake that can only be enjoyed at the brewery. It is characterized by its fresh, fruity aroma, pleasant sweetness, and light, refreshing aftertaste that only freshly pressed sake can provide.
It is round, slightly heavy, and has a hard caramelized taste.
This sake was given to me as a gift from Sendai. It is refreshingly fruity and dark in color, but it tastes good and goes down easy! I'm not always a fan of Junmai, but this is good, totally delicious!
Dodgers, we won!
Yamamoto won!
Sasaki, you did your best!
The sake is Sotenden. I thought of the color blue, but the label is green, but I don't care.
But I don't mind. It's a new sake. I'll give him a break.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow's event at ❤️. I'm sure I'll win two in a row!
Let's see what kind of sake we can find at the liquor store.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
I'm looking forward to today! I'm watching the relay race before that, though,
I'd love to watch it while drinking, but I have guests coming over from noon 😭 I'll refrain from doing so.
Let's have a sake fight tonight: ‼️
We had it at an after-party at an inn!
According to the brewer, the rice is harder than expected and the sake has less of a raw sake-like quality than usual!
Here is the third drink! Kesennuma is Otokoyama Shuzo's Sotenden. The owner kindly opened a bottle of this Hoya Boy label for us! The first sip!
It is a crisp and refreshing sake made with Miyagi Prefecture's original Kura-no-Hana (flower of the brewery). The aroma is understated, and the subtle sweetness is nice. The triangular fried fish from the Definition Mountain as a side dish was also a nice touch. Matsushima and Oshima in the background!

Buy the jackets 😊.
I thought I was getting an acid taste, but in no time at all, the sweetness spread over my entire tongue.
While I was enjoying the sweetness, the bitterness bounced back to the tip of my tongue from the back of my tongue, and I also felt a slight pungency.
After a while, when it calmed down, the mild sweetness was interrupted by a flicker of bitterness.
I am not sure, but as I continued drinking, a change occurred that made me think I was drinking a completely different sake, with little acidity and a creamy flavor that flowed onto my tongue, followed gradually by bitterness 🙂.
The expression of the flavor changes from the top, middle and bottom of the sake poured into the sake cup.
It is a mysterious sake 😚.
