The second round of sake tasting!
I started with the "Kyokusei" on the left.
At first, it has a mellow soybean-like flavor and a dry, chili-chili-yaki taste. The umami is very strong, but the taste gradually becomes lighter and more balanced.
It was a delicious sake that could be enjoyed both warmed and chilled!
It's the Kyokusei I got as a gift.
I'm glad I don't drink too much sake in a cup!
Personally, I like to drink it hot!
The strong and long-lasting aftertaste is typical of Omachi rice!
It's hot during the day but still a little cold at night, so it was the right choice to heat it up. ☺️
It was a gift in a paulownia wood box. Sorry it took me so long to drink it! I was thinking, "I'm sorry it took me so long to drink it," but a well-made sake is incredibly tasty even if it's stored well.
It is as I expected. But I wish I could have drunk it sooner...
Purchased at Okayama Station on the way back from a trip. Omachi is famous in Okayama. This junmai ginjo brewed with rice from that region has a viscous but light aftertaste with a hint of ginjo aroma and is very easy to drink.
Okayama doesn't have any "corel" sake, but on the contrary, all of them are good.
After Gozenshuu, I guess...
After Gozenshu, is sake the next best thing?
Continuing from last month? Okayama expedition ✈.
I was tired after walking around and had a drink at the hotel 🍶.
The sake was a 300ml bottle from Miyashita Sake Brewery, which was delicious in a one-cup bottle last time!
The sake was from Miyashita Sake Brewery, which was delicious in one cup last time, but this time it was a 300 ml bottle!
This sake is said to have won the Klamaster Award at the 2024 Sake Competition held in Paris, France, one of the largest sake competitions in Europe!
Maybe you can only drink it now?
I'm glad I came to Okayama 🤗.

Taste & Aroma
The nose is mild, but the mouth has a strong fruity apple-like aroma. Slightly light and slightly spicy, with a strong acidity. Gradually, it turns into a slightly complex umami and bitterness. The aftertaste is not too sharp, and it can be drunk without disturbing the pace of the meal.
Because it is fruity, refreshing, and umami, it goes well with a variety of dishes, such as sashimi and strong dishes.
I bought this one-cup sake in Okayama Prefecture, which I passed by briefly the other day.
I bought the label anyway...hmmm, this is my kind of sake😆.
Easy to drink and sweet! This (180ml) is not enough...
I'm going to visit there this weekend, so I'll buy a bigger size this time!
I still spill a little when I open one cup 😓.
