This week has been a bit of a flurry.
So I'm going to let sake heal me.
I'm having Nabeshima by Tomikuchiyo Shuzo!
This time it's Junmai Ginjo Yamada Nishiki!
This is the first time for me to drink Nabeshima's Yamadanishiki, and the first time for me to drink it at home, but I got this sake at Komenohana, which I visited last year!
So without further ado, let's have it!
The first day
First, the aroma. It smells sweet.
When you put it in your mouth, you can taste the chili.
And what can I say? It's so fruity and sweet!
The fruity sweetness is the best in recent years.
Although there is a parallel bitter taste, the sweetness is very impressive and sinks in.
There is also a slight saltiness in the aftertaste, which is very tasty!
When paired with a meal, the bitterness increases and the sweetness seems subdued, so it does not interfere with the meal.
Fourth day.
When I put it in my mouth, the chiliiness has gone into the background.
But the aroma is fruity.
The balance is still good even on its own, with a refreshing sweetness, a slight sake taste and bitterness.
The aftertaste is a bitterness from the spiciness.
The overall impression is a bit thin and the bitterness is a bit strong.
When matched with a meal, on the contrary, the sweetness increases and it is interesting.
It would have been better to drink it as soon as possible after opening the bottle, but it is more than enough delicious sake.

Good evening, ma-ki-😃.
Nabeshima, I like drinking at home ✨.
My mom who used to live in Nagasaki used to say Nabeshima is the sake of Kyushu.
Even though my mom doesn't drink sake (lol).
Your review sounds delicious and I would love to drink it 🍶.

It's interesting how the flavor expression changes depending on the food you pair it with🤣.

Good evening, ma-ki!
I like Nabeshima. ❣️ I'm very curious about Nabeshima 😆 Does the label make quite a difference in taste? Purple seems to have a good balance of sweet and bitter. I'd love to try it sometime 🥰.

Thank you for your comment, soumacho.
Even your mother, who doesn't drink sake, recognizes it as Kyushu's representative sake, which is a quintessential Nabesama 😲.
All Nabesama is delicious, so please try it if you have a chance 😊.

Thanks for your comment Yasbaye.
Purple is Yasbaye-san's favorite nabe 😲.
It's one of the most enjoyable aspects of sake that it changes its expression to match your meal 🎵.
It really was a delicious nabe-sama 😋.

Thank you for your comment, HinaHanaMama.
Nabesama was probably my first Kyushu sake, and I was so impressed with its well-balanced taste that it became my favorite 😲.
We have a variety of sake from regular to seasonal so please try it 😊.

Thank you Jay & Nobby for your comments.
I've read your article from 3 years ago🎵.
It was a really juicy and delicious drink: ⤴️
There are so many drinks I haven't had that may not be on tap, but if you get the chance 😊.

Thanks for your comment Nao888.
I was also blissful to meet you because until I went to Komenohana, Nabe-sama was only available for outside drinking ✨.
You can eat and drink at Komenohana from 5:30pm🎵
You got your Nabe-sama 😊.

Thank you for your comment, Pon-chan.
I often get these drinks at my favorite yakitori restaurant, so you had an image of them. ⤴️
I'll ask the owner to serve more 😁.
I hope you enjoy drinking at home 😊.

Good evening, ma-ki🌛.
Nabeshima Purple Label.
I was surprised by the taste of my first "Nabeshima" and it was one of the first sakes that awakened me to out-of-prefecture sakes 😁.
It's been a while since I've had it ✨

Thank you for your comment, Gyve.
As Gyve mentioned in her post, it really is fruity: ⤴️
I'm very honored to have the drink that unintentionally awakened Mr. Jaive 😊.
