Visiting the Five Storehouses of Kami-suwa (1) Maihime
Shinshu Maihime Ougen label Junmai Ginjo Summer Goldfish
The aroma is of muscat, and the taste is moderate, with the umami coming later. The finish is crisp and accented with bitterness.
(2) Suiro Junmai Ginjo Natural
Smooth taste with a fruity sweet and sour flavor. However, it is not overly sweet, and the final taste is calm and lingering, with a good aroma and aftertaste.
Shinshu Maihime Junmai Daiginjo Omachi Chikuhime
It has the strongest aroma and fruity sweetness. The sweetness permeates the palate, spreading out just like the aroma. The umami of the rice lingers in the mouth for quite a long time.
Shinshu Maaihime Junmai Daiginjyo Harasake Miyamanishiki Polishing 49
It has a firm acidity, which is followed by a full-bodied and mild taste. It is the heaviest due to the fact that it is a pure sake.
(5) Suiro Junmai Daiginjyo Yamadanishiki Polishing 39, unfiltered, unadulterated, pure sake
Compared to the other two, this one has a sourness that goes through the nose. It is also light on the palate and goes down the throat quickly, but after that you can feel the alcohol taste.
In my opinion, I prefer ➂. Maihime is the most well-balanced and easy to drink among the five breweries in terms of both aroma and taste.
