It has been a long time since my last visit to Morishima! The last time I drank it was in February 2021, so it has been more than 4 years. It used to be Omachi, and I had written that the aroma of the grape has a sweeter taste as the day goes by.
This time it is Yamada Nishiki. I had the impression that Miyamanishiki was the only standard Morishima wine, but the manager said that both Omachi and Yamadanishiki are standard. I am ashamed to say that I did not know this because I have not been following the brand very closely!
The mouthfeel is very pleasant. It is not a fizzy, gaseous sensation, but a fresh, juicy mouthfeel. It's extremely refreshing.
Although the sake rice is different, you can still taste the grape-like aroma, which is typical of Morishima. The bitterness like astringency slowly swells up at the end, but it also goes well with the grape-like aroma and can be drunk all the time without any sense of discomfort.
It is the type of sake that shines as a food sake, and seems to go well with fish! It is especially good with hot grilled or boiled fish since it is chilly during the new sake season. It can be served with soy sauce and grated radish or grilled fish, but I prefer grilled fish with salt.
The type of sake may not be close, but it seems to be close to Ippou-self or something like that. I have been wanting to drink Ippouki for a long time.
