susan
Cold sake
It is clearer than Omachi's Tokujunmai.
Drink. There is almost no pallor, and it has a luster. If Omachi is a soft powdery beauty, this is a bright and shiny beauty. The pineapple is quite subdued. I see! I learned that Omachi is a rice with a pineapple flavor. When you swallow it, it has a lightness in the beauty of the clear stream. The bitterness that remains to a modest degree.
40°C
It is quieter than Omachi. Autumn moonlit night
Drink it. The taste is fresh and light. Immediately after that, the richness of the rice comes through the nose vividly. The sweetness has increased to a fully ripe level. The sweetness is so persistent. When you swallow it, the astringency is refreshing.
50°C
Standing alcohol
Drink it. The sweetness is a little persistent. Immediately after you feel it, the bitterness balances it out. When you swallow it, it has a light freshness.
60℃.
The rice is soothed as if it were tucked into a futon.
Drink it. Suddenly, the flavor of rice, fullness! The eyebrows are in a "C" shape! A little sourness in the aftertaste. When you swallow it, the umami makes your back teeth tingle!
We compared the special junmai with different rice. There is not a big difference, but I learned that there are different elements that excel in key areas. As of today, I seem to prefer the Gohyakumangoku.
This time next year, I'll probably be repeating this at the liquor store "Kanadaya" in Urasa, Niigata. And what will I think when I read this comment again?

This is a limited sake from Kanadaya, a liquor store in Urasa. It is brewed from Ihyakumangoku. I compared it with Omachi raw sake, but I prefer this one. It has less sweetness and stubbornness that Omachi tends to have.
