Souvenirs of Saga 🤗Chapter 1
The top aroma is like red miso or buckwheat flower honey, the type I haven't tasted lately. 〰︎
As the temperature loosens up, it has a fruity bitter chocolate flavor with a strong acidity 😚 I thought I remembered smelling that aroma of BASE BREAD chocolate somewhere 😚 It seems to be a slightly classical rich dry type, but it had an interesting flavor........
I almost ate too much of it because the oily fried squid geso tasted strangely delicious 😅.
Thanks for the food!

Umenomado Special Junmai
3㌥ I tasted and bought this at the Sake Expo held at the Kintetsu Main Store in Abeno Harukas.
I actually had it yesterday, but since it is a special junmai, I compared the two.
We will drink it cold.
The color is clear and almost colorless.
The top aroma is mild and not very noticeable.
The taste has a robust rice flavor, sweetness, and a nutty, chocolate-like complexity. It is rich and mellow, but compared to Saka, it has a more traditional country-style flavor.
The aroma on the nose is bitter and chocolatey.
By the second day, the chocolaty flavor has settled down, and a clear, mineral, full flavor emerges, making it easier to drink.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 15 to 16 degrees Celsius

Saka Tokubetsu Junmai Nama Nama Zake.
Purchased after tasting at the Sake Expo held at the Kintetsu Main Store in Abeno Harukas. Saka is a new brand, and is apparently better known as "Ume" (window plum).
It is served cold.
The color is clear with a slight yellowish tinge.
The top aroma is mild, with a slight hint of alcohol.
The mouthfeel is smooth with a slight flocculation, and it does not feel fresh to the extent that it should.
On the palate, there is a little bit of juicy acidity, a little bit of tangy alcohol, and a nutty, full flavor that spreads.
The aftertaste is a bit of a sharp spiciness, with a slight throat hit after swallowing.
I bought it thinking it would be sweeter and more umami, but it was surprisingly dryer than I expected. I may have fallen for a bit of tasting magic.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Rice polishing ratio: 59
Alcohol content:16
