This is the Ageha no Mai Junmai Sake Gin no Sato. It is a sweet and delicious sake with a mild fruity aroma and a refreshing taste.
Japanese

English
The smell is slightly alcoholic, with a hint of grapes when stirred. Taste is thick and juicy on the tongue, and the fruitiness quickly fades from the rice flavor, leaving a bitter aftertaste. The bitterness lingers for a long time. It is as if it is expressing the feeling of drinking the wine with the sound of "chiri-chiri-chiri-kuchi-kuchi-soon. There is no gassy feeling. Delicious with yatsuhashi.

Next was a Hiroshima sake called HANAHATO. It is a junmai ginjo made from 100% Senbon-Nishiki. The label is a rabbit, the Chinese zodiac sign for the New Year. Actually, this and the next brand were given to me by another business partner. We met next to each other at a meeting, drank together at the dinner table, talked about sake, and had a great time. We are also regular customers of Gin no Sake Kibune, and we receive items purchased from there every time we visit. m(_ _)m The taste is soft and sweet. The taste is soft sweetness with a hint of umami on top. It is a beautiful tasting food sake. Everyone drank it with smiling faces. It was delicious! (^O^)

It is brewed with 90% polished Yamada-Nishiki from Akita Prefecture and low rice polishing 🍶 It is clear and has a Jungin class finish without any tang. The aroma is fruity with hints of muscat, and the balance of sweetness, spiciness, and crispness is good.

(pq´v`*)🍶🍶🍶+ Sakeiki Daigo All-you-can-drink course 🔥 No.14 I asked the waitress for a recommendation and had Musho for the first time 😀. By this time my memory was questionable 💦. It had a gentle taste and was beautifully light 😚 It had a mild sweetness and acidity before ending with a gentle bitterness 😚....

My first unsouled ministry️. The name is cool! As it says "Dry Junmai", it's very dry 😆. If you drink it with oily food, you can enjoy it.

Then, the second one given to me by Uma Uma Uma: ‼️ I opened the bottle thinking that someone had been drinking this Zikkok recently! This one is dry, but it goes well with anything during a meal. It goes great with takowasato (octopus balls) 😋 and it just won't stop!

New brand Jyuseki🪨. Sake rice "Celebration" is also a first🌾. First day. Good balance of sweetness, umami and acidity✨ Second day. Umami is rich and ⤴️ quite thick. It was also delicious heated. I'm not sure if this is a Gekkeikan group company or not. It's an authentic Kyoto-style sake.

Soba Kaiseki at Tachiaigawa Yoshidaya. We opened a bottle of Shinmasa and wanted to drink some more, so we chose a sake from Kyoto with which we have little connection. It is a sake called "Jyuseki. It has a very elegant taste, which is a testament to the rice and water used in Kyoto. It has a soft texture, with a slight sweetness and umami spreading in the mouth, and even though I was drunk on the Shinmasa, the taste remained on my tongue. We paired it with soba noodles, which matched beautifully and complemented the new soba. It was very delicious! (^^)/

🚢. The nice thing about tastings is that you can drink things that you might not think to buy in a four-pack. I don't often drink super dry, so I'll take this one since I'm in the mood for it. Since I've been drinking sweet sake so far, the dry sake makes me feel "kyuu" in my hungry stomach that hasn't had lunch😅. I wonder if it goes well with sashimi?

This month, I'm going to focus on Nara's local sake since I've been drinking from other prefectures for a while now 😬. The first one is Junmai Ginjo from Mitsumorosugi. This is the first time I've tried the kanji version of Mimuro, but it's calmer than the hiragana version, not too sweet and not too spicy. It lacks impact, but it's well balanced and easy to drink, making it an excellent food sake 😚 I enjoyed it with a side of sardine oil sardine🙏.

It is brewed in the Hekikumo brewery on the campus of Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine. On the campus of Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, we brewed Jundaizu at the Hekiun brewery. I admire the idea of brewing sake at a university. It has a fruity and refreshing sweetness. It is very easy to match with meals. On the 11th of next month, the first sake brewed by students "Hekiun" (Junmai Ginjo), the first sake I am very interested in it. I am very interested in it.

I bought a lot of things at Tokyu Hands Hokkaido Fair. I was so excited that I bought a lot of things such as Ika-meshi (squid rice), Ichigen's shrimp shio ramen, Hori's walnut rice cake, and Hanabatake's karintou. Unfortunately, there were only about three kinds of sake, so we chose this one. The impression I got from drinking it was that it was refreshing. It has a low alcohol content of 13 degrees, which makes it easy to drink. It's dry but not harsh, so even those who prefer sweetness can enjoy it. On the other hand, it can be said that it has a moderate personality, so if you match it with this dish, it will be perfect! I don't think there is anything like that. At any rate, I've conquered the northern land (´ω).

The taste of old-fashioned sake that you can feel slowly! When I drank it close to room temperature, I thought it was clean and dry in the mouth. The aftertaste has a richness like junmai sake. In addition, you can feel the alcohol and a little acidity. It seems to go especially well with dishes with soup stock! When I opened the bottle, I was drinking it in the wrong temperature range, but two days later, when I chilled it thoroughly, it was less dry and more clear! 2 days later, when I drank it well chilled, it seemed clearer!

Refill! Aromatic smell. The aromatic mouthfeel has a perfect balance of sweetness, bitterness, and umami. Although it is rich and has an alcohol content of 19%, there is no taste that sticks to you while drinking it, so you can drink it easily and be satisfied. It is delicious.

Cream, aged smell. The wine has a matured taste, but it is in harmony with the sweetness and is not hard to drink. Full-bodied, umami, stimulated by alcohol and acidity, it is refreshing yet tasty with a strong flavor! I hear that the raw sake smells even better!

Naohiko Noguchi Institute I wanted to try. Smells like caramel and grain. It has a dry, drinkable, honey-like sweetness, a strong flavor, powerful acidity, and a clean aftertaste with enough stimulation to numb the tongue. Delicious. Impact like a whiskey. The official recommendation is to drink it lukewarm (around 40 degrees Celsius). The warmer it is, the less stimulating it is. It is a great match for fish, and the fish becomes twice as good with the support. I should have bought another kind. Second day. The second day was also good.

I bought a bottle of Asakai at the supermarket for the first time in a long time. It's a little cold, so I had it warmed up. It has a nice sweetness to it. The accompaniment is black soybean edamame. It goes well with it.
