This is a junmai sake from the north of the Kinjitake Brewery. The sweetness comes from the mild umami. It is a delicious sake with a good acidity followed by a bitter taste. I had it at room temperature. It is a good one👍🍶🎶.

Classical but good for eating ❗

Junmai Unfiltered Unrefined Nama Sake🍶🍶Tokubetsu A Yamadanishiki🌾 from Yoshikawa, Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture. Mellow and mature 😳. Ester in the mouth. It might be good warmed up 🤔. If you drink it after eating Kanpachi, it will soften the sensation. It's a great match with sour pike conger eel tempura with ume plum paste. Rural House Alori @ Kitaurawa 20230729

Myokayama is my first time. I bought it with Yume brew. The impression is that the acidity is strong at first. The rice is sweet and fresh. It has a little bit of cemedine. I would like to drink it with nabe (hot pot) or strong dishes. I did some research on this brewery and found out that it is owned by Oizumi, a pachislot-related company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It seems that Oizumi has a chain of izakaya (Japanese style pubs) and they serve sake there. It seems to have lost its cemedine taste and become sweeter than when I first opened it.

Japanese>English

a four-ounce bottle about a glass It is sweet, slightly carbonated and very easy to drink. I think even people who don't like alcohol will say this is delicious. This is my friend's sake too, but I want to buy some myself and drink it all up! There is no word in my dictionary that says "put it to sleep" (laughs)!

At Unaichi in Shin-Tokorozawa Yuboshi: Slightly dry (maybe because it's chilled), but a little sweet and tasty.

Japanese>English

Juicy aroma reminiscent of pears and ripe apricots. The rich flavor and sweetness of the Omachi grape, as well as the fresh and powerful taste of the unpasteurized sake, make this a very appealing wine. The firm acidity keeps the aftertaste clean and tight, making it an excellent partner for a wide range of dishes, including sashimi, herb-infused meat dishes, white meat fish carpaccio, and cream pasta.

Cheers to the ministry at the conveyor belt sushi restaurant! I had the afternoon off, so I went to a nearby sushi restaurant and had a little sake. I had no choice but to drink this sake. It is 180ml, so it ran out quickly. It was 180 ml, so it ran out quickly. I was hoping that they would have a few more kinds of sake on hand, so I could enjoy it more. Kuh

Well, well, well... We had a cup of sake. I had a cup of sake. The aroma is gorgeous, and when you drink it, it's a delicious fruity sake 😀 The alcohol content is high, but at 200ml, it's a perfect size to drink. 👍️

〰fixture Association Yeast No. 601 🌾Weighing: Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture 2021/03 The umami of rice, which is typical of junmai, comes in softly. The astringent bitterness comes quickly. The bitterness is quite bitter.

Japanese>English

The first ooki tree When I hear the word "Yamahai," I have an image of strong acidity. This one, as usual, was characterized by its sharp acidity. The top-tasting aroma has a sense of sake behind the acidity. The mouthfeel is rather light, probably due to the crisp acidity. The flavor is not as strong as it should be. The aftertaste is full of sake-like aftertaste, followed by sourness and a strong bitterness. A closer look reveals that it is 18 degrees Celsius. No wonder it hits the back of the throat so hard. Moderately heavy! Thank you very much for the drink!

This sake was tasted along with the Junmai Ginjo I posted earlier. We were there when the store opened on the first day of tasting and sales, so all the sakes were unsealed, so we were able to sample them in fresh condition. I recommend going on Wednesday when the store opens 😆. It is Rokumaru with 60% rice polishing ratio. It is the same as Shinomine. It has more richness and umami than Junmai Ginjo. It is suitable for warming up.

A little bitterness on the nose and bitterness on the tongue. It tastes a bit like old-fashioned sake. However, it goes well with boiled fish. It is like a flavorful addition to fish. It would have been nice to have some local fish, but since we were drinking at home...
