I bought it because my child's name has the character for virtue in it lol. I was surprised by the color when I put it in a glass. The best thing about this product is the fact that it is made in Indonesia. I'm not sure if I've had enough, so I opened this bottle, but my face is starting to go numb 🤪 lol

Junmai Daiginjo for the brewery's 170th anniversary Thankfully, I was given a sample of three different rice wines to compare... Yeah, they're the same! I tried to guess blindly, but I couldn't hit anything... What they have in common is Mellow, fruity, sweet and juicy Lightly caramelized flavor. The differences, to put it bluntly Hitanishiki: strawberry flavor and clarity Miyamanishiki: Sharp aroma Hachitan-Nishiki: Strong sweetness with bitterness and astringency in the aftertaste According to the internet, Hitachi Nishiki is made with No.18 yeast, while Miyamanishiki and Hachitan Nishiki are a blend of No.18 and No.14 yeast...heh! I realize that I am still a young man who needs more training! But it was delicious!

I tried it heated today ...... and it's good heated, very good, very good. The acidity is very good! It has a nice lingering aftertaste. It lingers well, but the spiciness is also noticeable. Everyone loves the Character's Cup. Sakaitachi, the mascot of Sakaimachi, Ibaraki Prefecture. This is the 630th one-cup, one-pack festival.

A regular customer from Kyoto brought in some sake to share with us! At first, the sweetness of the rice was strong even though it was a daiginjo, but gradually the acidity started to assert itself! Even so, like a daiginjo, it has a clean aftertaste, so you can easily drink it!

Memories of Nikko Trip. Katayama Sake Brewery A small, family-run sake brewery founded in 1871. The brewery is known as a "craftsman brewery" that insists on traditional handcrafting and long-term low-temperature fermentation, The brewery is known as a "craftsman brewery" that insists on traditional handmade sake and long-term low-temperature fermentation. As the name implies, the brewery's sake is "true face," filled with Nikko's mountain water and craftsmanship. It is a rewarding sake with no harsh taste, a strong umami flavor, and a good sharpness.

Japanese>English

The last stop on our Nikko train trip was the real face of Katayama Sake Brewery. We visited the brewery and had a tour. It is a small brewery and the cold brewing process is about to begin. The brewer who guided us around the brewery told us that the sake is carefully brewed using the Sase method. The fourth photo shows the sake being squeezed in the vat. The alcohol content is 19%, so the sake has a certain weight, but I did not feel much alcohol. The Junmai is sitting in the fridge, so I am looking forward to that as well 😊.

At a soba noodle restaurant, my husband had a little share of the drink.â Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol 15 Classic taste of rice flavor. It has a twangy feeling, but when drunk with chicken tempura, it tastes just right and is delicious ♡♡♡♡♡♡. The 2nd and 3rd pictures are paintings that are OK to photograph ✨.

Japanese>English

Rice used is unknown It is a unique sake. The palate has a moderate sweetness, but not so much that it can be described as dry. The umami spreads slowly, The acidity is very effective and tight. It is not peculiar, but it is a type that cannot be tasted anywhere else. I like this balance and sense of taste. Interesting sake, I found it: ❣️

Japanese>English

This is also our first time to visit this brewery. I'm glad to see that they have a lot of unpasteurized sake. I completely forgot about the bad things at work and went into drinking mode. Just like the label on the back, this sake has a lot of flavor, but it's not heavy. Even though it was nigori, it didn't feel sloppy. It was an easy to drink sake.

Aomori Sake Inamuraya I used to drink outside. Special Junmai was done. There are not many check-ins for this sake. It's a sake from Aomori, so... This time, we've been taking our time with the fruity sakes we've been enjoying lately, and this one is freshly brewed and dry. It's a bit of a quirk, but it's very crisp and clean. I don't heat sake. I don't warm sake, but I thought it was good. I thought it was good. It's also good when it's settled down. It's also good when it's settled down.
