Acidity

There is clearly more lees than the previous Yamadanishiki. When you take the supernatant first, the taste opens up from the beginning, with a thick umami and sweetness spreading. The Yamadanishiki Junmai Ginjo reached this state at room temperature, but this one's flavor comes through even at low temperatures. When the lees are stirred, a crisp acidity is added and the aftertaste becomes clear. The full-bodied aroma comes out of the nose, and the taste becomes highly complete at once. This one is also insanely delicious! I've been drinking a lot of Omachi sake lately, and I wonder if this complex and thick sweet flavor is a characteristic of Omachi.

Yamadanishiki ver. Compared to Omachi's lees sake, it is slightly more lees and has a 1% lower alcohol content (17%). The bottle size is also changed from 500ml for Omachi to No. 4. The aroma is like rice itself and rice malt. The pure sweetness that is typical of Yamadanishiki passes through the nostrils with a slightly thick texture, and there is a slight bitterness that seeps into the tongue. A slight bitterness seeps into the tongue and a tangy sourness on the tip of the tongue. The taste that spreads in multiple directions in the mouth is like a rocket firework. As the day goes by, the acidity will become more rounded and a sense of unity will emerge.

平成29年の九州北部豪雨で被災し、復活を遂げた井上酒造さん。そして専業主婦から50歳で杜氏へと転身された井上百合杜氏の渾身の一本。 飲む方も身が引き締まる思いです。 生酒らしいフレッシュな香り、酸度のおかげかマイナスに振れた日本酒度の割に旨口で、爽やかな後口でした。 初日はやや酸味が強い感じがしましたが、2日目は酸味が落ち着き、食事ともよく合いました。

😁. We were here for snow fencing at a ski lodge that we take care of in the winter. We will work a little in the morning, relax at Nagano station and go home. I will ask for a sake tasting set ☺️. The rightmost one is today's sake, Kisoji hiyaoroshi. The aroma is very strong and the taste is stable. You can tell how delicious the rice is. Delicious. Now, I'm going home to buy Gokotsuru. My back hurts from carrying so much stuff with bad posture💦.

Chiba's local sake 🍶 I had bought it in early spring touring 🏍️... forgot about it... I was thinking of a traditional mellow dry taste... .... I forgot about it...I thought it was a hybrid of old-fashioned and modern...not much aroma...the mouthfeel has the old-fashioned mellow, mellow, umami taste.... It's delicious 😋 Hey...it's a good food sake 🍶 and delicious 😋! This one! I feel it's evolving and deepening...delicious 😋.

My favorite local sake from MinamibosoThe drink has a light amber color and a faint aroma of Yamada Nishiki rice. You can feel the flavor of the rice. It's mellow, sweet and bitter, and it's fun to sip on it.

Today, I decided to have a little taste. This is Chiba Prefecture's Kobin. This is the second time. This time, it was decadent and raw, so I picked it up. The taste is classic but thin. It was too little to sense the others.

Year-end party, bring your own series 4, Hokuriku version. This is delicious. Japan and Hokuriku are very big. [Sakahomare is an original sake rice developed by Fukui Prefecture. It is very rare to find because of its small production. For this occasion, I went to Fukui to buy it. Sakahomare seems to be used for daiginjo, and many of them are expensive. If you don't consider the cost, it is really delicious. It has a mild aroma and elegant rice flavor. It is like a good sake, and the second and third cups are always better. In Fukui, there is also rice for rice called "Ichihomare," which is also delicious.

I had the 2nd day off after the New Year, but I worked from the 3rd to the 6th, including the night shift. I also went home to my family, so I went to a hot spring to work out and had my annual drink at my parents' house 😁. Snow Kirara ARA-SHIBORI [The top clear liquid.] Aroma of mellow rice flavor, fresh and smooth taste, sweetness, and a lingering aftertaste of freshness and alcohol, and finally bitterness on the tongue. [Nigori] Aroma of rich rice aroma, mellow sweetness, and a refreshing aftertaste. The impactful taste is followed by a refreshing aftertaste, just like the people who received this as a gift, just like the "gari" (pickled ginger) in sushi 🤣. Once you get used to drinking it, the mellow sweetness is irresistible! So, what shall I do this year🤔? I have the urge to visit various places in Japan, and I've been encouraged by the people at the Kansai Sake-no-wa Off-line meeting, so I'm thinking vaguely about organizing an Off-line meeting in the Hokuriku block ✨. If you have any comments or opinions, I would appreciate it if you could let me know 😀. The 4th picture is the first crescent moon of the year seen through a break in the clouds 🌛.

Snow Kirara was a summer gift from a colleague. I have never had this sake before, but I thought the size, the font on the label, the color, and the total cuteness of the sake 🩷. It was very easy to drink in this summer heat👍.

Home drinking. This is a dry sake for the Year of the Ox from Hachinohe Sake, and is used in full quantity. A refreshing pineapple with tropical fruit and sweet and sour aromas, a clean and light mouthfeel of melon and sweetness gurgles in the mouth, turning to a sweet rice flavor on the mid-palate and a long finish.

This is my favorite Hakutsuru 🍶. The black bottle with navy blue label is kind of cool 🥰. It is sold only in Aomori. The first aroma is slightly sweet. The palate has a full-bodied sweet flavor that is typical of Hanafukuyuki. It has a beautiful mouthfeel, partly due to the 50% polishing. The sharpness is not bad either. I want to buy a bottle next year and drink it carefully 🤔.

I ordered this because they said the money for this will be donated to the Noto earthquake. It will be hot 🍶. Oh no, there was only one left when I thought this was the Mexicali Tempura. It doesn't feel special, but it's a nice sake that goes perfectly with a meal. It wasn't stingy at all. I can't read the label. It's black, which is what a beginner in calligraphy did.

It is a dry sake with a crisp, mellow flavor from the ginjo brewing and junmai brewing. Although it is dry, you will not feel the dryness, and it becomes softer when heated. Excellent with sashimi, sushi and other fish dishes.

Summer sake already. I know it's a seasonal bug, but isn't it too early for seasonal products too? It is crisp. It has a nice sharpness. It's like summer sake. Personally, I prefer it a little livelier.

Special Junmai-shu with 60% polished rice ratio This sake is brewed by the method called "Jusui-Jikomi". When poured into a glass, there is a strong ginjo aroma at first. When you take a sip, it is mellow and full. It is full of umami and sweetness, and has a rich taste. It's a flavor that will knock your socks off! This is a limited version of "Tokusui Junmai-shu". The sake is bottled and sealed as soon as possible after bottling, so it can only be tasted at the mouth of the tank. It is said to be a rare gem with a limited distribution. It's delicious!
