This Sake has a nice medium mouth feel and acidity to give a clean finish. The flavor reminds me of dried apricot with the sweetness of pear. The flavors feel rich and colorful.
At room temperature. The ginjo aroma has a slight apple, apricot, and hay aroma. It has a ginjo aroma with a hint of apple, apricot, and hay, and goes down the throat easily with a soft mouthfeel. It has a slight sweetness and bitterness, a light, clear acidity, followed by umami and full-bodied flavor. It has a gentle taste with a subdued aroma, somewhere between modern and classic. A light and refreshing aftertaste due to the effect of the alsobe and acidity. The calm taste that accompanies food gently makes you feel relaxed ๐.

I had wanted to drink it for a long time, but the timing was never quite right... The manager said it was his favorite drink in the restaurant! It is a pale yellow color with silver tints and a hint of green. It has a spicy top note with a hint of alcohol, but the aroma is very refreshing, perhaps because of the acidity. When you drink it, the slightly carbonated texture on the tongue is pleasant. There is not much noticeable aroma, but the acidity gives it a refreshing mouthfeel. It may not have much sweetness to begin with, but the acidity helps to make it dry. Despite its dryness, it has a strong flavor, which is probably due to the strong umami that can be tasted from start to finish. Dry sake is usually considered "spicy," but perhaps because of the strong umami, it does not feel too spicy. Interestingly, it is a sake that does not have much bitterness, which may be why it is so light and easy to drink despite its 17% alcohol content. This is seriously very, very good! I wouldn't say it's for everyone, but I think it's a must-try for sake drinkers who like umami!

Low-polished & sake yeast yeast As expected, it has a strong punch! The aftertaste is also bitter and punchy. โผ๏ธ It has a beautiful mouthfeel and a citrusy bitterness at the finish. It is easy to drink with just the right amount of sweetness. It was a unique and delicious sake with many different expressions. โฃ๏ธ

Rice used is Yamadanishiki After opening the bottle, I wondered if it would have been better if I had let it sit longer. I regret it after opening the bottle. Even as it is, it has a great balance of fruity and powerful, with a clean dry finish. โผ๏ธ However, it seemed to have a lot of potential to improve! It was delicious, but it was a waste of time!

The second drink at the Sacred Bar was "Kaguyahime," which is very Kyoto-like. It was fresh and sweet on the palate, so it went better with grilled white onions than sashimi.

Yamamoto Honke had a store at Sendai Mitsukoshi in conjunction with the Kyoto Exhibition. I look forward to Yamamoto Honke's "tarekuchi" every year at this time of the year, but it seems to take about one more week before it is shipped, so I did not get it this year either. The aroma is a fresh ginjo aroma. The mouthfeel is fruity, fresh, sweet, and juicy, with a light acidity and bitterness from the aftertaste of alcohol. It has a high quality, classical, and sharp taste, and is very satisfying to drink. Thank you very much!

A "sacred" store found near Nishiki Market in Kyoto. Great cold drink when you are finally able to sit down after a long day of walking ๐. It was slightly carbonated and went down my throat so well I didn't mind the 19% alcohol content ๐ . You can't tell the alcohol content in modern sakes. Beautiful construction.

At the Hakurei Sake Brewery booth, we were allowed to compare the Vivid series. This is the best part of the tasting event๐. Blue, green, and red, all delicious and interesting. I had a short chat with the brewery owner as well, as I had visited there before. Personally, I prefer the sweet red.

You like sake, don't you? A gift from my aunt. Thank you very much. For some reason, when I get sake as a souvenir, it is often extremely dry or has a high alcohol content๐ . And this time, it's a raw sake. The alcohol content is 18. This is my first time to drink it in a No. 5 bottle. Cold sake has a sweetness of rice, but it has a sharp taste. I tried heating it up. It has a very strong alcohol taste, but the softness and sweetness are more pronounced. Not bad. The third picture shows my second son, who just turned 5 years old, helping to chop the ingredients for the nabe. He was born in 2021, but I can only feel the Showa era ๐คฃ. He is a reserve army of drinkers who loves shabu-shabu more than hamburgers and is looking forward to the future.

Although it's next door, I haven't had Osaka's sake yet. I was thinking of Akishika or Katanozakura for Osaka, but I found this one at AEON today while shopping. There is no outstanding sweetness or spiciness, but a well-balanced taste. It's a good sake for eating. When I paired it with yuba and fried eggplant with sesame oil, I felt like I could drink as much as I wanted ๐. Good sake in the neighborhood too๐.

At home. First time in Gifu, Shirakawa-go. It's very thick, even among the nigorizake I've drunk. The aroma is like sweet sake. When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness of the rice and grain, and the sourness. The texture is tart and leaves a little residue on the tongue, but it's not unpleasant. I think it is best served on the rocks.

New sake is ready this year too ๐ถ๐ถShirakawa-go Junmai Nigori Sake. It is very thick. If you cool it down, it doesn't feel so sweet. There is a freshness at the back. The bitterness after the umami is also good. It is good with strong dishes. It is a delicious sake ๐.

After the decisive battle in Sekigahara, we were allowed to taste the nigorigo (a sweet sake). It was sweeter and tastier than Shirakawa-go, which I had drunk in the past. The sales clerk said it would be delicious as a sorbet. The only problem is that it has to be frozen ๐ค. I've been looking at the website and they have a 300ml bottle so I'm wondering if this one will fit in there.

OSAKA SAKE&FOOD EXPO 2024โณ Lastly, we went to the Komatsuya booth again. Nechi from Nechiozan, which is not seen very often. There were many different rice varieties, but we chose the Koshitanrei 1st class rice 2020. Nechi is only available at authorized dealers. It was easy to drink with a beautiful taste and a hint of sweetness. The review of this event was a bit of a mess, so please refer to Nechi's post later on ๐คฃ.

โโโโโ The second bottle of local sake is Nechiozan. This one is drier than Yukitsuru. But it does not interfere with the meal, yet it is still a strong sake. I think it is good.
