Kaishun純米超辛口純米生酒中取り袋吊り

I imagined it to be super dry at +14, but it had a mellow, robust flavor with an amino acidity of 1.5 and an acidity of 2.0, probably due to its junmai status. The crisp acidity then filled my mouth and disappeared down my throat with a refreshing taste. It is a small brewery in Ota City, Shimane Prefecture, with a production of only 400 koku, and they aim to create distinctive sake with a rich individuality, rather than aiming for everyone's taste buds. As far as I can tell, it's a little bit like "Roku Roku" (as far as I can tell), but not as good as "KAWARA ni Go. The rice is "Kaminomai" produced in Shimane Prefecture, a cross between Gohyakumangoku and Miyamanishiki. It was delicious ^ ^.

A small brewery in Fushimi that was once closed and reestablished in 2002. Everything is handmade. It has a mild mouthfeel and firm flavor. The acidity is not so strong, but the aftertaste is light and refreshing. Ideal as a mid-meal sake.

Chosen to get over this heat in a cool way. The moment you put it in your mouth, you will feel the rich flavor. Is it a special junmai? It is a Junmai Daiginjo. After that, the gasiness, light sweetness, and light aroma fill the mouth and go down the throat. A summer sake from the Shibata series. I paired it with simmered yellowtail kama ^ ^.

Even though it is a summer sake, it is not "light nigori," but rather a stiff nigori with a fine, unrefined texture. It is a heavy sake, but it has a light gasiness and a sweet and sour aroma and flavor reminiscent of lactic acid fermented products, making it refreshing and easy to drink. It is a summer sake after all! The gap between the preconceived notion of the appearance and the actual mouthfeel is astonishing ^ ^.

I met "seven" in July. The rice is polished to a fine, flat rice. The green color on the label is a melon. The "S" in "Seven" is a melon. It has a mellow flavor with a high aroma and a gaseous taste. We matched it with fried vegetable skewers. It is rich, mellow, and never ending! It was so good ^ ^. By the way, what is the rice of Seven?

100% Special A Tojo Yamadanishiki, in-house cultivated yeast and Oigawa subsoil water. Sake is all about rice, yeast, and water! The mild fruity aroma and light acidity wafts into the mouth, and the deep umami spreads out and quickly removes the fat from the snacks. I guess it's the chutoro (medium fatty tuna) to go with it.

I happened to come across this hard-to-find gem, which is sold out quickly at the brewery and at a few distributors. It has a fruity aroma with a bit of sourness in a full-bodied and sharp taste. The pineapple flavor that is often mentioned for this brand is not so noticeable. Now, I wondered what to serve with it. I tried it with horse sashimi (red meat) shipped directly from Aizu! The spicy miso paste did not go well with it, so I changed it to ginger. No, no, it might be better to enjoy this with a side dish that does not disturb the sake, or with nothing at all ^ ^.

If you're going to do it with fish," he said, "it should be hikakami. I thought that only a fish with good oil content could show the true quality of this sake, so I went off to the side and paired it with the oil from a pork fillet kushikatsu (pork cutlet). The sake has a soft flavor and a clear sharpness that only a ginjo can provide. The light acidity of the sake's throat washed away the oiliness of the kushikatsu. I would like to enjoy this sake not only with fish, but also with a variety of other meals! But is it too much of a waste or extravagance not to pair it with fish? ^?

Summer sake to dodge the heat and humidity with the deliciousness of sake! It is said to be separately enclosed with special preparation and storage. The "Responsible Brewing" is one of Kagiya's unique names, such as "Extra" and "Limited Senbatsu". A young brewer was entrusted by the toji to brew this sake on his own responsibility. It is a little cloudy and shwashy. It was like a fat squash. This heat shatters the coolness of summer sake. It was perfect with slightly sweet boiled scorpion fish ^ ^ ^.

The aroma from the "mokkiri" poured over the opening of the mouth is amazing, and the aroma flies from the place where it was poured! The mellow flavor mixed with a slightly rounded acidity and aroma spreads in the mouth and fills even the nostrils. It is a special honjozo made with homemade pure rice sake lees shochu. Perhaps because of this, a firm fruitiness can be seen deep within the umami. This must be the standard of Jyushidai. It used to be available at a normal price, but now it is very hard to find it in general distribution (TT).

It is neither unfiltered, unpasteurized, nor undiluted, but the base line of special junmai. The taste, aroma, and quality of the sake are not pedantic. Yet, the deep and gentle umami is evident. This is a gem that will further heighten your enjoyment of food. Now I want to try it with a thick slice of rare roast beef.

The glossy 🌈 iridescent-colored Kabuto-mushi reminds one of a clear summer sake. Sharp acidity is light, refreshing and magnificent. Maybe the best match to accompany BBQ ^ ^. The label reads, "When was your boyhood? Climbing up the hill behind the house in the morning to catch insects, and going down to the beach at noon to swim in the sea. The sea wind and the mountain wind would switch twice a day, and it would be a heavy, windless calm. I was living without an air conditioner, but I don't remember it being as hot as it is now," he thought as he drank alone.

While it has a crisp mouthfeel and moderate acidity, a firm body of umami flavor envelopes the entire bottle. When we tried it with a low-temperature, slow-fried top loin cutlet, it was the best match for the fat of the loin ^ ^. It was the perfect accompaniment to replenish energy in early summer.

Suzuka in Mie Prefecture has been a sake brewery since time immemorial. The delicious sake Suzukakuni. Why "zaku" and not "saku"? If you know, please tell us. The moment it hits your mouth, the mellow flavor fills your mouth, and when it goes down your throat, it goes down smoothly, leaving the sweetness and aroma of the rice behind. It is as delicious as its reputation!

Hi, maz-san. Zaku" is delicious, isn't it😊. I love Mie sake for its gorgeous aroma, sweetness and umami, but I'm really into "Zakka" and Jikkomai.

ma-ki. Thank you for your comment. Jikin is also delicious, isn't it? It's hard to find a small restaurant in my neighborhood that carries it. .... Whenever I see it, I jump at it ^ ^.

I saw maz's post and again wondered why "zak"? I was wondering why "zaku"? It seems that "zaku" was chosen instead of "saku" because it might be easier to pronounce overseas as well. You have a lot of thoughts from the naming.

MA-KI-. I see. So you are globally oriented. It is wonderful that many companies can only focus on the Galapagos market. I hope sake will spread around the world like wine.
