It is dry with a clean taste and aroma. The aroma of rice gradually becomes apparent. I think it is good to pair it with non-greasy dishes and tzumami.
This is delicious! The acidity and slight sweetness make it seem like a white wine, but the bitterness and the smell of sake come through later. I drank it in a clear glass so I could see the bubbles.
PS: It's probably best right after opening. If you leave it for a few days after opening the bottle, the taste will change a lot.
The name of the sake was taken from the old landlady, and I imagined it would taste like a mature woman, but it had a pear-like aroma and a fresh taste. It's slightly sweet and bitter, and it's refreshing, but it also tastes like rice. What's more, the rice polishing ratio is 70%? Affordable and delicious. I can't stop drinking it, and I can see why it's so popular!
It was labeled on the sales floor as fruity sweet with a pear aroma. It has more of a pear aroma and aftertaste. It's a refreshing sake that's a fruity version of Hakkaisan!
The taste is fruity, slightly sweet and refreshing, then spicy and bitter. I feel I have learned a new way to enjoy the taste. 100% Yamada Nishiki
The stone that is placed is a visualization of the taste 😉.
The water that came through the slippery obsidian is soft water that does not contain much minerals. This sake has a double-edged sharpness, with spiciness in the sweetness and sweetness in the spiciness. I wonder?
A sake that smells light and gentle. Not the perfume of roses, but the raw smell that seems to attract butterflies, like the scent of first love? I like this feeling.
When you sip the sake, it spreads in your mouth and is absorbed by your tongue and throat like water seeping into the ground before you drink it. You're supposed to leave some and drink it with a friend, but you end up drinking it all... a strange brew that your body absorbs!
I was told that a new female toji (brewer) had arrived. The old Kawatsuru, if I remember correctly, had a rich taste similar to Iwate's Kikunoji.
This time, it has the petite texture, fresh sweetness, bitterness, and faint acidity that only unpasteurized sake can have. The aroma and taste are refreshing and easy to drink!
This sake is made by Sawanoi in Tokyo, who is known for their Sawani logo. It is more expensive than the dry junmai and tokubetsu junmai you can sometimes find in liquor stores in Tokyo, and it comes in a box! The mouthfeel is crisp and smooth, with a light acidity and a taste of rice that is almost like old sake.
The taste is so intense that it is hard to believe that the rice is polished to 40%. It's been a long time since the bottle was opened," said our senior staff member. The taste of raw sake changes, so I'd like to taste a new bottle over the next three days or so!
This is a Yamada Nishiki sake that is not disclosed to many people. Probably Junmai Daiginjo. It has a dry and elegant taste and aroma. We want to pair it with seafood that is not too oily. It would go well with sakatome and shiokara.
If Katsuyama's Wagtails has the aroma and sweetness of muskmelon, this one has the aroma and aftertaste of prince melon! This is a lower priced version with the aroma and aftertaste of a prince melon! However, it is about 1/4 of the price of other Junmai-shu that we usually drink.
Katsuyama is delicious.
