First snowball.
The aroma is cloudy and common.
It is quite habitual, mild and easy to drink.
Slightly sour, but not unpleasantly so.
It is tasty, but I personally prefer it after the bottle has been opened.
Domaine Sakura, 100% Yamadanishiki (produced in Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture)
Muscat-like aroma, with a bitter taste from the umami that is sharp.
The aroma is somewhat similar to that of Murayu?
2024②②A
100% Dewanosato
Yamagata yeast
Sake meter degree -5.0
Acidity 1.5
Amino acidity 0.3
Good aroma, but strong acidity? But the umami is strong.
As expected from Yamama, it is delicious.
It has been in the refrigerator for more than half a year, so the taste may change.
100% Takane-nishiki from Niigata Prefecture is used.
The aroma is fresh fruit.
While it has a fruity and umami taste, the aftertaste is refreshing due to the unique acidity and gasiness of the white malted rice.
As I said, this is my personal favorite sake among the Shinmasa brands (although I have never had no.6).
100% Modified Shinko (harvested in 2022 in Akita Prefecture)
Association No. 6 yeast
Wooden vats (No.8 and No.9)
Produced in 2023.10
Aroma: Slightly ricey? A fishy smell? A little raw? Is it a storage problem at the distributor? It seems that the warehouse ships in May, so it may be a storage problem, unfortunately.
It is delicious with a good flavor and slight carbonation, so it might be better with snacks to cover up the aroma.
Less aroma and juiciness?
It has a strong sense of refreshingness due to the high percentage of shavings (29%), but the gorgeousness and umami taste can be felt deep in the back.
It may be more effective when paired with food than with sake alone.
So no Mai 29
The supernatant is easy to drink with the best balance of gasiness, sweetness, umami, and bitterness.
The flavor seems to increase when mixed with corkage.
The sweetness and umami of the Murasuke are strong. The acidity is also surprisingly effective.
Do you think it was better last year? But the taste of Murayusuke is still there.
The supernatant is refreshingly piquant with a touch of sweetness, making it very easy to drink.
When mixed with ori, the sourness comes out, which is also delicious.
