It has a strong sweet umami taste, but the aftertaste is light.
The umami is not too strong.
But it is easy to drink and delicious.
Yume-no-Kou 100% (dreamy aroma)
The aroma is melon-like.
It is filled with sweetness and umami, but the aftertaste is bitter and sharp.
It is delicious, and I think it is one of my favorites among Sharaku.
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.
