It is a luxurious junmai with Yamadanishiki from Hyogo Prefecture as the koji rice and Hiroshima Hachitanishiki as the kake rice.
The alcohol content is a gutsy 18 degrees! It reminded me a little of Tamagawa, but the handling is more graceful.
I think it would be interesting if I let it sit for a while, but it's so good, I'm not going to finish it.
The second co-infection dawns, and it's been a while since I've done it.
Mysterious fullness. A hint of bran? It has a hint of "nuka" and it is light and easy to drink.
It is easy to drink.
It's modern, but not too thin, so it's very satisfying.
Delicious. ❣️
It's made from special grade Yamada-Nishiki, polished to 40%.
Sweet as expected ❣️ but delicious 🥹.
It is composed of a single line of sweet and bitter that is full-bodied, nuka-ish, or akabu-ish.
I think I would prefer it cold.
It's delicious when the sweetness is so swept away too.
It was quite expensive, but now it's aged 😢.
It's my fault for overlooking the February shipment, but if the sake, even if it's a draft, is refrigerated (assuming the liquor store is taking good care of it), and it ages in a couple of months, it's going to be hard for me to get my hands on it next time.
It's a shame, because it would have been a really good sake.
It must be one of the most food-conscious of the eight senses. I am looking forward to it.
Mmmm, yummy! ❣️
The aroma is subdued, and while it's not quite dry, it's just about as dry as you can get in the lineup.
I'm satisfied with the taste, thinking it was designed for what it was intended for.
There was no squid, so I enjoyed it with fresh bonito.
Thanks for the comment, Manta 😊.
I like to eat bonito with rock salt and garlic slices: ❤️ For ponzu, Japanese mustard goes surprisingly well with it. ❣️ It also went well with isaribi: ☺️ Please give it a try!
I was rummaging around for reach-ins and was attracted to this no-pressure letter. Kurikoma Mountain may be my first time at home.
Yummmm!
It's like the old Tobiroki Tokusyu. It's like a sweetened, comforting taste of freshly cooked white rice. There is no aroma. That's what I like about it.
It's the kind of sake you drink slowly with a gulp.
Akabu Aishan last night.
The taste of Akabu as usual.
It is sweet and full-bodied, with little change from start to finish, and flows calmly.
Contrasting with Banshu Issen.
Last night's sake.
It is made from 100% Aizan produced in Banshu.
The sweetness that is typical of Aizan is a bit reserved, but instead the acidity is strong and the sake is sharp and crisp even when cold.
The production is top-notch. You can drink it and not feel any sticking point.
Banshu Issen is not available at liquor stores near me, so I don't often have a chance to buy it, but I would love to drink the hi-iru version.
BBQ in the garden, accompanied by Jungin, Red, from the Saku Impression series.
I hate to admit it. I don't like to admit that I made a mistake in my youth.
The world is already in the mood for GW, but I am working until today, so I am finally in the mood for consecutive holidays.
I like Junsei as much as Tomikunishiki Harimaji series. And I think this is the first time for me to drink Omachi.
The sweetness of the rice swells freshly as it is, and the spiciness flows quickly at the end of the bottle.
It is a pleasure to drink from the first sip to the moment of swallowing.
My daughter brought KitKat sake as a souvenir on a school trip.
It is said to be mixed with sake lees from Manjusen, but the taste is not so good😅.
Yukimi was also delicious.
But this Akagane is exceptionally bad.
The speed of amplification of umami is amazing, but the speed of sharpness is also outstanding because it's a sake made from a traditional sake brewery. ‼️ This is a bad-ass sake, really.
It's beautiful.
April is over. In the blink of an eye, 1/3 of the year is over.
That's how fast I get old, isn't it?
It is made with Aiyama Koji, but the Kakemai is Akita Sake Komachi.
Anyway, it is delicious. ‼️
It's a big difference from the light one of the low alcohol line.
It is easy to drink and 4GB is gone in a second.
I drink it every year, but this year it's not very fizzy.
Still, it's so fresh & clear that I can't imagine it being from that Tamagawa. The alcohol content is a little high. And the aftertaste is slightly bitter.
I enjoy it every year.
I'm tired today, so I'm going with the one that is guaranteed to taste good.
It's great. It's a little spicy when it's mixed with orikyo, but it has a great sharpness and a high minerality. I'm still impressed every time I drink it. ❣️
Yamada-Nishiki produced in Kitakata was transported to a rice mill in Tokyo and polished to 88%.
It is easy to drink, though it may be due to my physical condition. 13% ALC and not too heavy. However, on a day when you want to drink more, it may not be enough.
It's been a while since I've had it, so I bought it in 1SB,
It's pretty sweet!
Like sakuma style drops.
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'll give it to you as a reminder.
My favorite Tomikunishiki.
This is the first new sake from the Harimaji series.
Soft sweetness of rice.
It is fresh and flows refreshingly, yet satisfying!
Reaffirms my love for it after all.
Delicious. ❣️
The label design makes you want to buy the jackets.
The taste is not as pretty as the label.
It is mainly sweet, but the graininess is large.
The composition is rather straightforward, and a gulping cup is probably better suited than a glass.
There is a slight musty smell, but I think it will disappear after a little while after opening the bottle.
