Michisakari春出し生 純米大吟醸 超辛口
15
DanchanThe aroma is not that pervasive. As it is claimed to be super dry, it is indeed crisp on the palate, with sweetness and flavor spreading in the mouth. It leaves a dry aftertaste in the throat. On the other hand, if you ask me if it is a Junmai Daiginjo, I can't say. Perhaps we are living in an age where the rice polishing ratio is no longer the benchmark for sake quality and taste.

DanchanIt has a refreshing and dry mouthfeel, with a sweetness and umami that comes later. Overall, it is a dry Junmaishu. The sake brewery's technical skills are evident.

DanchanWhen I was browsing at a local liquor store, I saw that Kamonishiki was available for less than 1,000 yen, so I decided to buy it right away and opened it as soon as I got home. This may be the first time for me to drink Junmai Ginjo at room temperature at home. The sweetness and umami of the rice are strong on the palate. It doesn't have an expansive aroma, but I think it brings out the best of the rice.

Wa蔵明け うすにごり 生酒

DanchanI bought it on the recommendation of my favorite liquor store. It was said to have the aroma of La France, and indeed, it had a strong fruity aroma and sweetness. On the other hand, the crisp and dry aftertaste contained some miscellaneous flavors, so it was undeniably lacking in overall cohesiveness.

DanchanThe mouthfeel is fresh and dry. The fizzy feeling gradually increases later on. As you would expect from Kaze no Mori, it is very stable. I drank it all at once.

DanchanThe aroma is mellow, the mouthfeel is refreshing and dry, and the sweetness and flavor are gradually overwhelming while maintaining the dryness on the tongue. The taste is unlike anything I've ever tasted. I wonder if this is the fruit of domestication.

DanchanThe subtle fruity top notes are very impressive. Even though it was produced a year ago, the fine bubbles at the bottom of the glass show its high quality. The bubbles are refreshing and dry on the tongue as well.

DanchanThe freshness and frothiness of this wine is so great that it's almost as if you're drinking a living alcoholic beverage. Plus, the sharpness of the aftertaste is vibrant on the tongue. It's muddled sake at its finest!

re:echoCalmer
21
DanchanIt is said that this sake was created as a dessert sake. Indeed, the sweet and sourness of the Amao, the milkiness of the burrata, the richness of the cream, and the refreshing taste of the re:echo all work together to create a subtle harmony in your mouth. To think that sake has come to be enjoyed with dessert... it's an amazing evolution!
