I participated in the seminar at Kaze no Mori WEEKS again after consuming the ticket I received at the seminar.
Fruity sweetness and refreshing acidity
A slightly gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of apples, with a slightly unique aroma in the back that may be derived from the Yamahai method.
From the smooth mouthfeel, the full-bodied sweetness and umami of rice reminiscent of fruit spreads out, and the final touch of acidity keeps the taste refreshing without being dulled by the sweetness.
I feel that rice wine brewed in the Yamahai method tends to be richer in flavor than rice wine brewed in the Yamahai method.
We also tried it lukewarm to top-heated, and it was very tasty!
The fruity aroma of the ginjo is reserved and slightly refreshing.
The smooth mouthfeel is followed by the spread of soft rice flavor and sweetness, and finally complex flavors such as sourness and bitterness spread gradually.
Although it is a junmai ginjo, I personally prefer it at room temperature.
Gorgeous, refreshing aroma reminiscent of apples and flowers.
The smooth mouthfeel is followed by a mellow rice sweetness, but the lingering acidity and bitterness make it easy to drink without becoming cloyingly sweet.
We participated in the lottery for the Shinshu Kamerei using Hitogokochi produced in Tozawa, which is a Jizuya Miyajima exclusive, and were surprised to win (of course we thought we would fail...).
The only sake rice in the Shinshu Kamerei series that is grown in the same water system as the brewing water.
A clear and gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of apples, as usual.
The clear and clean mouthfeel with a slight gassy sensation, followed by the spread of juicy rice sweetness and umami like fresh fruit, and then it finishes with a refreshing acidity.
When opened, it has a mild aroma derived from rice, but as it settles down, it reveals a gorgeous aroma.
The light, carbonated mouthfeel is followed by the plump, juicy rice flavor and sweetness that is typical of orikarami.
Probably the first cup brewed with Omachi from Fukuoka Prefecture.
Gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of melon.
The palate is clear but rounded, with a full rice flavor and sweetness that spreads out and then recedes quickly with a lingering acidity like an undertow.
Slightly subdued ginjo aroma with just the right amount of flamboyance.
The clear, clean mouthfeel, with a slight gassy sensation, spreads juicy flavor and sweetness, like biting into an apple, and finishes with acidity.
At the Takashimaya Sake Event
It was great to have a little chat with Mr. Yamamoto, the toji (master brewer)!
The sake was delicious, with its usual refreshing acidity and juicy sweetness!
Good evening, Mr. Orfevre!
Twilight Orange, it's delicious 😋.
I may have been pulled in by the label, but I certainly feel the orange - I was shocked at the technology that could create this flavor with sake ingredients 🤗.
Nabeshima new item after a long time!
The aroma is milder than usual because it is from the Classic series.
The nose is clean with a slight gasiness, followed by a round, fruity rice flavor and sweetness, ending with a firm acidity and a clean, crisp finish.
Overall, the acidity is a bit strong, almost like white grapes.
The acidity is relatively strong among Nabeshima wines.
Recently, they have been releasing a variety of sake rice in the special junmai class, so I have high expectations for them in the future!
