A gem brewed with sake rice "Guriyanto", which was once used as a gift rice for the Emperor.
I was surprised to find out that it is a Junmai Daiginjo, even though it claims to be Junmai!
A fresh and gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of lush meadows and apples!
From the clear mouthfeel, the rice flavor is lightly grainy, with a soft sweetness reminiscent of white peaches and a touch of sourness that finishes with a rather long aftertaste.
Another brand of Takagaki Shuzo, which brews Ryujinmaru
Mild ginjo aroma with a hint of brown sugar and caramel behind the graininess.
Soft and smooth on the palate, with a voluptuous sweetness that spreads and tightens with a refreshing acidity.
When warmed to human body temperature, the acidity becomes more pronounced and the flavor sharper.
The robust taste makes it a good match for stewed dishes.
It's been a while since I've had a drink, so I stopped off at Ueda on the way back from a trip to Kanto and bought this one.
The ginjo aroma is gorgeous and fresh, reminiscent of apples.
Smooth and clean on the palate, with a slightly voluminous umami and sweetness like biting into a juicy fruit, and finishing crisp and light with sharp acidity and bitterness.
I haven't had it in about a year, but it is still consistently delicious!
I wish there were more distributors near me...
Slightly floral aroma reminiscent of grapes.
The clear and slightly gaseous mouthfeel is followed by a mellow rice flavor and sweetness reminiscent of juicy fruit, and then it finishes with a refreshingly light and refreshing acidity.
It was very tasty as it has been talked about recently!
A clear and gorgeous ginjo aroma reminiscent of strawberries.
From the clear and beautiful mouthfeel, the elegant and voluptuous sweetness and umami that is typical of Aizan spreads, and then tightens up with a lingering acidity.
PB product of Ryujinmaru Junmai Sake
While Ryujinmaru is unfiltered raw sake, this one is fire-added and watered.
The aroma is mild, as is typical of junmai sake.
The rich brown sugar-like rice flavor and sweetness spread out, with a hint of sourness in the aftertaste.
This time it was served cold, but it would be delicious warmed up.
Yamazan is somewhat of a first for me when drinking at home.
Purchased at Koyama Shoten, a sacred place in the Kanto region after a long time since my last visit
The ginjo aroma has a refreshing acidity reminiscent of blue bananas.
Slightly gassy and thick on the palate, with a rich rice flavor and sweetness reminiscent of white grapes, and a lingering sourness and bitterness that makes it a very drinkable cup!
Good morning, Orfevre!
I just got Yamazan's Kinmonniki the other day and am looking forward to this sake 😋.
It's my first time to drink Kinmonniki sake too, so I'm looking forward to reading your review and seeing how well balanced it is 🤤.
