Orfevre
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.

One more drink to compare The Tsukishita Muyo series has a robust flavor, so I prefer this one for the coming season.

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!

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!
