This bottle was recommended to me at a liquor store in Beppu on a trip to Oita.
According to the owner, it is very tasty and there are only a few of them.
The aroma is subdued, but it is very smooth and fruity. Fruity and smooth. Very easy to drink and beautiful.
300 ml went away in no time.
At the Bogazuru campsite in the Kujyu mountain range.
I drank Miyamanishiki before and enjoyed it very much.
Sweet and fruity like Aizan. There is no sense of gas. I have the impression that the atmosphere is quite different from that of Miyamanishiki. Both are delicious, though.
I enjoyed the Gantaku I drank before, so now I'm going to try Nadazou. A pleasant ginjo aroma. When you put it in your mouth, it is very clear and refreshing. Yet it has a deep flavor. It is an elegant and delicious sake.
Aroma: Banana. Taste is also ripe banana and caramel. It is quite sweet, but delicious without being tricky. It went better with cake than with a typical meal.
I am glad to be able to purchase it again this year.
The wine-like quality and balance is as good as ever. Very tasty. It was a little more refreshing than before, or was it just my imagination?
Relatively clean the first day; juicy from about the third day. It is delicious.
It was described as "lightly cloudy," but it was not particularly muddy.
The brewery was selling the sake at a liquor store in Tokyo Station.
I have had quite a few sake made from Hyogo's Yamadanishiki, but this was my first time drinking Hyogo sake itself.
The aroma was gorgeous, with a hint of gas. It has a good acidity and a firm profile. It also has a nice flavor.
Delicious.
Next was No. 7, a little more acidic than No. 6, which made me choke at first. There is no extreme difference between No. 6 and No. 7, and both are easy to drink.
It is not extremely different from No. 6, and it is easy to drink.
I don't usually do this, but I opened two bottles at the same time to compare.
The first was the No. 6 yeast. Moderate aroma. It has a clear and crisp aroma. More fruity than ricey. Very easy to drink and delicious.
Aizan, following Honorifuji, Yamadanishiki, and Akaban Yucho!
It is a little sweeter than the most recent Yumachi. It is true that Aizan is a sweet sake. It is easy to understand when you compare them at the same brewery.
I think Kaiun is more suited for a food sake, but Aizan is also delicious on its own.
In any case, all Kaiun sakes are delicious. I would like to keep this sake in my pantry.
Omachi, following Honorifuji and Yamadanishiki!
Slightly firm but clean taste. Excellent balance between fruity and rice feel. It is easy to match with meals.
Strong aroma. Pear. Slightly gluey on the first day. Fruity, but. Clean and crisp. Very tasty.
As the day goes on, it gets more angular and this is delicious.
