It seems to be a summer version with less sweetness. However, it is sweet and sour enough.
I prefer it to be sweet, so should I try the winter version next time?
Kitashizuku Junmai Daiginjo.
This is a wonderful bottle that shows the best of Nabeshima. The aroma, the sweetness and the sharpness are all excellent.
Designed to be low alcohol. The brewery touts the use of hard water, and that characteristic is emphasized by the low alcohol content, making this a great bottle.
Tsukikage. It has a strong lactic acid taste, and the price is a bit high, but it is delicious. The theme of the sake brewery differs greatly from brand to brand, so there are some that you may not like, but in general it is interesting and I like the label.
It's good. This is good. I have no complaints. Compared to last year, the acidity is stronger, but not so much that the sweetness is diminished, and the impression is that the balance has become better.
Meaning to make Kimoto. The challenge of making Takasago while still having Jikoma is great, but it's like what does it add? Also, it is expensive. It's hard to say if it's worth it or not, but it's delicious.
It is one of the bottles which aimed at the low alcohol raw sake of Tanaka Rokugo.
Although it is low alcohol, there is a strength and bitterness that does not let you feel it. Durability is low.
Japanese sake.
It is a sake for Japanese food and a noble sake supervised by a sake sommelier. The taste is a bit complicated as well as the information is complicated. Although it is a noble sake, the durability is quite low, the sweetness is almost zero, and the bitterness and a little acidity are emphasized.
Niidashi Zensyu.O.K.
This is one of the bottles that challenged the wooden vat. It is relatively soft on the palate and goes in easily, but it has acidity, a hint of sweetness, and a complexity that seems to come from the wooden vat, making it a good sake on its own and easy to pair with food.
130th anniversary sake. Olive yeast. It has almost no sweetness, and is quite acidic, but it is a far cry from the tougher sakes that are said to be good for heating. If you drink it very cold, the acidity is suppressed and the aftertaste becomes more pronounced. It's an interesting sake that changes its appearance depending on the temperature.
Ikumi. I drank it last year and it was good, so I bought it again this year. It is not a traditional sake, but it has a good acidity and a good sweetness. It's not a sake to pair with food, but it's a good sake to drink by itself.
Junmai Hiyoroshi. It is a little disappointing that the aroma has become more melon, but it is quite good. The acidity is not too strong and it is a beautiful hiyaoroshi.
HITEN: The balance varies greatly from lot to lot, but this one is a winner. The acidity and sweetness are quite strong, so it may be difficult to get the right balance, but when you get hooked, it's delicious.
This is a sake made by Shinsei for the Kansai International Conference, and unless you are told that it is made with yeast No. 6, you would not recognize it at all. If you don't know that it's yeast #6, you can't tell it's yeast #6 at all. If you make it this way, it's not as good as yeast #18. I think it's great that they are offering something completely different from the normal production for the Akita.
Nirugame. private lab series all together. It says "freshly cooked rice, oil, anise scent" but of course I don't know lol.
It doesn't have the acidity typical of Shinsei, but the strongest taste comes from the wooden vat and yeast #6. It's not 88% clean. You won't know how good it is even if you drink this one.
Heavenly frog July lot. This is not the Angry version, and I was able to open the bottle in about 5 minutes. The sweet and yogurt-like mouthfeel is nicely combined with strong acidity, easy to drink, and a wonderful bottle. Thank you for the happiness to enjoy this at home.
Junmai Daiginjo Aizan. It is wonderful. Both the sweetness and the aroma are distinctly different from Junmai Ginjo. It has a luxurious sweetness, but the aftertaste is well balanced and crisp.
