This sake has a slight ginjo aroma, but is made to be as dry as possible, with the theme of an autumn walk. It's refreshing and perfect for Halloween night.
Selected a freshly opened bottle of St. John's on recommendation. It was a little tangy because it was freshly opened, but light fruity and easy to drink.
Reaper and Ura-Reaper. The clear one on the right with the inverted label is the Ura Shinigami. The Urashin is a Junmai Daiginjo, which gives it a clearer and more refreshing taste, and it is surprisingly dry and tasty in a royal style, without any peculiarities. The Ura-Shinjin is more peculiar, and I think it is for a different taste group.
Comparison of Shinshin and Ura-Shinshin. The amber-colored one on the left is Shinshin. It has a nice grassy, millet-like mature taste, and is easy to gobble up. It also goes well with Shizuoka oden, which has a strong dashi broth!
A sake that seems to be competing with a certain ramen shop for the name. It is a white wine type sake with a strong acidity that goes well with lemon sours in the summer.
With a sake meter of +12, it is normally supposed to be super dry, but this is a strange sake with a strong sweetness from the rice. Yet, it is a dangerous sake with a strength of 19 degrees. After drinking more than 600 different kinds of sake, I was proud to say that I had already lost my taste for new flavors, but this was the first new sensation in a long time that hit the spot!
The best thing about it is that it's so good that it makes my dad gag, "Give me a kure! I want to hug myself today for having held back from saying a fatherly gag, "Give me a kurei!
This is a 15% sake that proudly bears the name of a cool-guy's father's gag. It lives up to its name with its refreshing taste and low alcohol content, making it easy to drink. It goes well with sashimi, of course, but also with just about anything.
Fruity hiragana takachiyo. I chose a white one different from the Brut I drank the other day. It is medium fruity, easy to drink with a strong syrupy sweetness like sleet, but also surprisingly drinkable. 16 degrees.
Oh, I've never had this label before, I thought, it's a light tropical fruity sake that I had solidly two years ago at the same restaurant. Slightly sweet and sour, this is a summer sake with a strong pineapple taste.
