Kijo-shu is made by a sake brewery in Nara, whose motto is to make sake that releases, not suppresses, the acidity. It is thicker and sweeter than Shaoxing sake, more like a cocktail. This is a pineapple cocktail! (That's a compliment.) Let's drink it with a tsk tsk.
It is made partly from white malted rice, which gives it a refreshing lemon-like acidity. As the label suggests, it has a sweetness that is reminiscent of ramune, making it easy to drink.
At a sake bar, I said, "I'll have a gorgeous type, please!" And the first one that came out was this SENKYO. As usual, it is an easy-drinking fruity type with acidity. It is a well-known brand, so there is nothing to say about the taste. I've been trying not to be covered as much as possible, but as expected, after 600 sakes, that's no longer the case. Sweat.
Nito is known for its well-balanced taste. This is a direct-drafted, unblended sake. It is medium fruity with a ginjo aroma that makes it refreshing to drink.
The only thing that makes it drinkable is the osarera label, which reads "Mukaze," or "centipede. Centipedes are regarded as pests, but it is said that they were favored by the warlords of the Warring States period because of their never-ending nature. This sake has a rich aroma and a clean, sharp taste. It goes well with all kinds of snacks.
If you like sake, you can drink Nabeshima with Akaban Oumachi, just by its too-strong name. Grapey aroma, fruity-medium with a slightly mellow sweetness and a certain strength. Even those who don't like too much sweetness can enjoy this one!
Slight sweetness, but dry mid-palate. It also has a tangy feeling! I'd like to drink it with a "Gin & Tonic" in my mouth. I said, "It's a balanced sake, so it goes well with meat, but it also goes well with sashimi," and the woman next to me said, "I don't like men who don't know what they are doing! The lady next to me said, "I don't like men who don't speak their mind! LOL!
This is the second spring sake of 19. It is more sour and has a good cherry🍒 feel than the cherry blossom model from earlier! It is a luxurious fruity medium sake with a lactic acidity with a yogurt taste, which is unique to nama-shu. It has a luxurious, fruity, medium-bodied flavor. I wish I could keep a bottle of this at home.
19 spring sake. It's freshly opened, so you can't get enough of the freshness! Light fruity that you want to drink with a twist of sour cocktail🍷. Slightly effervescent, with a low sweetness, it is dry and refreshing. Perfect with yakitori and dishes with a strong flavor. If you bring it to a hanami (cherry blossom viewing) party, you'll be sure to be popular! I don't know.
Aged sake, which is rare to find in sake bars. As the name suggests, it has a robust flavor that is not unlike that of Kamizen Josui, which is easy to drink like water! Let's drink it with a "tsk tsk" (a Japanese word for "tsk tsk") in mind.
It smells of ripe bananas and has a caramel-like sweetness that makes it easy to drink. It can also be used as a dessert drink. It can also be used as a dessert drink, and I would like to drink it with banana chips.
Cute pop labels are usually fruity! This is a dry, dry wine that does its best to break the flag of "fruity". The dry, dry, dry taste breaks all the flags of "fruity" wine. I would like to pair it with a light small dish such as shirasu with ponzu sauce.
I'm going for a slow and steady pace today. A sweet fruity sake, then a super dry sake. It is not a light sake, but a rich, dry sake with a lot of body. There is not a trace of sweetness, but medium freshness. Once you reset your palate with the dry sake, let's go on and on!
Sake with the concept that sake should be drunk by feeling, not by thinking. 60% polished, complex, unpasteurized type of sake. It has a light label, but it is a fruity medium type of sake that is very drinkable.
Today we will compare three kinds of Yamaguchi sake. First, the safe and reliable Tenbi. Light fruity, with a grapefruity aroma and a crisp texture, it can be drunk as if it were a cocktail. 15% alcohol.
Then the black dragon. Only the White Dragon and the Black Dragon, let's make it black and white, shall we?
A fresh, medium dry, ginjo-shu made with rice, rice malt, and brewing alcohol. It has a strong drinking experience with a strong alcohol taste, but it is easy to drink without any peculiarities. No complaints. Such an easy-drinking, 18 degrees alcohol content...what a bad boy! I'm going to have to arrest him!
