Mysterious sake I had at Tomijaz in NY.
It says "Zen" but I can't find anything about it.
I forgot to take a picture of it, so here it is.
Do you all know about it?
At Yamane Sake Brewery, newly opened by a former sake brewer of Shinmasa Sake Brewery.
Due to the sake brewing license, tea leaves are included. Slightly aromatic.
The sake is brewed in a wooden vat with a 6-compound yeast, and the rice is about 90% polished rice for food use. I experienced the brewing process, and it was just as delicious as usual.
It has a shuwashuwa craftiness. Of course, if you leave it alone, it would become very sour. It was an interesting experience!

Junmai Daiginjo with a 40% polishing ratio.
The rice used is Gohyakumangoku.
It tastes expensive, but I prefer the usual Junmai Daiginjo for its umakuchi taste.
I don't know how many times I've had this Hououmida Junmai Daiginjo! I can't tell you how many times I've had it. The balance of sweetness and dignity is a hall of fame.
Higashimurayama City, Tokyo, Japan.

Rice used: 100% Hachitan-Nishiki produced in Hiroshima Prefecture
Polishing: 55
I like thickened sake, and I really liked this one! The smell alone gave me a sense of a strong, dignified and well-directed flavor, and I was able to drink it from start to finish without getting tired of it.
I don't usually drink non-junmai, but since it was Nabeshima, I gave it a try. It did not disappoint. It is not as thick as it looks, but is it thick in the mouth?
100% Yamadanishiki
Polished 50%.
Summer 🎐.
The autumn hiyaoroshi was a smooth but strong taste that would go well with oysters, but they changed it up and this is a summer sake. I never get tired of it~.
Sake made with the malolactic fermentation used in wine!
Personally, this was the best sake I've ever recommended to a beginner! It has much less of the harshness of sake that beginners don't like, but it's sake without being too juicy. Very good.
