Gentle sweetness and alcoholic aroma.
Less cloying and clearer than Dewanosato.
Is it because it is a Daiginjo blend + alky sauce?
It tastes good and is a high-cost sake, so I would buy it again if I see it again 🥺.
It has a gentle sweetness with a slight bitterness and alcohol taste in the aftertaste, and a slight aroma of maturity, as is typical of autumn sake.
The price is reasonable, and the sweetness is moderate, which is my favorite quality of sake.
Kamikimoto in times of trouble ........
I really appreciate the price of a modern, dry shochu at this price.
Thanks to this sake, one day Yamagata Prefecture may be ranked No.1 (in the ranking of the number of bottles I drank), and I will be indebted to you. 🙇🏻♂️
Banana-like aroma and gentle sweetness. Pattern of alcohol aroma in the aftertaste.
I don't often drink sake with high rice polishing ratio, but Shitaizumi is spicy and delicious. I would like to visit the brewery since it is close by 🥺.
This is the second time I have purchased this product, following in January of this year.
The peach-like aroma, moderate sweetness and bitterness in the aftertaste remained the same from the taste of the previous impression.
I detected a slight sourness and a hint of alcohol in the aftertaste.
Last time it was chilled to a crisp, but this time I drank it about an hour after taking it out of the fridge, so that may have been the difference.
It has a pear-like aroma and juicy sweetness. The bitter aftertaste, which would otherwise be too sweet, is balanced and delicious, as one would expect from Nabeshima.
It has a pear-like aroma and juicy sweetness, followed by a sharp acidity and bitterness.
When I first drank it, I felt the acidity was stronger than I expected, but after about a week, the acidity settled down to a good balance.
I was curious about this new product because it was spicier and more reasonably priced than other Tenmei products.
The peachy aroma, sweet juicy taste, and slight sourness typical of Tenbi are maintained, but the aftertaste is relatively clean with a hint of alcohol. There is no bitterness.
It is not as dry as other Amami, but compared to other Amami, I like the taste and it is delicious.
The pear-like ginjo aroma and elegant sweetness are typical of Aizan? The subtle acidity and sharp bitterness in the aftertaste finish it off crisply.
I have had about three kinds of Shidaizumi so far, and all of them have a clean and dry impression. I like this type of sake.
Banana-like aroma, subtle sweetness and acidity, and a slight alcohol aftertaste that wears off.
A very high-cost, clean sake in the 2300 yen range.
Although there are economical reasons, I think it is better to drink the lowest spec sake for the first time to see the bottom strength of the brewery....... I think it's a good way to understand the brewery's care and attention to detail.
This is a brewery that I would like to try other specs of sake as well!
■Cold Sake
Pear-like aroma, juicy sweetness, and acidity.
The body is a bit heavy, but the acidity and bitterness in the aftertaste cut through the heaviness and make it flow smoothly.
It can also be served hot...?
Hot sake (49°C)
The sweetness, acidity, and bitterness remain the same, but the body is lighter.
It is also delicious hot!
Compared to the regular Nakadori, the initial ginjo aroma and the alcohol aftertaste are more subdued. It is strange that the sharpness of the aftertaste is enhanced despite this...
It is a very dangerous sake with 16% alcohol content, even though its gentle taste makes it seem low in alcohol content.
I like the regular Nakadori, but this one tastes better, so please make off-dry a standard item. 🙇🏻♂️
It has a faint sweetness, followed by sourness, astringency, and a unique aroma that I can't quite put my finger on.
As the label says, it was one of the spiciest (i.e., less sweet) sakes I have ever had.
I would like to try other sakes from the same brewery.
Amanogawa is the second installment of the project to compare Yamanoi's seasonal sake, whose labels are not distinguishable at a glance.
Last time, I wrote that the sweetness, spiciness (in this case, I imagine the alcohol aroma cutting through), acidity, and bitterness were in perfect balance, and the flavor disappeared smoothly without changing from the attack to the aftertaste, but the overall impression is that the flavor has become gentler.
In addition, I don't know if it is a kind of aging aroma, but I felt a lingering aroma like that of Shaoxing wine.
I don't know the specs so I can't say for sure, but I got the impression that this sake is more like something that has been laid down to sleep.
If I had to choose which one I prefer, I would say I prefer the shooting star..........................
This is the first shooting star of the project to compare Yamanoi's seasonal sake, whose labels are not distinguishable at a glance.
The sweetness, spiciness (in this case, the aroma of alcohol gives the impression of cutting through), acidity, and bitterness are in just the right balance, and the taste disappears smoothly without changing from the attack to the aftertaste.
It is said to be a blend of three different sakes, but the harmony is so exquisite that one wonders if it was blended to balance the flavors.
According to the liquor store, either the Amanogawa or this shooting star will be sold out, so I will taste them carefully....
It has an alcoholic aroma, a moderate sweetness, and a faint sourness that quickly disappears.
The sweetness is gentle for a chrysanthemum, and there is little bitterness.
This is a very good balance.
I like it so much that I wanted to buy another bottle.
As soon as the gentle sweetness and the delicious taste of rice arrive, they are suddenly cut off without any particular aftertaste.
I think Asterisk is better in terms of not being too sweet, but I also think that there might not be that much difference if we compare them.
I like Eikoufuji's dry sake so much that I wonder if they are really from the same brewery!
This is my second post.
I'm not sure if I've actually had this drink more than 10 times, but it's a standard mid-size bottle of Masamune.
Comparing it to the previous comment, I first got a cool, rummy, white grape-like aroma.
It is always good. I really like it.
It has a white grape-like aroma, gentle sweetness and acidity, and a slightly bitter aftertaste that wears off quickly.
A devilishly affordable sake for only a little over 2,200 yen including tax.
I've been wondering why Horiichi doesn't carry Honjozo even though they carry Wakanami, and I'm very happy to see the long-awaited arrival of this sake.
I hope they always have it in stock because I want to repeat it every other week or so....
