It has a full-bodied mouthfeel with a long aftertaste, with an aroma of alcohol, a little sweetness, and the delicious taste of rice.
It has been a while since I drank a classic heavy sake.
Wakanami Honjozo, which I bought again because I saw it.
It is very useful for me as a price adjustment when I want to buy a little expensive bottle.
Thanks Wakanami.
The taste is exactly the same as the impression I had one time before.
It has a strong acidity and an aftertaste of alcohol rather than bitterness.
The sweetness is not so strong, so it has a wine-like taste.
The first thing you sense is a soft sweetness and peachy aroma, followed by a slight alcohol aroma, bitterness, and a gaseous taste that fades away in a flash.
It has a beautiful junmai ginjo-like quality, and when well chilled, the sweetness and aroma settle down and become more likeable.
It has a strong sweetness, umami of rice, and body at first, but the sweetness softens in the middle and finishes with a hint of alcohol, so it does not feel too sweet.
This makes it an interesting sake for those who don't like too much sweetness. It is not too sweet, so it is an interesting sake!
Peach + Shikwasa-like aroma, gentle acidity and juicy sweetness.
The aftertaste is moderately tight and very well balanced with a hint of alcohol.
There are not many Yamagata Masamune brands under 3,000 yen, and I have never had a chance to buy one, but I would like to try some of their other sakes.
This series is expensive and usually hard to afford.
It has a full-bodied sweetness, followed by sourness and a hint of bitterness.
The 13% alcohol content is not at all stimulating, and combined with the acidity, it tastes like a honey lemon.
I would like it to be a little less sweet, but I think that would make the acidity stand out too much.
I think this is the best balance.
I went to Yamaya to buy some Kamonishiki Junmai Ginjo and Daiginjo, but they had more nigori, so I bought those.
My overall impression was that the junmai ginjo had become milky and the taste was more integrated and gentle.
In addition, it has a slight bitterness throughout, which improves the sharpness.
Compared to the Junmai Ginjo, I think I prefer the taste of this one...
The sweetness and rice flavor were felt, but soon after, the alcohol tingling came in and the body was heavy.
It is interesting because it is different from the image of Shitaizumi that I have had before.
This type of Shitaizumi is also available in the lineup.
Only the name of the prefecture was set because Mizutani Sake Brewery was not found in the list of sake breweries.
The manufacturer seems to be Yamazaki Limited Partnership, which is located in the back of the brewery, and I wonder if they are renting a facility to make the sake.
Details are unknown.
It has a peachy aroma, soft sweetness, and acidity, followed by an indescribable full-bodied taste that quickly fades away.
The taste is so interesting that I am curious to try other sakes from the same brewery ... . I am curious about how this sake came to be.
5/18 Postscript.
Apparently, Mizutani Brewery was destroyed by a fire last year, and they are borrowing facilities from another brewery to make sake until the fire is restored.
Since the brewery is located in my home prefecture of Aichi, I have to support them by buying their sake....
The sweetness seems strong at first, but then it lands softly and is cut off by a lingering taste of alcohol and bitterness.
I think the reason why the sweetness at first is rather strong, but then it lands softly is because of the acidity mixed in with the sweetness in a perfect balance.
Personally, I didn't feel the acidity at all, but it might appear a little when it fluffs up after the sweetness. It's just a little bit.
It is a perfect balance.
It is one of the few sweet wines that my wife liked, so I made a note of it.
It was in rare stock at Horiichi, so I bought it immediately!
Gentle sweetness and acidity, with a slight scent of alcohol in the aftertaste.
Maybe the acidity is more pronounced than when I drank it before?
I also felt more alcohol than bitterness.
In any case, it is well-balanced and delicious!
Gentle sweetness and sourness with a bitter aftertaste and a hint of alcohol.
With only 13% alcohol by volume, it is light and easy to drink.
I have only tasted low-priced Takasami, but I have the impression that there are many spicy and easy-to-drink products in their lineup.
I'm sorry I opened the bottle without reading the hanging instructions and not knowing that I had to first puncture the stopper to release the gas: 🙇🏻♂️
You're lucky it didn't spill ☺.
■Top Clarification.
I didn't feel the gasiness as much as I was warned to open the bottle, and it seemed dry with a slight bitterness all the way through.
Is this the one that tastes completely different when shaken ...?
After shaking
The gaseous sensation is not as strong as expected, and is only faintly felt ... . The bitterness I felt in the supernatant is not so much due to the effect of the lees, but it can be easily drunk without feeling it.
The theory that nigori sake tastes better when shaken continues to hold true.
It's been a long time since I've had an instrumental Masamune.
Compared to the previous one, it seems to have lost the rummy feeling and the aftertaste of alcohol stimulation has become gentler (the aroma comes in a fluffy way).
Personally, I like the type of aftertaste that goes away quickly without relying on sourness or bitterness, so I think it is closer to my taste.
I bought my first bottle of Amezure, which I had not been able to get my hands on because it was the only sake in a price range that was exquisitely difficult for me personally to afford.
The juicy sweetness and apple aroma came in a flash, just as the label said, and when I felt it was a little too sweet ........ Just when I felt it was a little too sweet, it was finished off with an exquisite bitterness.
I'm curious about other sake, so I'll try them next time.
Purchased at Mitomiku Shuzo's warehouse opening.
It has a very good balance of alcoholic aroma, acidity, a hint of sweetness, and alcoholic flavor, with some sweet wine-like nuances.
I wonder if I should have bought this one in a bottle... LOL!
It has a soft sweetness followed by no bitterness or acidity, and a very clear daiginjo-like quality that disappears quickly and easily.
I really like the taste.
It's a great price and next time I buy it, I'll definitely buy it in a bottle!
