It has been about 20 years since I last drank Jyushiyo, which was still reasonably drinkable 20 years ago, but is now a sake that is hard to find.
It has a slightly yellowish color, moderate viscosity, and well-balanced sweetness. I wish it were a little more palatable.
This is another record of a long time since I drank it, but it was the first time I saw the Jigokin nigori, and I really wanted to try it, so I had it served to me from the refrigerator in the restaurant, even though it was not listed on the menu.
The slight effervescence was very refreshing and delicious.
It has been a long time since I drank it, so I have a hazy memory of it, but I remember that it was easy to drink, with just the right amount of sweetness despite being a draft sake.
At a tempura restaurant. They recommended heating the sake, so I tried it. The ginjo aroma that slightly wafted into my nose and the moderate temperature went well with the tempura.
Hi yuryur 😃
Welcome to Nikko, Tochigi 🤗I hope the autumn leaves 🍁were at their best 😊I'm sure it's great to have a drink at Nikko Honor on the way back 🚃😚.
Thank you for your comments, Jay & Nobby! Unfortunately, there were not so many autumn leaves yet, since we were only sightseeing around Toshogu Shrine, but it was a very nice trip. Nikko Honor, it was delicious.
Purchased on a trip to Nikko for the train on the way home. The aroma is honjozo-like, but it has a sweetness unique to nama-shu and is quite easy to drink. While drinking the sake, I was immersed in the memories of my trip.
I have been wanting to try a sake from the Kinpidake Brewery in an area I have a connection with for many moons. Finally, I came across it at a convenience store in Hokkaido and bought it.
It has a mild taste, perfect for a mid-meal drink! Goes well with sushi.
This sake is brewed with a Kochi yeast called Cel 24. This junmai ginjo has a fruity ginjo aroma and is very drinkable. Serve with sweet and spicy bensho stew.
One of the specially selected Toyama sake drinking contests. It is moderately heavy and has a refreshing aftertaste. The alcohol content is a little high at 18 degrees.
One of the specially selected Toyama sake drinking comparison. It has a robust flavor that can only be obtained from the raw sake. The rice flavor in the aftertaste is good.
Sake for Autumn.
Sake in autumn is hiyaoroshi.
The first hiyaoroshi of the year is Yoshinogawa.
This smooth junmai sake has a light aftertaste. Serve with sashimi of yellowtail, Hiramasa, and octopus.
