Nama-zake from Kitayama, Kyoto. It is a junmai ginjo with a strong rice flavor style, rich and powerful, with a freshness and sweetness typical of nama-zake. It also has a nice thick texture.
It has a similar technique to that of "Kaze no Mori," a brewery that is good friends with "Kaze no Mori." It has a freshness by daring to leave gas in the bottle and is made sweeter, so it is easy for women to drink.
Even though it is fire-aged, it retains its freshness.
This is delicious! The aroma of rice is strong only in Junmai, but it is rich and even slightly matured, with a sense of fullness, smoothness and juiciness.
Recently, I have stopped accepting anything other than raw sake, but with this sake, I can even tolerate fire-aged sake.
It is very close to the original, with just the right amount of sweetness, richness, and acidity.
It was recommended to me that it would go well with sea urchins, and it certainly does.
Don't the major sake brewers produce top-quality products? A freshly squeezed Junmai Daiginjo for 1,280 yen is a strange price.
It is surprisingly difficult to pair with a meal as it is quite sweet.
Shizuoka sake has a strong sense of cleanliness rather than richness. It has a smooth, soft texture but clean and beautiful. It goes well with natto (fermented soybeans) and cod roe.
I have been wanting to drink this sake for a long time, so here it is at last.
The rice flavor is deep and rich, as it is junmai (pure rice). It is a level of richness that is hard to find even in nama sake. The alcohol content is quite high at 19%.
It is a sweet and thick style like yogurt, but it is dry and tasty. I have the impression that it is good for sashimi but loses a little in strength for motsu nabe.
Sake that seems to be Japanese sake. It has a slightly old-fashioned smell, and although it has the flavor of rice, it has a strong alcoholic taste.
This kind of sake goes well with kara-sumi or salted squid.
As expected of Senkin. It has a lively flavor with a slight effervescence and a deep, yet smooth and clear taste. The acidity is also strong, and the taste is as if it soaks into the palate.
The first sake on New Year's Day was Ichiroman.
Junmai Daiginjo-nama sake is nothing but my favorite element. It is a magnificent sake with a rich, dense texture and smooth, lively, slightly sweet but thick.
I'm not interested in anything other than nama-sake, and I'm not a fan of such hi-ire, so I'm thankful for the light nigori sake for about 1,500 yen.

It has a mellow flavor, sweetness, and elegant smoothness.
This sake is called "nouveau," which means that it is freshly brewed on the fourth day.
It is a little less vibrant than the other two, but it is rich and tasty without any twitchiness, as is typical of nama sake.
