Stable Sharaku. Sharaku Junmai and Caprese is my personal best pairing🍅🧀🍃🍶.
Sharaku Junmai is so good and satisfying that I have never had anything other than Junmai lol
White grape-like aroma. The Tokiwa label Kameguchiri I drank before was quite sweet, but this one is moderate and elegantly sweet. It is juicy and crisp, and may be more my type of sake!
Easy to drink and you will finish the bottle in no time 🍶.
This is my first time at Kinjaku. I was curious about this brand because it was ranked No. 1 in Saketime. It is not at all common in Kansai, but I happened to find it at a liquor store I stopped by. The aroma was very pineapple-like.
It is sweet and slightly sour with a nice sharp taste.
No wonder it is so popular.
Kippei-san, you happened to find Kinjaku at the restaurant you entered...what a lucky guy. (What a lucky guy...lol!)
This first Shibori has a nice aroma and mouthfeel.
It smells like lychee or apple, or something like that.
Makosuke-san, it was a liquor store near a friend of mine, and I was surprised to hear that they are the only distributor in the Kansai region! It was one of the most aromatic and fruity I've ever had. 🏝️ I would love to try other brands of Kinjaku!
I had a high desire for sake after returning from an overseas business trip, so I decided to start with Hakurakusei's Tokujun. As the concept suggests, it goes well with meals. It has a modest sweetness, a hint of acidity, and a clear, elegant impression. I wonder if it's because the rice is flat polished to cut down on the impurities. I would like to try it heated.
Strong aroma, moderate sweetness, slight acidity, bitter aftertaste. It has a smooth and clean sake quality that is typical of Kido.
As the name suggests, it has a strong aroma, but it is difficult to describe what type of aroma it has. It is not too sweet and seems to go well with food.
My first two rabbits🐇.
Fruity, sweet and tart, but with a bitter kick on the finish. It is gorgeous and easy to drink, but also has a sense of gravity. As the label says, this sake has a good balance of various elements. It was quite to my liking.
A fruity, sweet and delicious sake.
The umami of rice and the bitterness of the aftertaste are typical of Loman.
It is fresher and juicier than the fire-brewed type I had before, and I think I prefer it!
I found a hole-in-the-wall liquor store in the neighborhood and bought some Suitama, which I don't usually see. It is a seasonal draft sake.
It has a rich ginjo aroma, a honey-like sweetness, and a long sweet aftertaste, but also a touch of bitterness.
The aroma and sweetness seemed stronger than the Hana Yuu Omachi from the same brewery.
Best as a stand-alone drink ✨.
This is my first time to try Kaze no Mori's Omachi. Muscat in both aroma and taste!
It is low-polished, but not too heavy, and has a full-bodied flavor. Once again, I was deeply impressed by the mystery of how water, rice, and rice malt can produce such a fruity and tasty product.
It has a gassy and bitter aftertaste. I have the impression that Kaze no Mori becomes rounder after the second day, so I am looking forward to the change in taste.
On the way home from Hiraparu, I happened to stop by a liquor store and bought a bottle of Tamitsu, which is not sold at the liquor store I usually go to!
The sweetness and volume of Omachi from the gentle ginjo aroma, with a bitter aftertaste that tightens up.
Overall, it is smooth, clear, and well-balanced. It is clear but not light and has a strong umami flavor, which I liked. Serve with simmered pumpkin 🎃.
This is the second bottle of Yamamoto's different yeast. 7 Yeast was shared by Isshaku Suisei. It also has a grape-like aroma and astringency, but the bitterness is less than that of the No. 6 yeast, and the aroma is more gorgeous. It is very tasty!
Both are delicious, but I think I prefer this one if I were to drink it by itself. I would like to try Isshaku Suisei next time.
I bought two different types of Yamamoto's yeast. The first was the No. 6 yeast.
It was brewed with yeast from Shinsei.
The aroma is like biting into a grape, with a hint of astringency and acidity 🍇 The astringency seems to linger for a long time.
It seems lighter on the second day than on the first day.
The astringency is a bit of a problem when drunk on its own, but it is a good match for a mid-meal drink.
I would like to enjoy the difference with No.7 yeast.
Too delicious. This is the one that has stuck in my critical eye the most recently 🍶.
Fresh, fruity and full-bodied? Volume? Body? I don't know, but it's good anyway.
I don't know, but it's delicious anyway. I will drink a bottle with care and am sure to repeat it next season.
