It has a firm taste in a light mouthfeel. It is also characterized by a little acidity and a good sharpness. It's a great sake for eating. We drank it cold, but it would also be good heated. We enjoyed it with sashimi.
This is a Sawaya Matsumoto Moribari brewed by Matsumoto Shuzo, which has undergone a fresh start after a family upheaval. The first thing you feel is a good amount of gas. After that, there are citrus flavors and bitterness. After that, it finishes nicely. It was very well balanced. I personally like it because of its elegance.
This is the first time to drink this sake. It has a heavy feeling that occupies the mouth, but it has a good taste combined with the acidity that wraps it well. The impression is that it can be served at any temperature.
It is a combination of heavy rice and fruity taste. It's hard to find, so when I do find it, I order it, but all of Murasuke's products are delicious, so I personally consider it a high-end sake.
This is a stable Jirima. The soft sweetness and moderate acidity run through the mouth. Personally, I think Omachi rice and Aizan rice are the top two. ←Prejudice (lol)
Hiyaoroshi of Meikyomisui. You can really feel the taste of the rice in this one. Considering the time of year, it would be best served lukewarm. I paired it with a ham cutlet, and it matched perfectly.
Jikin is brewed with sake future rice. It has fresh acidity and flavor the moment you taste it. After that, the taste is so good that you will think it will stick to your tongue. This is the first time I have had a bottle of Jijima from Sakemira, and it is very good. It is recommended to drink it with a wine glass.
It is also noble, but this is a version of new sake that has been dared to sleep in the refrigerator to increase the sweetness. You can taste the depth and flavor that only raw aging can provide. Personally, I like this one more than the basic one.
This is a standard type of "Taka" made by Nagayama Honke. You can clearly feel the flavor of the rice and the miscellaneous tastes. However, it is not so heavy but crisp sake. We enjoyed it with Soba Sashimi and it was very good.
Sekizen from Nishi-Iida Shuzo, which is known for its flower yeast. This time, it was an apple flower yeast, so it was easy to feel the apple in the bottle. However, it has a gentle aroma that is not too assertive. Also, as I always say, the acidity of Sekizen is exquisite, so it is a very enjoyable sake the moment you put it in your mouth.
Unfortunately, I couldn't taste it right away, but I was able to drink it a couple of days after opening the bottle. I was surprised that I could feel the freshness of the wine even a few days after opening the bottle. And the pineapple taste. After all, Hanayoake is delicious. I thought it goes well with mildly acidic drinks (cream cheese and fruit).
This is a commemorative sake for the 10th anniversary of Shinsei. It is a noble sake, so it is a kind of aperitif, but the natural aroma and the mouthfeel of sparkling are very comfortable. It's easy to drink and you'll get drunk soon.
This is a special hanpukai item. The taste is not like Shinsei for better or worse. Is it because the secondary fermentation is done in mizunara oak barrels? The taste is moderately complex. I don't know why, but after I drank this, I thought "What would happen if Shinsei made a dry sake? I thought.
This one is also limited to the Cat Festival in Yushima. The aroma is soft, but the mouthfeel is firm. It seems to go well with a variety of dishes. It is a sake for eating.
This is also a limited edition of Yushima Cat Festival. Junmai-shu from Iwami Ginzan. It has a crisp and dry impression. It goes well with sashimi. The label is cute.
There are four types of sake: "Kiyoshu", "Junmai-shu", "Junmai-Ginjo-shu", and "Amazake", each with a cat label. This is the "Kiyoshu" and it is also aluzoe, so it has a royal sake feel. We had it with oden, and it was the best combination.
I bought it because of the HAPPY smiling label (lol).
There were some other labels with actual pictures of Suzumasamune, but as I like Junmai Ginjo, I chose this one.
It has a sweetness and an acidity like pineapple or apple. I think it goes well with meat dishes.
It is said that this sake is brewed with the original sake rice developed for more than ten years. When you taste it, you can feel a hint of muscat. There is a feeling that it lingers in the mouth and throat, so it can be drunk at any temperature (← personal interpretation).
This is a summer sake of Kankiku Meijo. You can feel the freshness of the slight foaming feeling when you open the mouth. The melon feeling when it is contained is very much to my liking. I want to drink it in a champagne glass.
It was recommended by a liquor store and I bought it. It is refreshing and easy to drink. It feels like a summer sake. You can feel the apple taste when you drink it. Personally, I like this type.
