It is fruity and sweet, with a touch of bitterness.
The aftertaste is refreshing and leaves a slight numbness on the tongue, making it easy to drink.
The sake rice used is Manamusume from Miyagi Prefecture, but this is the first time I've had it.
First summer sake of the year
Very refreshing and easy to drink!
There is a slight bitterness that is typical of A-Sakura.
Good aftertaste, but with a hint of sweetness afterwards.
Delicious with sashimi!
The first Toichi I ever drank.
And the first sake rice Hakutsuru Nishiki I ever drank.
Hakutsuru-Nishiki is a cross between Yamadaho and Watabune, the same rice as Yamadanishiki.
The aroma is gorgeous, but not too sweet or too dry.
The finish is rather sweet, with a slight sourness in the aftertaste.
Trophies of the Saga Trip
The mouthfeel is clean and the aroma is mild.
A little bitterness, but you can feel the juiciness behind it.
Easy to drink with a nice sharpness.
The back label of Nabeshima
They only sell Nabeshima in the middle but blend the rest and sell it as a back label.
It tastes so good you can't tell the difference.
The first time I drank Hana-yosu
The longed-for Hana-yosu is unexpectedly from Saga Prefecture...lol!
Fruity and sweet from the aroma.
It is easy to drink and delicious without any peculiarities.
When paired with food, the sweetness stands out and tastes even better.
First restaurant recommended to me on my trip to Saga.
We were told they had a bottle of Shinmasa, so we ordered it.
They said it was a fresh sake made in 2020.
Compared to the Shinmasa I've had before, it was more sake-like than sweet.
Still, it is delicious with a soft taste.
I ordered this at a bar I stopped by on a trip to Saga.
It is said to be super dry and refreshing, but you can also taste the umami of the rice, making it easy to drink.
Delicious with food!
I bought it at Takadome Sake Shop when I visited Yokote.
The ogara-mi of Harukasumi's No. 6 yeast is available in the market, but the draft version is only available at Takadome Sake Shop.
It is easy to drink with the fruity taste of the No. 6 yeast in the mild and refreshing mouthfeel that is typical of Harukasumi.
It is easy to drink with the fruity taste of No. 6 yeast and the bitterness of the orikara.
It also has a freshness or a slight gaseous taste that is typical of nama-shu.
It is a complex yet delicious sake.
The sweetness stands out when paired with a meal, making it easy to drink.
