Sake from Shiojiri, Nagano Prefecture.
Unique taste. A little hard for a single person.
It may be hard to find a meal that goes well with it.
I'm glad I didn't buy a bottle.
14 degrees with No. 7 yeast.
It is labeled as a cold sake, but it seems to taste better at a slightly higher temperature.
I think it is hard to feel the flavor of this sake when it is cold. Personally.
I think it is possible to drink it cold with Japanese sweets in the afternoon on a hot day ^_^.
Brewed 2024.12.
Quite good. Nourishing. Well brewed. The richness is well balanced with nastiness and umami. It has an old sake-like quality, so tastes differ, but it is good!
15 degrees. Produced by Ban'ei Transport in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture.
This is what I call dry junmai with excellent umami. This is better than the original sake!
Sanche Nishiki!
Here it comes!
This acidity is the main flavor.
It is mellow and not pungent!
Wonderful taste.
I recommend it to everyone. It is higher than last year!
In-house yeast strain No. 7, 50% 5 parts 16%.
When the bottle is opened, a puff of smoke appears.
It is a sparkling sake. This is like a fine champagne. It is dry and I would like to drink it with cured ham.
Raw oysters would also be good.
So-so?
Maybe because my expectations were too high.
The mouthfeel is good, but the umami component may be coming out in the future, so I put it on hold for now. Maybe it was a good thing I didn't buy a bottle. Or maybe it's too bad...we'll have to wait and see.
The second day. It tastes better than yesterday.
It is light and not sweet. It has a strong flavor. I was thinking of heating it up. Maybe it would be good to heat it up, like in the old days. Heated sake for cold weather.
I'm so busy this time of the year.
It is very tasty, though.
It goes well with sashimi. Firefly squid, octopus, tuna, and sea bream. It sinks in, doesn't it?
The brand name was wrong! Sorry 🙇♂️
Sake from Kuranosuke Sasaki's parents' house. It is so-so. Dry, with a rich flavor. I tried it with various kinds of tofu. Takana is good. The salmon roe is better to eat as it is because it becomes thin.
100 yen will go to Ishikawa Prefecture and another 100 yen to the Ishikawa Sake Brewers Association.
Good luck, Ishikawa!
Sake with good flavor and mildness.
It is jungin, but it is more like junmai. Well, I like it ^_^ with a meal!
Daishichi after a long time! This is sake. This is luxury for Japanese food. Soft and dry. Umami is not at the forefront, but it appears casually. It has nourishment and is well-balanced from the start. The spiciness starts to come through as it is passed around in the mouth. It is interesting whether it is served quickly or spontaneously. This is sake. I feel like I am back to my roots ^_^The Caesar dressing goes great with the salad with tuna on top! A little sourness appears, and the nourishment goes behind the scenes. By the way, it is at room temperature.
Shinano Miyamanishiki is used. Labeled light dry. It is not dry. Slightly sweet. This is not a Junmai. It may be too beautiful. I'll refrain from Jungin. Of course, those who like it will like it. It is a good sake brewer.
Yamada Nishiki. It is so easy to drink that you may think it is low alcohol despite its 15% alcohol content. It is so easy to drink that you may think it is low alcohol, even though it is 15 degrees Celsius. When it rolls around in the mouth, it is fruity with a nice aftertaste.
Day 2. It is quite good, but it is sweet and tasty. It would be better if it had a sour taste. It goes very well with dashi type rice! The balance is improved. I would like to try it with sashimi. It is a sake that goes well with rice ^_^.
Day 3. I thought I didn't need anything else, but when I paired it with Japanese food, the acidity became even better. This is a sake to be served with meals ^_^.
Bonito in soy sauce on rice. Both the rice and sake are delicious!
At first it seemed to have a nourishing, dry and clean essence. Time and temperature. This is what makes this sake interesting. I know some people may not like it, but it is quite good. It goes well with a salad with onion dressing! When it comes back to room temperature, you can roll it around and savor the nourishing flavors, or you can gobble it down with food. I'd like to repeat this one, which I can enjoy with food and time, but I bought it on a trip. Of course, it goes well with cooked rice. The tartness, which had been moderate, rises to the surface, making it even more delicious.
