Nito純米吟醸 山田錦五十五 生純米吟醸原酒生酒
Nito Check-in 1Nito Check-in 2
エルワン
Exciting mouthfeel with a fresh gassy feel. A beautiful Junmai Ginjo that is fresh and does not feel the weight of the original sake. Aromas of almonds and lilies. Juicy acidity with fruitiness such as white grapes and lychee. The balance of sweet and sour is well-balanced and easy to drink, but because it is unpasteurized, it has structure and is very drinkable. It has a clean finish and is easy to pair with meals.

Juicy mouthfeel, thick feel. It has the weight typical of an original sake, but the flavors are balanced and easy to drink. There is a spicy, peppery spice. There is a mellowness like vanilla and a refreshing bitterness like anise. In the glass, the corners are gradually removed and the wine becomes rounder and easier to drink. This is a sake where you can truly enjoy the passage of time and changes in temperature.

It's been about a week since I opened the bottle. A little greenish on the outside. The nose is very mild. When shaken in a wine glass, there is a hint of vanilla and hazelnut. The mouthfeel is fresh but smooth. Although it is described as dry, the elegant sweetness of the rice can be felt. Then the milky umami spreads and quietly fades away. As it warms up, the pleasant umami and fullness increase, and a nutty nuance appears. If you want to pair it with cheese, go for a young comte.

Even though it is a Yamahai brew, the sweetness comes first rather than the acidity. The sweetness is also very elegant, with a hint of white peach. The mouthfeel is very mellow. The fruity taste is followed by a washed-out acidity that disappears nicely. I enjoyed it cold, at room temperature, and lukewarm. The lukewarm room temperature was juicy and spread the flavor in the mouth. Not a bad match for raclette. Anyway, it's delicious, and I'd recommend this bottle to anyone who doesn't like Yamahai.

On the outside, it is slightly cloudy. The nose is reminiscent of vanilla, white pepper and white flowers. In the mouth, the acidity is very mild and light. Easy to drink. It is mellow and has a sweetness like caramel, but it is not sweet. It is refreshing after swallowing. It is an elegant sake with a sharp corner. If you compare it to a wine, it feels like a Chardonnay that has been laid down in a barrel for a while. It is difficult to pair, but the unique sweetness goes well with pork.

Here is the first glass of 2021. Sophisticated ginjo aroma. White wine-like fruitiness reminiscent of Muscat. The mouthfeel is as smooth as silk. This Junmai Ginjo is crisp, elegant, and beautiful. It is better to drink it in a wine glass.

Yellowish in color, best when it's around 40°C. The aroma is deep like a mushroom. It has a milky mouthfeel, soft and massive. The taste of mushrooms and grains are condensed. It goes well with Jibu-ni, also from Ishikawa prefecture. It goes well with cheese that has been matured.

The taste is soft and clear in the mouth, but the rice flavor is just right. It's refreshingly dry and crisp, just like Ishikawa's Gohyakumangoku, and goes well with Japanese fish dishes.

Scent of watermelon. Beautiful ginjo aroma. It is fresh and lively. It is dry, but the refined sweetness and acidity are impressive, just like a ginjo. The crispness is also good. Use with pickled cucumbers or marinated cucumbers.

The Suiryu of Shinsei has been revived as Bodairyu. The fresh aroma is a bit like lactic acid. In the mouth, a gentle sourness spreads and turns into a pleasant fruity taste. The charming, berry-like sourness is impressive. It's supple on the finish. A hint of white chocolate appears on the palate. Very well balanced between acidity, flavor and fruitiness.

The "No.6" series is the predecessor of "No.6". At that time, the sake was made from fast brewing sake mater, but this time we made it from the same principle sake mater. The aroma is reminiscent of dairy products, just like the sake brewing. There is a slight tropical taste of pineapple. Despite the aroma, the mouthfeel is soft and smooth. It has a very soft, fruity and mellow acidity. A nice sweet and sour taste spreads in the mouth, light and fruity.

I generally don't drink anything with alcohol added, but I asked for it because it sounded like it would go well with snapper halas. It has an elegant taste with no hint of alcohol. It is an elegant ginjo-shu without any unwanted ginjo fragrance. It was soft and a little sweet, but it was beautifully presented and crisp, and went well with the fatty white fish.
