It has a soft mouthfeel and plays a good supporting role with sashimi. Delicious. Clean crisp flavor, but has a lingering tangy umami aftertaste. The sake's sharpness is a good match with the smokiness of iburi Katsuo sashimi 2025/09/13 Tokyo Nerima-ku, Tokyo Kashiwaya

Matsuya Shuzo Junmai Kimoto Arabashiri Nama Matsuya Shuzo Junmai Kimoto Arabashiri Nama Rice polishing ratio 60 Alcohol 14 Acidity 4.0 Seimaibuai 60 Alcohol 14 Acidity 4.0 Gunma sake series. This time, it is the maximum that the body can drink. I was a little bit embarrassed when I answered that it has a strong acidity and that citric acid is good for summer tiredness. Maybe life is simpler than that. Strong sour flavor, like lemon peel. I don't understand Why, but somehow, it pairs well with an end-of-day salmon rice ball 🍙. 2025/09/12 Wasshoku Shokuba Iroha Fujioka, Gunma, Japan

The flavor is a little sweet, with a thick mouthfeel the flavor lingers a while Tangy finish
Chrisbrz
pretty good partner with sashimi/sushi but probably a better match with more robust flavored foods

This would be a great sake to drink on its own while having a conversation with an old friend

I enjoyed it and will probably buy it again

A comfortable match with sashimi (salmon, scallop, toro), but intensifies the umami in uni.

Mildly grassy flavor with a soft sticky finish that lets a tanginess linger in your mouth. Very sashimi -friendly sake, it cleans the palate between fishes without overpowering the sashimi Even with heavy flavors like うに uni and あん肝 ankimo, the sake’s mild acidity cuts through the uni / Ankimo fattiness and enhances the umami. 2025/08/16
