Yanma特別純米酒 無濾過生原酒

GMN4
I've been wanting to try this sake for a while. I bought it for the first time. The taste is sweet and delicious in the mouth when served cold, and the lingering aftertaste has the strength of a pure sake. It has a heavy and robust taste. I thought it would be good to warm it up if it was this rich, so I tried heating it up, but it was lukewarm, which softened the mouthfeel a little while maintaining the rich, sweet flavor. It was warmed up to lukewarm, but the taste softened a bit without losing its rich, sweet flavor.

I bought it because it was the first time I had seen a label that looked like Senkou's "Zero-shiki Edobari" series? I bought it because it was the first label I had ever seen. It looks a little bit like a cloudy wine, and there appears to be a cloudy white substance at the bottom of the bottle. It is soft to the palate, but the label says it has 13% alcohol by volume, so you can easily drink it like a sparkling wine without any heaviness. I opened a bottle to drink with Japanese food such as sashimi, but it seemed to go well with light Western food (ham, cheese, pasta, etc.).

I buy Choyo Fukumusume every winter. This may be the first time for me to taste hiyaoroshi, but when I drank it, I found it to have a mild and refreshing umami and acidity. The aftertaste is beautiful. The acidity is very strong and the umami spreads quickly. It is a bottle that tastes even better when heated.

I had a rare Sado sake that I used to drink a long time ago. It has been a long time since I drank it, but I wanted to see what it tasted like. It tasted clear and slightly fruity when drunk cold, but it also had a strong and spicy taste. The spiciness was even more pronounced when heated, so I would recommend drinking it cold or at room temperature. It has a strong hit, so it would be good with deep fried foods such as tempura, or foods with strong flavors.

I always keep a bottle of Kikusen's special honjozo on hand. I always buy the special junmai, but this is the first time I've tried the honjozo. I always buy special junmai, but this is the first time I've bought honjozo. Although it is not junmai (pure rice) and brewer's alcohol is added, there is no unpleasant alcohol taste and the aroma is mild, so it does not interfere with meals.

It was the first time for me to drink Yamahai of Tedorigawa, but it was not as heavy as I expected, with a fruity flavor and good acidity. It was not as heavy as I expected, but it had a nice fruity flavor and moderate acidity, and the richness was not heavy, but pleasant even cold. I found out that it is recommended to drink cold, but lukewarm sake is very good lukewarm, and I finished it in no time at all. I would like to buy another bottle next year.

The first time I tasted Ganki hiyaoroshi, the mild umami and acidity spread on the palate, and the lingering aftertaste was gentle and gradually faded away. When served lukewarm, the acidity becomes more pronounced and the sweetness is more pronounced. I drank it with sashimi and other fish dishes and it was all gone at once. I would like to purchase this wine again next year.

This is another sake that I buy every year. It is a well-known sake, so it is always warmed to lukewarm by default, but it is as pleasant as ever when lukewarm. The attack is soft due to the low alcohol content, but the acidity spreads out well and the flavor is ample.

I have wanted to try it for a long time, but never had a chance to drink it, so I bought it for the first time. When you put it in your mouth, the fruity and soft sweetness spreads out at once, but it is not alcoholic or heavy, and has a gentle and pleasant flavor. I felt that this gentleness was due to the fact that it was made by a female master brewer.

I buy a bottle of this sake every year. The taste is mildly delicious in the mouth when served cold, and the soft acidity spreads beautifully and pleasantly. The aftertaste is also elegant and gentle. When warmed to lukewarm, it has a stronger acidity and a slightly spicy, powerful flavor. The acidity is more pronounced in the mouth when served lukewarm, and the slightly spicy taste gives it a powerful flavor.

The spiciness wears off rather quickly, with a hint of umami at the end. When heated, the acidity spreads quickly, and the spiciness subsides, and the lingering umami is more pleasant. Personally, I found it even better when lukewarm.

GMN4
I was looking for a sake to drink on the internet when I first saw this sake and ended up buying it. The taste is well-balanced acidity and spiciness spreads in the mouth, but the spiciness is more assertive in the aftertaste and leaves a robust flavor. The alcohol content of 18.5 is probably the reason for this. The aroma becomes milder and the flavor more expansive when lukewarm, but the spiciness also becomes stronger. It is a powerful sake that does not overpower the palate. The flavor will not disappear even when served with strong flavored dishes. However, due to the high alcohol content, the sake is heavy, so it is not to everyone's liking.

When you put it in your mouth, it has a moderate acidity and spiciness, and its umami spreads on your palate. The sharpness is good and the beautiful umami spreads moderately. It is a raw sake, but it is not heavy, so you will not get tired of drinking it. I drank too much cold and ran out before I could try heating it up, but it has a good acidity, so it would be good lukewarm as well.

The taste is slightly dry with moderate acidity, followed by a beautiful umami. It has a good sharpness, and the lingering aftertaste is pleasantly umami. It is a raw sake, but it does not feel heavy, so you will not get tired of drinking it. Thanks to this, I drank it too cold and forgot to try heating it up, but since it has a certain amount of acidity, it would be good lukewarm as well.

I bought this sake in the fall when I tend to buy a lot of sake, and it was the first time I drank Ichinenfudo. It has a long, lingering finish with a hint of bitterness and umami before fading away. The spiciness comes out a little more when it is lukewarm, but the overall flavor is mellower and the umami spreads quickly, and the lingering taste is pleasantly mild and umami. I prefer it warmed up.

It has a slightly dry and refreshing taste, followed by a mild sweetness and umami, and it lingers pleasantly until the aftertaste. It has a soft touch like hiyaoroshi, so you will not get tired of drinking it, but it is also well-balanced, without being too much. It was a bottle that I would like to buy again.

GMN4
Among the many sake that are available in Toyama, I would like to mention Haneya's hiyaoroshi as one of the most delicious sake. The hiyaoroshi is a very pleasant sake, with a good balance in the mouth, yet the fruity flavor is not too sharp, and the aftertaste is beautiful. It has a nice balance of salinity. The taste is more rounded than that of a regular junmai ginjo, so I felt it was a finish in which one could enjoy the good qualities of hiyaoroshi.

When you drink it, a refreshing flavor spreads. At worst, it has an ordinary and rather characterless flavor for a wine made after the fall season, but at best, it has a well-balanced and cohesive flavor. After a few days in the refrigerator after opening the bottle, the taste became more coherent and mellow.

The rich fruity flavor that is typical of Hououmida comes first, but the freshness is subdued compared to other sake such as nama-shu, and the lingering rich flavor lingers firmly. The freshness is subdued compared to other sake such as nama-zake, but the rich flavor lingers on for a long time.
