Junmai Ginjo

The top aroma is moderately refreshing and citrusy.
The bubbles are strong and the taste is fruity, citrusy with a slightly bitter aftertaste, grapefruit-like... mmmm, yummy 😋.
And yet, at 17 degrees alcohol, it is very drinkable!
Good for when you are tired and want a refreshing cocktail. ⤴️
Junmai Sake Summer Nama
Rice polishing: 65

On a business trip to Fukuoka
This is a brand that I have never encountered before!
What is this...yummy! I've never had this before 😋.
It was reasonably priced, but it had a high level of slight effervescence, fruity, strong top flavor, good acidity, and a lingering umami aftertaste...very high! 🍶👍

Sake rice: Gohyakumangoku
Rice polishing: 50%.

I was on a business trip to Fukuoka, so I decided to try some local sake... Nabeshima, a classic Saga sake!
The store has 9 different types of Nabeshima alone, which is amazing!
The orange label of the middle bottle 🍊
It has a refreshing ginjo aroma, with a full-bodied, sweet rice flavor, good acidity and a slightly bitter taste!
Pair it with seared mackerel...awesome! 👍
Junmai Sake

Very well-balanced taste! The taste is very balanced 🍶.
It has a slight sweetness, acidity, and rice flavor, yet the slightly low alcohol content makes it easy to drink!
This is the kind of wine you drink too much of 👍

Junmai Ginjyo Unfiltered Nama-shu Direct Kumi
Sake rice: Yamadanishiki produced in Toyama
Rice polishing: 60
Alcohol: 16%.
This is the first time I have had this sake!
Gifu, a little rare to find in Kanto area!
It is very fresh as it seems to be directly pumped and unpasteurized sake!
The aroma at the top is slightly lactic 😊, the attack is strong, the taste has a clear fullness, a good sweetness, the taste is good but the alcohol is high and lingers a little on the tongue, the balance is very good! 👍
I wonder if it would go well with a slightly stronger flavored meal 🍽️ rather than a light one?
It is also an excellent unfiltered raw entry, a good sake! 🍶
