I remember drinking a special junmai a year ago that didn't quite hit the spot, but this one is as good as it gets. It has a strong ginjo flavor. The best food sake!
Junmai Ieyasu 88
Commemorative brew for the 333rd anniversary of the company's founding
Maruishi High End Ieyasu with a low whiteness.
If you weren't told, you might mistake it for Jungin.
And just because it's low-polished doesn't mean it's affordable...(I usually don't buy it for the price)
October Round Stone Day
KEG DRAFT, a super fresh concept, was recommended by the proprietress? The proprietress recommended it to me. The expiration date was 3 days. When I drank it on the same day, it had a strong youthful bitterness, and I thought it might not be my favorite type...? But after a day of drinking it, the corners were removed and it became much easier to drink👍.
I got it in Tokyo during the Bon holidays, and although I wasn't sure about the 70% polished finish, the slight effervescence and refreshing bitterness gave it a tonic-water feel. I want to go to Hokkaido!
I heard that Handa's Shikishima had been restored at Azumaya Sake Shop, so I bought it. It has a gaseous feeling as if it were slightly carbonated. Fresh Ichibanboshi
KALDI original. It has a more robust mouthfeel and drinkability than the label implies, but the low alcohol content gives it a strange balance with a refreshing aftertaste.
I just received the sake I squeezed at Houraisen Sake Rabo! When I drank it, it was clearly fresh and had a bitter taste that I've never felt in any sake I've ever had. I wonder if it will change after a while.
