This sake is made by Yamadaho, the parent of Yamada-Nishiki. Similar to Yamada-Nishiki, it is calm and delicious. This is recommended. It is sweet and delicious, mellow and slightly fresh.
Sake of the month for May. I haven't had this year's normal Kabutomushi yet, but I opened a bottle of the golden Kabutomushi from the Imameya hanpukai first. The acidity is moderate. It has a high acidity add-on with a high sweetness/taste ratio. It is very tasty, but it is better to drink it after a meal with pickles than during a meal.
Weekday drinking at home. Sake rice is Hokkaido's Ginpu. It is interesting that Hokkaido rice is brewed in Kochi. The taste is not too dry, but fresh and fruity. Delicious! Wish I could have had it with sashimi.
It has an oriental taste, with ample sweetness. It has no acidity and falls straight to the stomach. The drinkability of Senkou remains the same as ever.
Sake of the month for March. This sake rice is called Homasu, which is also used in Sansho. The taste is modest in its fullness but very elegant. It is better to drink after a meal than during.
Sake of the month for April. This sake is brewed by cultivating wild yeast. It is not an association yeast. Rather than expanding the taste, it is a type of sake that goes in easily. However, it leaves a lingering aftertaste on the tongue and its presence can be felt well enough. It has an elegant flavor that is not too appealing.
I had some work in the first half of GW, but I'm off today. It's been a while since I've had Etsukaijin. It has a banana-like aroma and a fresh but thick taste. It is like Dotanuki in sword. It is very tasty.
GW's beginning drink.
Refreshing with little smell. It spreads the moment you pour it. No bitterness at all. It goes through without being stuck in the mouth. It goes well with white fish!
Delicious sake with a nice sharp taste. It also has a touch of sweetness. It is drier than the Kurei I drank in the past. Went well with sashimi of swordfish.
It is getting much warmer. It has sourness and bitterness, and is Kabutatushi-style. The alcohol content is 14%, but I don't think it's something you'd drink in a big gulp.
Although it is a dobrok, there is no rice mash. No sourness either. A version with a lot of light cloudy ooze? This may be a delicious sake without the cloudiness.
I have been curious about it for a long time. Junmai Oragami from Nanada. Delicious. It has a freshness that is different from the usual lineup. It goes well with sea bass sashimi and oyster ponzu. However, my cat has recently been standing by & appealing to be accompanied by sashimi when drinking sake. I won't give it to him today, though.
Sourness is restrained. Bitterness that lingers a little on the tongue. I tried it with bamboo shoot rice, but I think it would probably go well with something like bamboo shoot tempura. The flavor spreads in your mouth and seems to wash it out.
vol.4 February's sake, which was Jikkomai Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Unfiltered Nama, so I reserved it for January and had this one first. But this one is delicious, too. It is so refreshing that it is hard to believe it is a junmai sake. If the balance were a little worse, the acidity would be too strong, or it would taste like a regular junmai sake with the rice in the front. It has a very pleasant balance.
Windy forest but not too sweet. I would say it is dry. The aroma is the usual Kaze no Mori, so it feels slightly strange after drinking. I should have paired it with sashimi.
