A gift from a friend as a memento of the trip. I immediately went home and drank it for dinner. It has a mellow taste with a lingering acidity. It is delicious at room temperature.
Purchased Saku for the first time in a long time. The balance of robust umami and acidity that is typical of Saku comes at you head-on. It is a sake to be enjoyed over a long period of time, rather than as a food sake.
First time at a sake brewery. I remember Yamagata as a delicious sake, so I selected it for that reason alone (laugh). A solid man's sake. It was a delicious sake, typical of Yamagata!
A friend from Sendai gave it to me as a souvenir.
The aroma of the fruit is very elegant. The taste is refreshing, with a soft sweetness and umami. It is suitable for an aperitif.
It has a very strong sense of nama-zake. Perhaps it is because of the presence of the tailings, but it accentuates the degree of the umami of the sake. Although it is freshly pressed, it is enjoyable to feel both sides of being a nama-zake!
Purchased at a very old sake brewery established in 1532. It is even better than expected. The aroma is subdued, but the flavor of the rice comes through honestly. It is suitable as a food sake, and I have high expectations for heating it up tomorrow.
Daiginjo made with Omachi sake rice. It has a firm body, but with a gentle flavor of rice and a refreshing finish. It has a fruity aroma and can be enjoyed without any snacks. I had the courage to try heating it up, and it is very tasty lukewarm as well! The flavor is enhanced. I am now wondering whether to drink it cold or lukewarm.
On the way back from seeing the Bonbaito exhibition in Nagahama, I visited a sake brewery in Kinomoto and purchased this sake. I chose Junmai because I thought it would be hot for the funazushi I bought in Nagahama. It warmed up and was the right choice. Not too assertive, but a solid supporting player. It is a reluctant workman.
The golden sword I buy every year has not joined the club, so I bought it as an alternative. The amber color and woody aroma are very elegant. It is better to warm it up hot than lukewarm to bring out the strength of its waist.
It has been a long time since I have had Hayaseura. The ginjo-shu I had previously was impressive for its slight acidity, but this junmai-shu is gentle and has a good balance of umami and sharpness. It is a sake that can be heated up!
I remember having enjoyed it before, so I bought it on a trip to Hiroshima. It has no outstanding characteristics, but when warmed to lukewarm, it brings out the best in the snacks. It does not have as much flavor as its grandiose name, but it is very good!
A brand we first encountered at an izakaya (Japanese-style pub).
It has a light melon aroma and light umami. The acidity can be felt in the middle of the umami. It is more of a stand-alone sake than a food sake.
The sound of insects lured me to buy it because I wanted it warmed up. I bought it because I wanted it warmed up. The flavor is more intense when heated than at room temperature. The aroma and flavor are full and rich, and you can taste them deep in your throat. The joy of drinking sake is in heating it up!
A souvenir from my wife's trip to Awaji Island. The lightness that is typical of daiginjo-style sake, but the umami of the rice also remains. A well-balanced sake! Even without snacks, the glass goes down a treat (lol).
Choice at the supermarket. The sake is good enough for everyday use. ❗️ It is not sophisticated, but you can feel the high level of the brewery. The snacks were delicious.
It was a little over my budget, but the taste was worth the purchase!
In addition to the aroma and flavor of rice, the unique acidity will not let you get tired of it. You can enjoy it.
Good evening, Mr. Manabun.
This is a wonderful gift you have given us ✨.
You have a very good relationship with your son ✨.
I love the time you spent soaking up all kinds of happiness 🎵.
