Lightly cemedine-like aroma. Light, light, refreshing entry, elegant sweetness. Lightly carbonated. Sourness that quickly disappears. Overall, it is an elegant, moist and nice sake.
Sour aroma.
It goes in smoothly, and the sourness and bitterness come together, followed by the bitterness.
I had heard that it was a popular brand on the Internet, so I thought it would be easy to understand and drink, but surprisingly it was not.
Chicken label Abe-kan. I looked it up on the Internet and saw that it was described as a double-layered label, so I took a closer look and found that it really was a double-layered label.
The aroma was more like junmai (pure rice) than junmai ginjo, and it was quite a robust Yamagata sake.
On the palate, the first half is a strong junmai sake with a strong impact. After the bitterness comes the fruity taste in the second half, which is a hint of ginjo.
It is a good sake.
Scent first. It has a hard aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, you can feel the sweetness that is typical of kafuda-shu, but as the aroma suggests, it has a hard mouthfeel.
Then, there is the umami. It is surprisingly strong.
Finally, there is a light bitterness.
It is a good sake.
I scouted out a newly opened liquor store in Shinjuku Keio and found many brands that I could not buy at my usual place. I ended up buying five bottles.
Today I opened a bottle of KABU, which I had never seen on sale before.
It has a light thickening and a gentle sweetness from the rice, followed by a strong bitterness. I see why it is so popular. For a brief moment after putting it in the mouth, it tastes like Jyushiyo Honmaru.
Sake with a good aroma for the first time in a long time.
Sweet and thick aroma.
In the mouth, it is as sweet and thick as the aroma suggests, but with unexpected bitterness and a firm taste.
I thought it would be a soft sake because of its name, but it was unexpectedly a good hard sake.
By the way, what is Nanbu Bijin +B?
Personally, I have an image of Oze no Yukidoke as being easy to drink without any peculiarities, but this hiyaoroshi has a relatively strong finish.
It would go well with mushroom dishes.
This is a special junmai sake that is quite close to a regular sake. It is light, but you can still feel the alcohol content. It is for drinking at home in the evening.
The dark taste is a powerful sake that comes with gusto. Yes, it is an unfiltered raw sake, so it is very assertive. It is like a Yamagata sake. Personally, I like it a lot.
It's been an early year.
This year's ice breaker has a twisted aroma. Is it the smell of malted rice? The color is a little darker.
It is different from most summer sakes in that it has a strong, robust flavor.
It is tasty and drinkable. But was it really this kind of sake?
Akita-like softness. It is not rich, but it is not thin, but rather dark, with a nice refreshing acidity and bitterness. It's not a summer sake, but it is a summer sake.
It is a summer sake. It is dry and light without stickiness.
But it has umami, bitterness, and an attack on the throat at the back end.
It is a different direction from Kamizen, but it is a sake that can be drunk rather easily.
It is hard throughout. On the other hand, it has a lot of umami. The body is surprisingly firm. The aftertaste is dry and refreshing.
A good sake to sip in hot weather.
