I forgot to take a picture of it while it was still inside, lol.
Recently, Omine has been sliding towards lower alcohol versions of their original sake, and this one was 13%.
This one is also 13%, but it has a solid flavor that is not low alcohol. We compared it to the Amami Omachi, but it was not as acidic as the Amami, and had a good balance.
It was a sake that didn't look like a Toyo Bijin.
There's probably no one who can tell it's a Toyo Bijin without looking at the label...
My honest impression right after opening the bottle was that it was a vague sake.
It's not as hot as a big dry sake, and it doesn't have the fruity or sour taste that Toyo Bijin is known for.
However, after three days of drinking it, it became thick and dry.
After that, there was no change in the taste.
La+ La+ Yachiyacho
Fruity and refreshing, it's becoming a staple of girls' night out.
This sake is made by the daughter of Yachiyo Shuzo at Sumikawa Brewery in Toyo Bijin.
I bought the Yamahai because I enjoyed the previous post's Ikarashi.
It's a little more flavorful and heavy than the Ikarashi, and I'd like to try it at room temperature or lukewarm.
I thought it was Golden Chun Chun, but is Gold Chun Chun correct?
I really like the acidity and the spicy texture that resembles gas.
It's like a legitimate modern type.
Perhaps it was because I drank it after Yamama, but I felt that it was clean and dry without feeling like it was 17 degrees Yamahai.
It can be served chilled or heated.
I felt a bitter taste at the first sip, but when it passed my throat, it had a clean acidity and a crisp masculine impression.
It is similar to Gangui and Nagamonkyo, and I like it very much.
It's refreshingly dry.
I was enjoying it chilled, but I thought it would be absolutely delicious heated, so I heated up a cup. It's delicious both ways, with the flavor of the rice increasing.
Abunotsuru no 58 (bitter melon)
The rice polishing ratio is 58%, the year of the Toji's birth, and the year the brewery was shut down was 1983, so I think I heard the name.
Of course it doesn't have bitter taste like bitter gourd, but I think it has strong bitter taste for this brewery. It is delicious (^-^)
I recommend drinking it all at once when you open the bottle lol.
It tastes like a clean, dry sparkling wine.
If you let it sit for a day, it becomes dry with a light gassy taste. It's also delicious, but I still want to enjoy the sizzle.
In my mind, Ganki is classified as a dry sake to begin with.
It's just that it's called "dry", but it's wonderfully light and dry.
If you drink it alternately with sweet raw sake, it is endless (lol).
Nishito no Shizuku is a sake rice from Yamaguchi Prefecture.
The lactic acidity that you always get from Toyo Bijin is a little weaker and bitter. When you finish drinking it, you will feel a strong mellow feeling.
