Good morning, Mr. Ham 😃.
Raifuku! I'm interested in this one with a good name but haven't tasted it yet 🥲I'll refer to it as aroma -> taste -> aftertaste 🤗.
Miyako Bijin's Yamahai Junmai is brewed using the traditional Yamahai brewing method and has a very good balance of richness and flavor.
It has a subdued aroma with mild fruit notes like ripe bananas and dried fruits. There is also a subtle lactic acid nuance, giving it a classic Yamahai character.
Jo" was conceived of as a honjozo, which means that the brewing style is highly individualistic.
It has the acidity produced by Yamahai, a citrusy aroma, and a fruity, refreshing acidity and slightly bitter taste in the mouth.
This is a limited edition autumn sake from Taebijin born from "Hachitan-Nishiki x Nama-no-Nazake x Matured". This sake is matured until the beginning of autumn, when the balance between umami and acidity is improved.
It has a mild and elegant sweetness. The aroma is gentle, with nuances of pineapple and pear.
Chobei I started brewing sake at the present location in 1690. Until the Edo period (1603-1868), the name "Chobei" was used for generations, and the brand name of sake was "Chomori". When Oguri Uenosuke, an official of the Tokugawa shogunate, went to the U.S. on an embassy mission in 1801, his ancestors accompanied him and celebrated with a large sake cup upon his safe return.
When the bottle is opened, it has an aroma of melon and a hint of namune, and when you drink it, it is dry and has many different tastes.
It is a complex and varied bottle!
Very interesting.
This sake was brewed in 1988 and has been aged for over 35 years.
The color and aroma are reminiscent of Shaoxing sake,
It has a concentrated aroma and a slightly dry aftertaste,
It is also a good match for Chinese cuisine.
When the bottle is opened, watermelon sweetness appears,
When drunk, it is delicate and soft to the touch on the palate, with a clean sweetness that wafts into the mouth and intertwines with a mellow umami flavor.
Natural selection, simply put, is the process of not adding any yeast to the brewing process and allowing the natural microorganisms of the local environment to compete, grow, reproduce, and select themselves in the sake mash, with the dominant strain ultimately winning and producing the aroma and flavor of the sake body. Because of the local geographical environment and annual climatic conditions that cannot be replicated elsewhere, good sake brewed annually by natural selection has a unique aroma and flavor that will never be repeated.
I am very happy to receive a bottle that the teacher brought back from Japan.
I wish I had time to visit the sake brewery.
The fast brewing method gave it a straight acidity and umami flavor.
In addition, the use of a thermal tank to control the temperature gave it a unique flavor.
It has a slightly sweet, apple-like aroma, and when you drink it, you can taste elegant umami, juicy sweetness and acidity, and a bit of sweet and sourness like when you bite into an apple.
