I have drunk 寫楽 many times, but this is my first time drinking Miyazumi.
It is easy to drink with a pleasant sweetness on the palate. It is a junmai sake that can be drunk as much as you want.
This time it was Mitsui no Kotobuki Winter Junmai Activated Nigori Nama Sake NeVe.
I bought some Fukuoka snacks at an antenna store in Fukuoka, so I bought a bottle of Mitsui no Kotobuki to go with it.
I started with the supernatant. The aroma is juicy like modern sake, but the mouthfeel is gentle like clean water, and the juiciness spreads gradually through the taste.
Then, after mixing. The full-bodied, robust nigori umami hits the palate with a thud, and the nigori's goodness can be enjoyed.
Hirotogawa is stable and reliable. The nigori is also good, but this standard special junmai is as good as ever. From the aroma, it has a pleasantly gorgeous flavor that lingers on the palate, yet there is nothing heavy or dull about its body, making it easy to drink. A sake that can be paired with any dish.
Takumi 35 from Takihama, with an elegant sweetness from the aroma, and a pleasant, clean sweetness that runs through the mouth from the first sip. This sake is as good as the Tobiroki we drank yesterday. To be honest, the price is expensive, but the taste is well worth it.
The long-awaited Tobiroki! Junmai Daiginjyo Namazume.
First of all, the aroma is sweet and pleasant. The core of Tobiroki is its good point. This sake is perfect to drink with a glass of wine, and is indeed a Tobiroki sake.
As described in the brewery's description, it is refreshing from the first sip, yet easy to drink with the straight aroma of rice that is typical of junmai sake.
This time it is dewy leaf wind 507 from Kaze no Mori.
From the moment the bottle is opened, there is a popping sound and you can feel that it is full of gas. The aroma gives off a complex sweetness, and when you put it in your mouth, its pleasant, yet complex flavor and aftertaste will make you addicted to it. The moderate carbonation is also a nice accent.
Mansaku no Hyakuda 45 Junmai Daiginjyo Once-fired Harazake
It's been a while since I've had a Manzaku, but it has an elegant sweetness and a moderate aroma, and it's easy to drink at room temperature.
A glass of Shizenkogo's long-sought-after fragrant junmai in a wine glass. From the aroma, a pleasant sweet aroma wafts through the air. The sweetness of the rice continues to run across the tongue as it hits the palate, but there is a slight bitterness that accentuates the pleasant sensation in the mouth, and it lingers until the aftertaste. And yet, there is no unpleasant aftertaste at all. It is truly a sake, but it also has a wine-like aftertaste.
From the first sip, the sweetness of rice with a hint of koji (malted rice), typical of Yamahai, runs through the mouth. I drink it cold, but I am sure it is also delicious hot. I'm drinking it cold, but I'm sure it would be great hot as well,
Mutsu Hachisen Nouveau Special Junmai Nama Shu Unrefined Orikagarami purchased at Hasegawa Sake Shop.
When opened, it made a popping sound like champagne. You can tell that it is full of gas.
The mouthfeel is melon-like sweetness typical of Hachisen's nouveau. From there, the aroma of sake with a moderate nigori (nigorizake) taste runs through the mouth.
It has a strong rice flavor and sweetness on the palate, but it is not dull and has a nice sharpness to it, making it easy to drink. (Forgot the photo: ......
Pleasant sweetness from the aroma. From the first sip, a sweetness that combines the gentleness and core strength typical of Jyushiyo runs through the mouth at once. Yet, it is easy to drink because there is no aftertaste. The first Jyushidai of the year is also the best.
I found it at Hasegawa Tokyo Station store and couldn't resist buying it. I didn't drink it last year, so this is my first snowball in two years.
I started with the supernatant. The aroma is faintly sweet with a pleasant degree of sweetness. The taste is fluffy like tofu or albacore, and the sweetness is a bit like that of a traditional sake, with a slight carbonation following afterwards. The sake has a nice sharpness, so it is not difficult to drink, and in a sense, it is a dangerous sake that is easy to drink.
Next, the nigori is mixed with the sake. When nigori is mixed in, the carbonation becomes stronger and the body becomes middle. This one has a heavier body and is strong enough to stand up to strong flavored food.
