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.
Limited edition 2023BY Sharaku bought at Hasegawa. A gorgeous flavor typical of Sharaku runs through the mouth at once from the first sip, a medium to almost full-bodied sake.
Tonight, I drank a junmai sake from Naraman for dinner. It has a slight alcohol edge on the palate, but it is not an unpleasant edge, and the crisp rice sweetness typical of junmai sake makes it easy to drink with a dry, so-called "dry" taste.
Ona's special junmai hiyaoroshi. Since it was Sake Day, I bought it even though I wasn't planning to drink it. As is typical of hiyaoroshi sake, it has a slightly thickened, robust rice flavor on the palate, followed by a slightly bitter taste on the finish. It is a sake that seems to go well with strong flavored food, but when I paired it with today's dinner of spicy mapo tofu, it went very well with it.
PS: As I drank it, the flavor of chocolate banana came out in the taste. It is an interesting sake including this point.
Good morning, Kasshi 😃.
Kochira Ona-san! It's so good 🤗
It's interesting that you put it with the bean curd 😙and that the flavor changes as you drink it 😚.
This time it is a dry junmai autumn sake from Tedorigawa. On the palate, there is a slight gasiness and a gorgeous sweetness that is typical of modern sake. Next, a slight bitterness and just the right amount of sticky rice flavor hit the palate. A perfect sake for long autumn nights.
