Common: Aged aroma.
Left: A light, aged aroma.
Right: A full-bodied, robust aroma of maturity.
Both have a "the sake" flavor.
As expected of Nada Gogo.
I had been drinking only junmai (pure rice) and had never even seen a sake with brewer's alcohol added.
Until I met Sogen.
It was the moment when I realized that "being slapped in the face" is exactly what it means.
How should I put it?
It is not well-known, reasonably priced, and is like table wine in the wine world.
In the world of "Tenryu Happe," however, Sogen is like that "cleaning monk.
As the saying goes, "Never forget, and you will always hear a sound. The world of sake is still shrouded in mystery, and Sogen is the very echo born of that mystery.
It's sweet. Not tasty at all. It's obvious that they are trying to suppress or devise all the trendy elements, but the taste itself is just monotonous sweetness. It's an annoying bottle.
Kagoshima, I finally filled it. When we opened the lid, there was a popping sound, quite powerful. It doesn't say anywhere that it's a fresh sake. It has a banana aroma and fresh, dark sweetness, maybe a little too sweet. We drank it while eating oden, but the sweetness still goes well with the salty taste.
It was delicious. Aroma of dried fruits, delicious aged flavor, quite sweet, and the exact opposite of the image on the label. Sake is better when it has been aged for a while, it is totally different. I would like to drink this bottle again.
For some reason, Chiba sake is hard to find in the Kansai region. It has a trendy flavor, with aromas of dried fruitoff and caramel, slightly sweet, and quite drinkable.
It's a kijoshu, but it doesn't seem sweet at all. It has a deep and elegant aroma and taste. The use of wine barrels is very effective. 4,400 yen is well worth it.
Fruity with peaches and apples, the taste is slightly sweet and refreshing. On the second day the taste became slightly darker and the deliciousness became exceptional. It is a bottle I would like to drink again.
The aroma is simple and the fruity yeast additions are modest, I think. Taste is fresh and sweet, a bit strong on the throat. It is usually tasty, but perhaps a little overpriced for the taste.
