七冠馬純米 夏生純米生酒

日本酒BAR あうん屋

S.S
It has a light aroma and tastes slightly dry? It tastes light, typical of summer sake. The spiciness is felt more on the throat than on the tongue, after a little time. The overall impression is of a light drink with no corners.

The taste has a strong impression of acidity and pungency. It has an aftertaste that does not linger and is generally easy to drink. It tastes like what you would expect from a summer sake.

S.S
It was the last drink of the day. It has a very strong acidity and umami flavor. It seems that they have several kinds of Mai-Bijin, and the person who was with us ordered a different kind as a "variant," so I guess it is relatively orthodox among this brand. I guess it is a relatively orthodox brand.

We received a recommendation for this sake from Kyoto. It is nigori sake, so I mixed the sake as I drank it, and the taste was impressive, with a spiciness that stung my tongue quite a bit. This was the second time for me to taste Joyo sake during my trip, and I quite liked the taste of both!

I asked for a dry sake and received this summer sake. I quite liked the crisp aftertaste of the summer sake-like taste.

S.S
This was recommended to me at a tavern near the inn I stayed at in Kyoto. It seems to be a very famous sake brewery, but I had never heard of it before. Basically, it is a brand that is only sold in restaurants. It is light and easy to drink. The color is slightly cloudy because it is not filtered.

This was the last of a set of three different types of drinks. The aroma is quite strong. It is dry, but has a sweet aftertaste. Compared to the other two, it seems to be a little less angular and more rounded.

It is very dry and has a sharp taste. Yet, it also has a fresh, rice-like flavor. I prefer dry sake, so this is my personal favorite. This was my first visit to Joyo itself, so maybe I should visit the brewery next time!

Literally, it is a sweet sake with a fruit-like feel. Nevertheless, the aftertaste does not linger, and the sharpness of the sake is a quintessential Japanese sake. It is a brand I would definitely like to try again.

酒蔵なら泉勇斎

S.S
I had it as my last drink before closing time. Perhaps because it is a summer sake, it has a relatively refreshing taste and a strong aroma. Compared to the spring sake I was allowed to drink in Kyushu a few months ago, I think I prefer this one. I think I'll try to complete the seasonal limited editions this season. *We were treated to a drink by a person who happened to be in the same room with us! I would like to take this opportunity to thank you again 🙏.

酒蔵なら泉勇斎

S.S
Having received a recommendation for a dry sake earlier, I requested the opposite, a sweet sake, and this is what I was served. The color of the sake was a yellowish hue, something I had never seen before. When I drank it, I found that it had a heavy taste that left a firm impression on my mouth. As a sake beginner, I was grateful for the advice to learn these two tastes and use them as a basis for my own sake drinking, as they are the extremes of the super-dry sake mentioned earlier. (I still find it hard to believe that they are the same sake...) I also learned about "kijoshu" for the first time, which made me realize once again how deep the world of sake still is.

I asked the owner if there was any good dry sake, and he recommended it to me. It was a very tasty sake with an aftertaste that was clean and sharp, just as it is called "super dry"!
