日本酒BAR あうん屋
26
S.S
The aroma is subtle, yet has a core that penetrates deep into the nose. On the palate, one senses a rounded sweetness. The complex flavor is hidden deep within, perhaps due to the combination of six different types of rice? The aftertaste is clean and does not linger. The end leaves a slightly peculiar flavor in the mouth. It is somewhat similar to rice crackers. At first, I thought the taste might be too strong, but the overall impression is very gentle. It is a very interesting taste that I have not had much of before, and I want to savor it in my mouth. And the label is very beautiful ✨.

The aroma is a mixture of sweet and sour. When you put it in your mouth, a strong sour taste spreads after a short pause. The aftertaste is throat-stabbing and astringent. It stays in the throat rather firmly. The overall taste is slightly peculiar. It seems to be a favorite of both lovers and haters. It may be too much for a single person or a light-flavored dish.

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"!
