Soft acidity and gentle melon-like sweetness. Rounded texture on the tongue. Stable taste even when the temperature rises. It is easy to drink, but it is a bad girl with a solid core.

Received by lottery by UTAGE. The taste is a little hard right after opening the bottle. After a while, as the temperature rises, a soft, thick sweetness and white grape-like acidity gradually arrive. There is a very slight feeling of gas.

Schwashy super energetic, struggled quite a bit to open the bottle. Finally, it was in the sink. Full of nigorigo, the aroma is soft rice sweetness, but the mouthfeel is quite dry.

A schwashy, energetic, adult cider. The first attack is dry and refreshing, with a moderate sweetness. After drinking, the sourness comes gradually along with the sweetness.

Next, the second plum work, a sake-based plum wine made with 500 grams of Shirakaga plums, 4 g of Momogawa nigori sake, and 120 grams of iced sugar. Last year's plum wine made with nigori sake was delicious with a soft sweetness, so we decided to make it again this year. According to the Sake Tax Law, we are required to use sake with a minimum alcohol content of 20 degrees Celsius. We just barely made it.

Hi Andrew 🌞. Your plum wine soaked in nigori sake sounds delicious 😊. I often read in recipes that the ratio of ume and icesugar is 1 to 1, but that's pretty conservative. Is it just right because the nigori of Momokawa is sweet? 🤔

The first ume work of the year. 1 kg of purple queen plums from Wakayama, a bottle of Dewazakura plum wine, and 300 g of icesugar. It is a must for those who do not like sweet plum wine. The one on the left is from a year ago (the plums are probably Nanko-ume).

Refreshing and sharp. It has a refreshing sharpness, a moderate acidity and sweetness, and a dry, clean taste. The taste is not boring, as one would expect from Shimehari.

Refreshing acidity with a gorgeous sweetness on the nose, the best balance. The astringency can be felt at the back of the tongue, and the sharpness is refreshing.

It was brewed by a recent graduate of the Fukushima Sake Academy this spring, who has been with the company for five years. The aroma is sweet and round on the palate. But the sharpness is refreshing and clear. The sweetness of the rice is retained while the finish is spicy, making it easy to pair with a variety of meals.

This bottle was received at La Jomon in Yamagata. The aroma is rich and expansive, with a round melon-like sweetness and light acidity. The slight astringency in the back makes it even more flavorful. Thank you for the delicious sake recommendation!
