This is a brand that used to occasionally appear on the drinking menu at my favorite bar. It has a strong piquancy, a low alcohol content of 13 degrees, a fresh aroma that is not too assertive, and in my opinion, the highest level as a food sake. There are some good sake in Nara, such as Kaze no Mori.
It was delicious last year, and this year it did not disappoint. As the name suggests, it has a nice thickening effect.
However, it was a pain in the ass to drink. The cap was relatively easy to open without too much foaming, but the lumps of sediment were drifting around and didn't dissolve, making it difficult to pour into a glass.
This is delicious! Seriously delicious!
I have had many sparings of this type of nigori type, but this may be the best.
The degree of nigguri-ness, the degree of fizz, the aroma, and the taste are well balanced, not too strong or too weak.
The label on the back of the bottle says it goes well with fruit, and that may be true.
When poured, the bubbles on the surface of the beer are squishy and hit the lips. It is very thick and you feel as if you are swallowing it. It tastes like thick milk. The taste and aroma are pleasant and easy to drink. I look forward to this sake every year.
When the cork is loosened, the gas is released. The light mouthfeel is mixed with notes of muscat and rice. A little subtle.
The silhouette of the bottle is as nice as ever.
The screw cap was loosened and tightened, and the bottle was opened after about a minute's struggle. During that time, the sinking cage was removed by itself and the bottle was ready to drink. The cloudy color was so-so. I look forward to this sake every year.
Polished 35

It tastes just like these specs, though,
Above all, it has a great aroma, wafting with the sweetness and sourness of ripe grapefruits.
It is not so cosy because it costs over 3,000 yen for a four-pack and it is light, sweet, and easy to drink. However, it is a good sake that I think is good once in a while! It is a good sake.
Strange!
It doesn't blow out when I remove the cap, but it's cakuhaning on its own! And in no time at all, it turned a thick milky white.
It's a bit hard to drink when it's this thick, but even so, the four-pack was half full before I knew it. The degree of dryness is good.
The apple-like aroma and the smooth taste. It has been a long time since I last tasted Yamamoto, but it was still delicious. By the way, apples go well with snacks!
Again, the activity is good, and just by loosening the cap, the beer is ready to be poured. The shwash when pouring it is intriguing just by looking at it. Once you start drinking it, the lightness of the 14% alcohol content will keep you going. I think it is the best of this type.
As a food sake, it is probably my No. 1 sake ever.
The clarity when poured, the fine bubbles, the fresh aroma, the tanginess when you drink it, and the refreshing acidity at the end. Truly delicious.
It is a limited edition sake, with the specifications "Nama-shu" and "Orikagami", but the brand name is simply Junmai-Ginjo and nothing else is written about it. Is this the standard for sake called Abe? The light sweet and sour taste is outstanding!
The taste is beautiful, as only a 40% polished daiginjo can be. The pineapple that is synonymous with hana-yosu is delicious, though not very pronounced.
What is it? It's so cloudy, but it's so clear with no umami flavor. It has a doburoku-like flavor, without the typical calpis-like acidity. I don't think I'll like it next time. Maybe it's for connoisseurs? If you are not a drinker, you may not like it.
Or perhaps... It's a food drink that you can't stop drinking. It's not so bad when you drink it.
