I have always been curious about this sake.
I almost didn't think I would have a chance to buy it, but I bought it on a business trip to Kyushu.
Let's enjoy a modern one in the current style, shall we?
It seems to be Yamada-Nishiki to the fullest.
The classical label is also being strengthened (^^).
It has a sense of maturity and is delicious.
It can be served chilled, but we prefer it warmed.
Hokkaido festival-like at the local supermarket.
Rock on to the classic design.
Slightly sweet, not too sharp, and tastier than expected.
A little over 2,000 yen for a special junmai, very cosy.
Sometimes, you get a stylish departure.
The first sip has a sweet and fizzy taste, but is it actually a sweet and fizzy type?
There is a bitterness in the back, and it has a solid drinking experience.
I had a preconceived notion from the label that it was fruity nowadays, but I was wrong.
But is it sweet?
I went to a liquor store in Kannonji.
Sake from Hiroshima was here and there.
I was attracted by the name, the sake's fresh yeast yeast, and the fact that it is brewed in wooden vats, so I bought some. The owner of the sake shop told me that Saijo is famous for Hiroshima, but this is the only sake brewery in the north that makes its sake on higher ground.
When I paid the bill, I was asked what kind of sake I liked. I replied, "A robust one.
He replied that it would be good, and my expectations were high. I was told that the flavor of the sake would develop as it sits, so I decided to give it a try.
This one was quite to my liking.
It is firm and has good umami and acidity.
It can be served cold or heated.
I went to the Shikoku Sake Festival.
I always buy a bottle, but this time it was this one.
My impression from the tasting was that it was a little off my taste buds, but I decided to give it some time to drink.
I'm thinking of opening the bottle in about 6 months, but I'm fighting patience.
It's just my personal feeling, so please don't use it as a reference. LOL!
I couldn't resist.
The first sip is fruity, but from the aftertaste and the second sip, the complexity and bitterness come through and it goes down smoothly.
It has a nice sweetness and calmness even when heated. It was quite good.
I received this as a souvenir.
First time hearing about this sake brewery. I'm looking forward to it.
I thought it was a bit classic when drunk cold, but it was easy to drink when heated.
I wonder if this is what a honjozo is like.
First time as Tamagawa, Tamakae.
I'm very interested in it because I love the natural brewing series.
I love this type. Chilled today, it has a nice sweetness and acidity.
I think it would be good to drink it warmed up or left to sit for a while. I can't stop thinking about it.
What kind of things?
What do you think?
It took me quite a while to open the bottle.
The taste is sharp without being sweet.
The smooth mouthfeel, sweetness, and umami are quite good.
I am satisfied with my first active nigori.
It will be a very enjoyable taste. It is a pleasure.
It has no peculiarities, and it seems to enter the body smoothly. I am enjoying it cold at first, but I would like to enjoy it at different temperatures in the future.
Kidoizumi is known for its maturity.
Aged well in 2016BY. The type that is soaked in a barrel, which is becoming rare these days. I am looking forward to it.
This is a wonderful amber color.
A mass of umami.
It can be served as it is, but it is best served warmed.
I paired it with simmered suji (a type of beef tendon), and it asserted its umami while washing away the oil from the suji.
There is a hint of oak aroma, and it is irresistible from an aging perspective.
Drink the latest trend too.
The drink is juicy and easy to drink.
I thought it would be sweet, but it goes down smoothly. It must be popular among women.
I received this from a friend who does not drink sake.
2020 production is naturally aged at room temperature.
Now, what does it taste like?
A sip in cold water.
It has a nice sweetness that has been removed from the corners. Not bad cold. Next, I'm going to try the real thing, heated sake.
I was attracted to the 2009 brew and purchased it.
I want to enjoy long aging.
It is quite matured. Good warmed sake, full of umami, yet crisp and not boring to drink.
Excellent and moderately priced.
The one I've always been curious about.
Opened the bottle after a year of sale.
No fizzing. I think it must have been sloughing off a bit at a time.
Taste is sweet and delicious.
Sometimes popular brands.
I thought Loman was fruity, but is it less sweet? Because it's the back?
Try warming it up. Try it lukewarm!
It has a subtle sweetness and a smooth, crisp mouthfeel.
