Umu-umu. Ginjo-like aroma and sweetness. It also has a spiciness that makes you feel a bit spicy. I may buy it occasionally from now on, since I found out that it is delicious and can be easily purchased in my neighborhood.
A schwashy, local cider-like drink.
Delicious!
It tasted like a cured ham melon when paired with a cured ham.
I didn't know that it was only available at the distributor, but I bought it as recommended by the store, and it was a great decision.
The taste is as good as the brewer's comment that it is characterized by its lack of characteristics and does not interfere with meals.
It is just right for my taste.
When paired with grilled Akinatai fish, the bitterness of the mountain well disappears, and the taste changes to a sweet and subtle flavor that disappears quickly.
It is sold only in one bottle, and the contents seem to change depending on the season.
It has a strong gaseous taste and a strong alcohol taste.
I bought it expecting a cider-type sake, but it just didn't have what I was looking for.
I've bought Sawanoi before, but I get the sense that they are aiming for a dry sake with a distinct bitterness and sourness.
It's a little off my taste buds, but it's a valuable Tokyo sake brewery, so I hope they keep up the good work.
Gizaemon Hatsu Shibori NOUVEOU
Purchased without tasting at the Iga Festival in Ueno? Purchased it at the Iga Festival in Ueno without tasting it!
When it was first opened, it tasted delicious, with a refreshingly sweet melon aroma and a strong gassy, piquant cider taste.
On the second day, sourness and bitterness started to appear.
We enjoyed it as an early sipper.
I think I'm going to be addicted to this first pressing sake.
Koriyama Purchase special junmai at Izumiya
The wine is slightly carbonated and cider-like right after it is uncorked. You can gobble it up without any snacks.
Today, on the fifth day, sourness and bitterness appeared.
I would like to drink it with rice crackers or okaki.
No unnecessary aroma, acidity, or bitterness.
Slightly sweet and mellow flavor that spreads and disappears quickly.
It is like a regular sake similar to Izumikawa.
Very much to my liking
At Toroyoshi, Numata
Tastes like a slightly carbonated cider right after being uncorked. The aroma is gorgeous.
When swallowed, it goes down smoothly with little alcohol taste. Even people who are not good at drinking sake can drink this. It tastes like a sake.
After the second day, the color changes to an old sake-like color, and the sake-like taste becomes stronger. The acidity also becomes stronger. It still tastes good, but because it tastes so good right after it is uncorked, it doesn't taste like this. It would have been better to finish it on the same day. I want to become a stronger drinker.
Izumikawa and Tobiroki in a drinking comparison.
To my surprise, Izumikawa tasted better.
The gorgeous aroma and acidity of the Tobiroki tastes like a bit of a clutter after drinking the Izumikawa.
It is possible that I just have a poor palate!
At Masumoto in Koriyama
The first bite, when thoroughly chilled, is like a mouthful of melon, with a refreshing sweetness.
The first sip alone is very good, but the bitterness that comes out as it gets warmer and warmer is not for the taste buds of young children.
At Masumoto in Koriyama
The mouthfeel is sweet and the aroma is mild.
No sake feeling when swallowing, a type that disappears quickly.
I couldn't find Asahitaka in Yamagata.
I couldn't find Asahitaka in Yamagata, but I can easily buy Izumikawa, a good sake in the same lineage, so I may switch to this one.
For now, I got two bottles.
At Masumoto, Koriyama
From the time you put it in your mouth until you swallow it.
A soft sweetness spreads and fades away
It was recommended to use super soft water for a softer taste. I see! That's what I thought.
There is not much alcohol left in the mouth, which I really like.
After opening the bottle, the sourness and alcohol taste gradually increased.
Today, on the fourth day, the sourness has become more pronounced.
But it is still delicious.
But if you are going to drink it, you might as well drink it up right away.
Light amber colored sake.
Weak sourness and bitterness in the mouth.
Not very distinctive?
After swallowing, it disappears without any aftertaste.
A sake that doesn't interfere with food?
I could not grasp the characteristics.
Amber color, like old wine.
The first taste is astringent and sour.
The aroma is a little smoky.
After swallowing, there is a strong alcohol feeling
The aftertaste is similar to mirin.
At Tokushima Shokusai Youjin
Clean green apple aroma.
The sweetness in the mouth is typical of ginjo-shu.
After the sweetness disappears, there is a lingering bitterness.
There is not much alcohol smell after swallowing.
At Ichizuru Marugame Honten
Goes well with tori-miso cheese!
Slightly carbonated
Not too peculiar when opened.
The aftertaste is a little less alcoholic than recommended, but that's about right.
After a while, it smells like green apple.
I like it because it's not too alcoholic
It's not as good as Asahi Taka or Abe Kan.
