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.
