Toyobijin醇道一途 限定純米吟醸 西都の雫

Toyo Bijin Jundo Ittou Limited Junmai Ginjo Saito no Shizuku It's been a while since I've had a Toyo Bijin. It is full of juiciness reminiscent of apples and pineapples, a bit sweet, but the bitterness at the end gives it a good overall balance. I heard that the fourth generation Sumikawa brewer trained at Takagi Sake Brewery when he was a student! It is strange that it feels like Jyushiyo when I hear that 🍶.

Sawa Masamune Namaeshu (Sake before the tank) New sake purchased during a brewery tour at the Furusawa Sake Brewery in Sagae City. It has a freshness of new sake, a drinkability of 19 degrees Celsius, and a rich and thick taste, with a modest slightly cloudy gaseous taste. It was also priced at a high CP of 1,300 yen 🙌.

Kakuemon Tokubetsu Junmai Sokkaku Sokkaku Sokkaku Zume" (Kakuemon special junmai) Kakuemon with a spring-like pink label 🍶. It is a fresh, capsule type sake. The label and the color of the sake made me think of sweet and tasty schwarz, but the pineapple-lingo after bitterness is impressive. It tastes good and you won't get tired of drinking it.

Naraman Junmai Namaisake Orikagarami It's spring, so let's try a new sake from Naraman 🌸. Very gentle melon-like sweetness, easy to drink with no peculiarities at all, moderate gas, and a slight bitterness and dryness at the end. I drank it all at once. A stable, quintessential wine 👏.

Sei Junmai Ginjo Yamadanishiki Nama Shu The other day, I bought a bottle of Sei with an austere label from Lajomon. This is the right capsule type sake. It has a gorgeousness that makes you think this is the right capsule type, mango-pineapple fruitiness, a nice gassy feeling, good acidity, and a good dryness. It's good to have something like this once in a while👍.

Miyazumi Junmai Ginjo Miyamanishiki Nama Sake I bought the red label when I was back home in Aizu. The red label with gold lettering is just like the gorgeous image of the label: apple fruity, peachy sweetness, well balanced with a touch of bitterness, and no unpleasant gassiness. It is also delicious! (I am still an Aizu lover lol).

Miyakanbai Junmai Ginjo SPRING TIME My favorite Shiki TIME series🍶. It has a soft mouthfeel, gorgeous aroma, and a pleasant gaseous taste, which is typical of Miyakanbai. However, I think it is a little too sweet for me... If you like sweet and easy-drinking sake, this is for you.

The ginjo aroma of a daiginjo is subdued, but the flavor of Yamadanishiki is well balanced with sweetness and acidity. I drank the whole bottle in one go 💦.
