The bottle was opened at a holiday lunchtime drinking party with friends.
It has a fruity aroma like muscat. It has the crispness that only nama-shu can have. There is a fruity sweetness like muscat and peach at first, followed by the umami of the rice, and then the impression that it disappears cleanly.
This is the first time I have had Jikin x Sake Mirai, and it is very delicious.
Good morning, b.bridge!
It's a good time for lunchtime drinking with your holiday friends. ⤴️
Jikin's Sake Mirai is delicious 🎵.
I'm reminiscing about how good it was after reading your review ✨.
I want to drink it again 😊.
Thank you, ma-ki-.
Lunchtime drinking just makes the sake taste even better lol.
I'm sure you enjoyed the Jikin Sake Mirai. I hope we can both drink again!
This is the first Kangiku sake using Sake Mirai that we have ever seen.
It has a sweet and fruity taste that is typical of Kangiku (← my personal impression), but at the same time, it has a delicious rice flavor, and it went down smoothly.
When the cover is removed, the bottle is opened with a vigorous popping sound.
Fruity aroma. The gasiness, sweetness, and umami, as expected, are delicious.
It has been a long time since I have obtained a special pure Nabeshima.
The bottle is opened with a sizzling sound of gas escaping.
The aroma is fruity, like apples and muscats. There is a pleasant chirichiri gas feeling, and at first a juicy sweetness like pineapple, then the umami of rice, and finally a sour astringency like grapefruit.
I still prefer Nabeshima Tokusyu. It is a pity that there are no stores near me that carry it.
I remember Hana Yuu was delicious, so I bought Suiyu from the same brewery.
Fresh aroma like fresh fruit. Fresh sweetness and rice flavor, followed by a fruity acidity.
It was also very tasty.
The bottle was carefully opened because it had a label warning against opening the bottle (but not even a squeak was made...).
We started with the top clearings. The first impression was fresh sweetness like melon and apple, followed by acidity and bitterness.
Then, mix in the lees. The impression is that the sweetness and umami of the rice has been added and the flavor has become richer.
I pulled out from the back of the fridge a BY2020 Yuyu Chizuen. I have had it before, but I like this year's very much.
The bottle was opened with a slight gasp sound.
We started with the first sip. It is juicy, yet has a refreshing sweetness and pleasant acidity.
When the lees are stirred in, the rice punch that is typical of Saga sake (←personal impression) comes out.
A clear sake version of Denshikiku.
The bottle was opened with the sound of gas escaping. The aroma is like fresh apples and pears.
The first impression is a juicy melon-like flavor with a restrained sweetness, followed by the umami of rice and a grapefruit-like acidity and astringency.
A version of Denshogiku Orikagarami.
The bottle was opened with a squeal of gas escaping.
First, just the top clearings.
It has a fruity aroma like apples and pears. The impression is of a gentle sweetness like pear and peach, followed by a pleasant acidity and astringency.
Then, mix in a fold.
The taste is much stronger than before. The lactic acid taste is strongly felt, and it gives the impression of the adult Calpis soda often referred to. I felt that this soda also ends with a sour astringent taste.
When I first drank it, I felt the attack typical of Aruze and avoided it for a while, but when I bought it last year, my impression of it changed.
It has a fruity aroma. It was not attacked in the typical way of Aruzoe, and while it was fruity, it also had the umami of rice, which made it easy to drink.
b.bridge I bought a bottle at a liquor store near the airport during a trip to Yamaguchi.
It was (probably) the first sake made with Hakutsuru-nishiki.
I was impressed by its fruity aroma.
I forgot to leave a detailed note, but I got the impression that it was delicious.
The bottle is opened with a sizzling sound of gas escaping.
The aroma is faintly fruity.
At first, there is a sense of gas and juiciness like pears and apples, and at the end, there is a slight astringency.
The sweetness is a bit restrained for a kangiku, and it goes well with a meal.
I prefer Yamadaho, another Saga sake, so I bought it because of the rice connection.
The aroma is faintly apple-like. At first banana, then melon-like sweetness, and finally some sourness and astringency with the umami of rice.
It is a well-balanced sake that goes well with meals.
At my wife's suggestion, we opened a bottle of her favorite Nabeshima Junmai Daiginjo Yamadaho.
The aroma was faintly fresh and pear-like. After the fresh pear-like freshness, you feel the umami of the rice, and the final impression is a slight astringent acidity that disappears cleanly.
Good morning, b.bridge!
Even if it's just an ordinary day, it's a special time when you and your wife sip on Nabe-sama's Jun-dai ✨.
I'd like to drink Nabe-sama's Jun Dai someday 😊.
Thank you, ma-ki.
I got carried away (?) because I was in a good mood. I was so excited that I ended up eating almost a whole bottle 💦.
I know it's strange for me to say this, but please enjoy it!
This is one of Nabeshima's most selfishly memorable bottles.
It has a fruity aroma. After the juicy sweetness, you get the impression of clean rice flavor.
When I first tasted it, I had the flashy impression (← my opinion) that this was Nabeshima, but I think the taste has changed considerably.
In any case, it is delicious and I would recommend this one to many people.
The largest number (number of nouveau brews) of hosasai I've ever had.
Fruity aroma like pear.
As usual, you can feel a chirpy gasiness. After the pear- and apple-like sweetness, the impression is of a clean rice flavor.
As expected, San-do is also one of my favorites.
A bottle I drank last year and liked.
Fruity aroma like muscat and peach. It has a juicy mouthfeel like pear or pineapple, but it is not as sweet as one would expect from Kangiku x Aizan. It is easy to drink, with a smooth finish.
Melon-like aroma.
After a modest juiciness compared to the aroma, the minerality of the rice is well felt. As time passes after pouring into the glass, the impression of minerality is felt more.
The sake is said to be brewed with a new yeast produced by a heavy ion beam breeding method developed by RIKEN.
It has a slightly fruity aroma, with a clean yet tasty impression of rice.
