It was a day for glasses (a day for sake), and so was this (faint memory).
This is the second time I've had Machida Sake Brewery after Omachi, but is it really this rough?

Moscatel Barrel Aged
Unique sweetness, acidity, and umami that are not typical of sake, perhaps due to the wine barrel aging process.
The strongest flavor is clearly the umami, but each flavor is full of character.
The acidity, citrus-like bitterness and sourness are woven together, while there is also a fresh muscat-like flavor that comes from Shunyo.
The complexity of the overlapping of several flavors.
I think I have seen the ultimate in the difference between labor and price.

Too elegant.
The juicy sweetness from the melon aroma is similar to that of a normal Junmai Daiginjo, but the impression is even fresher, with a more gentle sweet aftertaste.
The technique of making the taste seem so price-approved while retaining so much of the Mimuro-sugi character...

Sweet.
Apple sweetness with some mild acidity.
But sharp
Slight bitterness, but the flavor is quickly cut off and a hint of sweetness remains.
As one would expect from Shinshu Kamerei!

I've never had Anastasia Green, but the concentrated citrusy bitterness and acidity certainly remind me of twilight orange.
However, it is sweeter and more mellow than Anastasia Green.
The low alcohol content also makes it taste like a juice!
Delicious!

Berry-like acidity gives way to a distinctive bitterness and umami.
Not unpleasant, but rather light, including a sense of a "shwash".
Fairly low sweetness for an Abe.

Sweet and delicious, just like Kangiku.
It is a clear sake, but it has a particularly sticky sweetness.
Perhaps it is the nature of Yamashu No. 4, but the rich sweetness typical of Yamadanishiki and the gorgeousness typical of Kinmonishiki are brought out to the fullest!
It is a strange modern sake that is so sweet, yet light once swallowed.

Resuming check-ins after skipping them.
Don't carry over from this year to next year
I'm going to keep my comments low key.
Mellow, autumnal, junmai-like sake with a gentle spread of umami and sweetness.
