The aroma and fruity flavor are right in the middle of Akatake. This year's summer sake was also delicious, but this is the time of year when it is most appreciated. Yummmm!
It's sparring, so of course it's a sizzling festival.... The sizzle is too much in the front and the good balance is hidden in the back... Of course it is delicious, but... it would be better after the second day, when the carbonation has subsided a little.
Purchased at Karuizawa Inamaya during a light snowfall. The following is the conversation at the time of purchase: "How long until you get home? About an hour." "It must be kept at a low temperature. Drink it immediately after opening." "Okanashita, please carry it in a cooler box.
And my impression after drinking it...it is right in the middle of classic and modern, the freshness is...well...perfect...it is too well-balanced even if it is stored well. I thought this encounter might be a little incidental.
I feel a strange complexity beyond the aroma and umami, or perhaps a pleasant aftertaste that lingers in the back of the throat. I feel something that is out of my current ability to express with my tongue and words. I think it is a sake that measures the ability of the receiver. I hope to drink it again next year.
It is like Sentori, the moment you put it in your mouth, it is like Sentori, but it is different. It is a concentrated version of Sentori's good points, and it is a taste of a world beyond Sentori. It's good, and you should definitely try it if you can.
A winter version of the summer sake "Omine," which has become a standard drink for private consumption. This is the first time for me to drink this winter version. It has more depth than the summer version. I think I will be able to welcome winter calmly.
It's been a while since I've had a chance to try Gakki Masamune. It is said to be the most cost-effective instrument Masamune, but putting the price aside, it's great. The sense that it never misses is wonderful.
My first impression (in a good way, of course) was that although this is Kaze no Mori, it is not Kaze no Mori at all. The fruity flavor is as usual, but the depth and richness are richer. I'm anxious to see what will happen next, and I'm thinking that alpha2 will be next. gulp
Actually, it was my first time to drink at Toyo Bijin-san. I had some prior input that she was a 14th generation disciple of Toyo Bijin, so I wondered if she was like that or not. What was it like? I had it while imagining what it would be like.
It is sweet and fruity. It was exactly what I imagined a modern sake would be like. Delicious!
The Graduates are said to have a lemon-like sourness, and I found it to be so. The lingering bitterness is also lemon-like. I think it is similar to Oumine in image.
The moderate acidity is followed by a refreshing sensation. The freshness is not as pronounced as it should be, but it is a refreshing feeling different from that of summer sake. I like it. It is an unlikely feeling, which is nice.
According to the label on the back of the bottle, it has a "slight umami" flavor, but I personally felt a rich umami derived from rice (perhaps because the bottle had been open for a day). The sharpness is as you say. The word that came to mind was "authentic". It's good as a food wine, or a sipping wine on a long autumn night. Oh, it's wonderful.
I've had a cold for the past few days due to the change of season, but I'm a little better now, so I'll have a gulp.
This time, it's a hiyaoroshi from Yokoyama (maybe for the first time?). I wonder if this sweetness is only possible with hiyaoroshi. I wondered if this delicious sweetness was only possible with hiyaoroshi, and thought that the lingering, moderate ginjo aroma that lingers in the aftertaste is autumn.
If you catch a cold, you will not be able to drink, so please take good care of yourselves.
It is a test brew, and it seems that white malted rice was used to produce a sour taste.
It is true that it has a sourness that is not usually found in Niigata and Fukushima sake. But I don't feel any discomfort.
I may request this for next year's summer sake. I think it will be a good balance of Garakudai's Niigata and modernity. I'm looking forward to it.
This is Kame no Kai, the winner of this year's summer sake category in my opinion.
It has a different flavor from Semi Shigure, which is all about the suppa, or rather, I thought it was all about the umami (flavor). I thought it was a bit different from Semi Shigure, which is all-out on the flavor side (although, like Semi Shigure, it is delicately balanced). It's a balance breaker, but it's balanced, which is a contradiction.
I don't drink much heated sake, but I thought it would be good lukewarm as well. (It's about to explode with umami...).
