My first scent! It's like smoked grains and beans, long aged, brown rice cellar aroma with a touch of glamour!
The ajiwai is dry and easy to drink, and today we had it with yuanyaki, and it was a very nice marriage!
With Aizan and a milling ratio of 80% (no indication of koji or kake rice), I was prepared for a rich and complex taste, but this sake has a much cleaner aftertaste than I imagined!
There's a bit of bitterness mixed in with the acidity in the aftertaste, but basically it's just delicious without a hint of grinding roughness!
Since it is described as "bagging", it is likely to be more than a ginjo in terms of production.
This is a bottle that has a rich sweetness with some acidity in it.
I haven't bought a bottle of Urakasumi in a while.
The #6, #7 and #9 yeasts are well known, but this was the first time I've had a saké that was made with the yeast #12 on the label.
It had a slightly sweet aroma and a strong acidity for Urakasumi, but it didn't leave a long aftertaste.
This is a sake made with "Hana-Moji," a type of rice suitable for sake brewing in Aomori Prefecture. This is the first time we've seen this brewery.
The aroma is quite fruity, the taste is not too sweet in the mouth, but it is rich and mellow.
The aroma is quite fruity and the taste is not too sweet in the mouth, but mellow and mellow.
The nose is quite fruity, and although it's listed as +10, it's not that spicy, just enough to give you a good taste! We had it as a mealtime drink, but it's also a very good one on its own!
The aroma is rich and forebodingly sweet, but when you drink it, it's elegantly sweet and wonderfully crisp, very easy to drink and I soon ran out of 4 cups.
Personally, this was one of my top three favorite sake drinks of the year.
My favorite Urakasumi's Special Junmai Hiyaoroshi.
It's refreshing but not too spicy and very easy to drink.
The acidity was a little strong, but I think it depends on your personal taste.
I enjoyed it very much.
It is very easy to drink and has a strong core.
It has a gentle aroma for a Daiginjo, but it matches the taste very well and will be enjoyed by taste much more than by smell.
I haven't had a traditional junmai sake like this one lately, so I'm very excited. It has a strong alcoholic attack, slightly dry and leaves a slightly bitter aftertaste. Personally, I like it very much as a food saké.
Probably hard to accept for those who are new to drinking sake or those who like sweet sake, but if you like junmai sake, this is a must drink!
It has a soft, smooth, slightly sweet taste on the tongue, and is very easy to drink and elegant. There is almost no aftertaste, and even those who don't like sake can enjoy drinking this wonderful bottle.
Since it's called "on the rocks," it has a slightly high alcohol content of 19%.
I tried it straight prior to drinking it on the rocks. The alcoholic flavor is definitely strong, but even if you don't drink it on the rocks, it has a refreshing, non-alcoholic smell. The fact that it's slightly dry is also good, and I don't feel it has much of a full-bodied flavor to it.
When we filled the glass with ice and had it on the rocks, the fact that it was chilled and watered down made it even more refreshing. It makes you feel less alcoholic and very drinkable!
It's the perfect accompaniment to a hot night in the coming season (^^)
A wonderful bottle of drunken whale goodness with a touch of spiciness!
It's dry, but it's backed up with flavor and provides a very tasty sip for anyone who drinks it.
It has been a long time since I had a sake from Niigata Prefecture.
The taste was dry and clear, and the aroma was unusual for a sake from Niigata. I did, and the results are great!
Very dry! There are many dry flavors such as Bakuren and Sanboshi, but this is one of the most impressive flavors I've had recently that sticks out on the tongue. Alcohol.
