Polishing rice 65
The taste is typical of the Kinai Sake Brewery.
It is dry with a robust umami flavor, and the aftertaste is quite spicy.
I like it just as it would be if it were called Wataya.
Yamada-Nishiki, 55% polished rice
Wataya is on the rather stout side.
The concentration of umami is amazing.
The lingering aftertaste is surprisingly spicy.
Although some acidity is felt on the attack, Wataya is the ultimate food sake.
I've never seen this before!
Clean and tasty mouthfeel. It's a great answer. It goes well with seafood as a matter of course.
The color is rather yellow, but it's good on its own or with sushi.
Junmai Daiginjo followed. This one has a fluffy sweetness that spreads as one would expect! Overall, it is gentler and thinner than the Junmai. I prefer this one.
Aizan but Junmai? I was so surprised and had the first glass of Aizan. I guess it was because the temperature went up quickly, but before I could feel the unique sweetness, a pungent spiciness spread in my mouth. I remember I was like "Mmmm?
Yamadanishiki, 55% polished rice
It has a gusto of umami flavor, but is not that much cottony.
This is easy to drink by itself!
This is the best Wataya in a long time. Sometimes the aftertaste is a bit spicy, but the balance of acidity and umami is excellent.
I wonder if it was this type of Wataya that first got me hooked.
It was a bit pricey...I bought it at Haku-san in Sendai.
Gohyakumangoku, 70% polished rice
It has been a long time since it had a strong aroma. It has a piercing aroma.
Gutsy and dry. It's a very typical Han style.
It's useless to match something strong tasting with snacks. Dry taste for a man is also rare in this day and age.
A gift. Polishing rice 60%.
It has a flavor and spiciness that is quite close to that of a regular sake. When you eat a pinch of it, it is as refreshing as water. Jungin? It tastes like a Jungin.
Gin no Iroha, 50% polished rice
Sake with a strong sweetness. It is easy to drink at first, but the sweetness lingers in the mouth for a long time. Not bad at all.
Weak aroma. When paired with the plums we got together, the sweetness disappeared 💦 and it was like alcoholic water.
It tastes better without any garnish.
In-den after a long time!
It is yellowish in color.
It is a little sour, but has a heavy spiciness.
But it's so dry and refreshing when you have a snack...
Details unknown. Ordered for dry. I was gut-punched when I saw the description "super dry" on the bottle.
The color is quite yellow. It is very spicy. It's very hot. However, it has a long aftertaste, so it lingers for a long time. A quick snack!
Yamada-Nishiki, 60% polished rice
Crisp and dry. It has a "kuu" feeling.
I think it has a spiciness typical of Hidakami.
The one you want to have as a snack.
