Imanora千寿　白拍子　大古酒
Senju ShuzoShizuoka

Kaori
The color is a golden yellow, like that of a white wine. The aroma is very complex, with fresh acidity of lemon and other citrus fruits, shiitake mushrooms, elements reminiscent of the flavor of broth, and a fresh wood-like aroma. On the palate, the sweetness is moderate, but the texture is slightly thick and smooth. The umami element is surprisingly light, with a sharp and bitter aftertaste. The aftertaste is still very long and lingers on the tongue.

The color has a slight yellowish tinge. The aroma is characterized by a strong raw material scent. It has elements reminiscent of the sweetness and umami of freshly made rice cakes and white dumplings, grains such as barley, and a freshness like green bamboo. While the aroma is mainly raw material, it has a slightly refreshing impression reminiscent of barley shochu. The taste is very light and smooth in texture, probably due to the low alcohol content of 12 degrees. There are very few flavor elements, especially in the first half, and the aftertaste is crisp and clean. There is a bit of fresh and juicy acidity reminiscent of citrus fruits. The flavor is also moderate, and the aftertaste disappears quickly. It should be served well chilled.

The color is faintly yellowish. The aroma is mild and coherent. There is an impression of firm ripeness, such as apricot and shiitake mushroom broth, but there is also a bit of high-polish-like topping and white floral flourishes. On the palate, the texture is smooth, with a mild sweetness on the attack, followed by acidity in the second half, and a very firm sharpness. Towards the end, bitterness is added to the sharpness. In the aftertaste, a light but persistent flavor and bitterness linger on the tongue. The aroma in the aftertaste is much stronger than the initial aroma, and the flavor of the rice can be felt.

Kaori
The color is yellowish for a sake, about the color of a crisp white wine. The aroma is sweet like concentrated honey, mushrooms such as shiitake mushrooms, and umami like soup stock. It is about three years old, but it seems to have matured quite well. Rather than yogurt, it is more like fresh cream with a strong mellow dairy feel. The taste is different from the aroma in that it is mainly sour. However, there is a lot of lactic acid in the acidity, which gives a sense of fullness. It has a mellow sweetness, a firm sourness like dairy products, and a lingering umami taste. Perhaps because it is an unblended sake, it has a dense flavor. In the aftertaste and the lingering aftertaste, there is a strange odor like bitterness or astringency, which remains in the mouth for a very long time after swallowing. The water and alcohol mix smoothly, and you can feel that it is matured, but it does not have the feeling of maturation like a super old wine.

The color is clear and colorless. The aroma has a fresh sweetness like a green apple and a fullness like a freshly made rice cake or a white egg dumpling. The taste is characterized by a mellow sweetness on the attack and a thick mouthfeel typical of hiyaoroshi. From the latter half of the taste, a solid bitterness develops. This bitterness is a part of the Shizuoka's character that gives it a rocky feel. The aroma afterwards is pleasant with the impression of sweet rice.

The color is very clear and colorless. The aroma is gorgeous, with a hint of white peaches and white flowers. Kamishinbako, Shiratama dumplings, yogurt and light cheese. Overall, the aroma is reminiscent of white. On the palate, the first thing you feel on the attack is a gentle yet strong sweetness, then juicy sweetness and acidity spread out, and a dry acidity tightens the aftertaste.

It is said that it is made by maturing Junmai Daiginjo Genshu at ice temperature for a long time. The color is slightly yellowish. The aroma is gorgeous, with hints of white fruits such as lychee and white peach, and white flowers. However, it is not only gorgeous, but also has a savory taste like chestnuts and nuts. On the palate, the attack is mild and sweet. The mouthfeel is very smooth, perhaps because it is still aged. In the aftertaste, it is crisp and has a juicy acidity. In the aftertaste, the flavor that spreads slowly remains for a little longer.

It is clear and colorless. The aroma is high and gorgeous. Muscat, white peach and other fruits, and white flowers. There is also an element of bitterness reminiscent of minerals. On the palate, there is a firm sweetness from the attack and a firm crispness. There is also an elegant bitterness in the aftertaste. The aftertaste that lingers on the tongue is short, but the sharpness like high alcohol remains for a long time. It is a Junmai Ginjo (polished rice 50%) and the alcohol content is not high at 16 degrees, but it gives the impression of being slightly alcoholic. It is refreshing and crisp, so you can hope for a wash effect with fried foods. It could also be recommended when someone says, "I want to drink a dry sake. When the temperature slows down a little, the umami comes out, and the balance with the sharpness is good. Personally, I prefer it this way.

Sparkling rice wine! The color tone is colorless and transparent. The aroma is gorgeous, with an elegant sweetness of white fruits such as white peaches, and an orange-like impression reminiscent of juicy acidity. There is also an orange-like impression reminiscent of juicy acidity. In addition to the gorgeousness, there is also a raw material aroma. Perhaps because it is a sparkling wine, I feel the impression of minerality is stronger than usual without bubbles. The first thing you can't help but notice on the palate is the effervescence. It is the opposite of the elegant and fine expression of Champagne, which is the image of firm and vigorous bubbling and strong carbonation. And from the aftertaste, the sweetness and the flavor with acidity remain slowly. Because the bubbles are strong, the aftertaste remains, but it has a clean impression, and it seems to have a wash effect when combined with food. The alcohol content is 15 degrees, which is not high for sake, but it is sparkling and easy to drink.

The color is colorless and clear, with a brilliant crystal. The nose is also gorgeous. White fruits such as peach and Muscat, white flowers, and sweet spices like cinnamon.

However, it has a strong alcohol feeling and a crisp aftertaste that makes the bottom side tingle. There is also a feeling of bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste. This is a sake that should be served chilled.

The color is basically colorless and transparent, but it seems to be a little whiter than No.6. The aroma has a rich impression with more raw material incense, but there is an element of sourness, and citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit. Also, compared to No.6, which was generally mild and had a strong grainy impression, this wine has a mineral, oceanic impression. The taste is moderate sweetness, clean, light and smooth, elegant and slightly juicy acidity. It seems to go well with light fish, and it also goes well with fried food for the wash effect. The first half is juicy, and the second half is tight and crisp.

The color is clear and colorless, with a brilliant crystal. The aroma is rather mild and daiginjo, with a polish of 40, but the characteristics of the raw material aroma stand out more than the ginjo aroma. The aroma is more full-bodied than flamboyant. If it were a fruit, it would be cherries or strawberries, with a faint but slightly sweet and sour element. As for the aroma of the ingredients, there is an impression of steamed starch such as steamed rice, malted rice, steamed sweet potato, etc., which you can feel in Imo Shochu. In addition, there is an element of bitterness and astringency like chestnut skin. The taste is light and easy to drink, and the aftertaste is crisp. It makes you think that this is what Hakkaisan and Niigata's light dry taste is aiming for. The lingering umami is also strong, but not too long.

Miyazumi Junmai Daiginjo, Competition sake 100% Yamada Nishiki, Polishing ratio 40%. The color tone is completely colorless and transparent. Crystal clear. The aroma is very floral and apple-like fruit. It has a very polished rice-like feel, like shiratama dumplings or kamishingo. There is also a slightly syrupy, sugary sweet impression. On the palate, there is a mild sweetness on the attack, followed quickly by a sharpness. There is a sensation that the mouth is chattering even in the aftertaste, which is strange because the alcohol level is not high and the acidity is not strong. Not only the sharpness, but also the umami taste lingers on the tongue. The overall impression is not one of fullness, but rather a smooth and crisp mouthfeel.
