This is a sake from Yuzawa, Niigata, but the Tsurumai-u label is limited to Gunma Prefecture. At 14 to 15 degrees alcohol by volume, it is one degree lower than the regular product and has a more refreshing taste. As the name suggests, it is a watery sake.
Aged in the liquor store's fridge, this sake was produced in November 2020. Superb value at 770 yen for 720 ml due to inventory clearance. It has none of the roughness of freshly squeezed sake. It has a mild aroma with a hint of koji on the palate and a dry taste with moderate acidity. Goes well with bonito tataki.
Manufactured in January 2017. Sake that has been well controlled and matured in a liquor store's refrigerator. Superb value at 770 yen for 720 ml due to inventory clearance. The condition is perfectly sound with no problems at all. It is rather full of umami. It has a great balance of aroma, sweetness, umami, and acidity.
White koji brewing that produces a lot of citric acid, plus 3 times the usual amount of koji. Lactic acid bacteria, Calpis, Yakult, and drinkable yogurt! Drink it with 6% alcohol.
Gorgeous melon-like aroma typical of daiginjos. Slightly sweet and light. It is said to be slightly filtered to preserve the flavor of the main body of the sake. Therefore, it is slightly yellow in color.
At Temmonkan, Kagoshima, Japan. Junmai-shu (pure rice sake) brewed by Nishi Shuzo, famous for its premium shochu "Tomino Hozan" and "Kitcho Hozan". This is a raw sake with juicy acidity. Delicious!
Last month, after visiting the brewery, I bought it at a directly-managed store. When I asked about Kubota's most aromatic product, I was told it was Junmai Daiginjo. It has a high aroma and flavor. It is a modern Kubota, different from Niigata's light and dry Kubota. It is as expected!
This Omachi is freshly pressed and bottled directly from the bottle. It has a fresh, slightly effervescent taste, but it is deliciously thick and acidic!
