I bought it because it was sold at a local convenience store. It's not rare, but it's an easygoing drink.
Even when I was a student, I once drank it while having a potluck at a friend's boarding house. At that time, there was no picture of a whale on the label.
I like most sake lukewarm or cold, but this one tasted better when served a little hotter. It goes well with nabe (hot pot), grilled fish, simmered dishes, seared dishes, etc.
Purchased at a store in his area when I went to Mizukami, Gunma in October. All Gunma sake.
I compared it at room temperature, lukewarm, and hot, and I personally think lukewarm is better. It has a simple flavor that is not for outsiders.
I remember drinking this Nanbu Bijin somewhere in the past, but I am not sure where.
It has been a while since I drank it, but I found that this special junmai sake was not the type of sake that simply had a full-bodied rice flavor, but rather had the elegance of a ginjo sake. This is my personal opinion.
It was delicious with both sashimi and simmered dishes.
At a liquor store, I realized that I had never had Gunma sake before, so I bought it. I had it lightly chilled.
The ginjo aroma was subdued to my liking, with a hint of citrus (the bottle description said white peach and pear, but maybe that was just my nose) and some kind of flowery smell.
Rather than being full of rice umami, it tends to be on the lighter, lighter side, which may be natural since it is a daiginjo.
It is an easy-to-drink sake that is not for everyone.
Thank you very much.
I was attracted by the label with a distinctive design and bought it because it seemed to be imbued with the Ya Fat and Fat Rock I saw when I was a child. We are glad to hear that Mr. Matsumoto Leiji is doing well.
It was a sake that I could drink like water, more so than my personal favorite, Kouzen Josui. It is not that it has no characteristics, but it is a sake, but there is nothing to interfere with it, or rather, there is no sharp alcohol taste or overpowering aroma. I found a good sake.
Immediately after the bottle was uncorked, there was a carbonic acid-like shwizziness in the foreground. It seems different from the ginjo aroma, but peachy? like.
After a day or two, the assertion calmed down and I felt fruity but ricey. Personally, I enjoyed this one more. (Just my personal opinion).
I think it is usually served cold or at room temperature, but I think it would be surprisingly good warmed to lukewarm. If you make it hot, it's still no good.
This sake is too famous to be synonymous with Niigata and its light, dry taste, but I've never had it, so I bought it. It was more reasonable than I expected (2,750 yen including tax). When I had it chilled in the refrigerator, it had a subdued pear-like aroma and a slightly fermented yeast-like taste. (This is my personal impression.)
It's not doburoku, so there shouldn't be any yeast left, though.
It was delicious.
When I think of Miyagi, I have a strong image of Urakasumi from Shiogama, and I have never personally encountered a Sendai sake before, so I was intrigued and bought this one.
It's not a wine, but it's a medium-bodied rice sake, not too heavy, not too light, with a nice aftertaste.
I was attracted by the cool label and bought it.
Personally, I thought Momokawa was a bit thick in taste, but it is refreshing and light like Niigata sake.
It's a good summer sake for sure.
This is the second bottle of Chiyonohana that my parents sent me. It has the typical Chiyonohana fruitiness and a slight carbonation. It's delicious.
It's a sake, but it seems to go well with mozzarella and other refreshing cheeses.
I bought it when I went to Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture. It has a nice flavor that is different from the light and dry flavor. It has a nice, understated aroma that is hard to describe well.
It is a full-bodied sake without any sharp alcohol content. It's not loud and assertive, but like Shinhaku, it has a nice flavor in the middle. It's definitely a junmai sake.
