a gift from a friend of mine
It was left in the hallway for 2 years 😅.
It has a slight spiciness and flavor, with a minerality that comes through quickly afterwards.
Would it be sharper if it hadn't been manufactured so long?
When you open your mouth, there is a gulp of alcohol.
The label on the back reads 18 degrees.
As the day goes by, the alcohol feeling goes away and the spiciness increases.
I heated up the last goupe of sake, and the umami flavor grew, but the spiciness was still there.
I drank the first sip at an izakaya.
It is mild on the palate and has a hiyaoroshi feeling.
Akagisan has an image of being dry because we drink only active nigori-style sake, but this one is sweet and tasty.
Black Phoenix has been a long time coming.
Mild and mellow on the palate.
Surprisingly, the spiciness comes later.
I think it is better when it is cooled down.
As usual, I mix all the ingredients from the beginning, but this time it took 40 minutes to open the bottle.
It is still the same apple juice.
It was a little more acidic than the last time, and had more apple flavor.
The bottle was finally opened after being left in the refrigerator for a while.
Hachitan Nishiki
Slightly effervescent, juicy and refreshing with a hint of umami acidity.
As the day passed, the acidity settled down and the flavor became mellow and umami-driven.
First time in a while?
I opened my mouth, and there was a chemical feeling, so I left it for 3 days.
It had a slight ginjo aroma and more umami, and I felt a strong sense of minerality.
The slight spiciness that comes later is also nice.
I rescued a ras 1, at a liquor store.
It was okay to open the bottle because of the perforated stopper, but it took a long time because the stopper was hard.
It is a lactic acid sour type, and the mouthfeel is smooth.
As the day goes by, the sourness settles down and you can taste the umami and sweetness.
Since I bought it late this year, it had lost its shwashy vigor.
I left it in the fridge, wondering when I would drink it.
It is more effervescent than expected and rough on the palate.
It has quite a ginjo aroma, umami, and sweetness, but it has a nice dry feel with a lot of acidity.
When cold, it has only a sweetness, but as the temperature rises, it has a strawberry-like flavor.
It also has a mellow flavor, but would it be better to have a little more acidity?
It has a slight ginjo aroma, and as the temperature rises, it has a nice mellow feeling.
The last time I drank it, I had the impression that it was sweet, but this year's version has a spiciness to it.
All Gunma Maikaze series
Slightly effervescent, with a sharp taste on the palate.
After a few days, the mildness and umami taste increases.
The slight spiciness that comes later is also nice.
Maikaze series, all Gunma sake.
Gunma Izumi's raw sake.
It has a slight banana taste with a hint of citrus.
The slightly spicy taste afterward is also nice.
It is juicy and refreshing.
The acidity is not so strong, so you can also taste the umami.
Made from Yamadanishiki produced in the Nishiwaki district of Hyogo Prefecture.
This year, too, it is Omachi.
It is juicy with a slight gasiness and umami.
The acidity is a little strong and refreshing.
It is good for this time of year.
Miyamanishiki, 1801 yeast
Mouth opening, there was a strong bitterness and a chemical feeling.
There was a different impression from usual, but after a couple of days, it was always Sakiyami.
Slightly effervescent, sweet and juicy with a juicy acidity, green apple-like flavor, and a tangy aftertaste.
It is a Ryuki with an ink art label.
It has a lot of acidity and is refreshing.
The flavor will come after a few days, but the acidity is still too much.
However, it is refreshing and good for this season.
I wanted to drink something refreshing, so I chose this one because it was made with white malted rice.
It is slightly sparkling, has a slight sweetness, and is refreshing.
The lingering sourness that comes afterward is also nice.
