I dropped by CRAFT SAKE WEEK 2023 at ROPPONGI HILLS for a short visit while I was in Tokyo. Shinmasa Sake Brewery was there, but there was a long line and I didn't have time, so I tried some other sake. They were all very tasty and the food and music were great. I found another new sake 🍶.
The aroma is broad and somewhat heavy on the palate, but crisp and dry. Is this the acidity! I preferred to drink it a while after opening the bottle 🍶.
We went to visit Ojin Shrine and had Miwa somen for lunch. On the approach to the shrine, there is a store directly owned by Imanishi Sake Brewery, and I got a bottle of their seasonal sake. It is a very easy to drink sake with a sweet taste. I wish I had bought a bottle. The main brewery was closed on Sunday, so I had to leave the sake for the day. Sake ice cream was also good 🍨.
Banana-like aroma, crisp and easy to drink. The sweetness spreads in the mouth and the taste is refreshing at the end. The aroma was more than usual, probably because I drank it in a wine glass.
It has a bitterness in the fruity taste with a touch of schwash. When I opened the bottle, the cork flew out like champagne. I prefer it when it is cooled down to a crisp. I think I prefer the Daiginjo Yamadanishiki. But if you take cost performance into consideration, the overall evaluation is high.
It was slightly effervescent and refreshing, but also sweet, with a slight bitterness at the end. The bitterness suppresses the sweetness and gives it a well-balanced aftertaste. Be careful not to drink too much.
It tastes like grapefruit. It will go well with any dish. It is crisp. But I can't tell if the crispness is grapefruit or the smell of alcohol. I don't like the smell of alcohol, but I think I can manage to drink it crisp and tasty. It is a different genre from Kaze no Mori and Matsumoto, which I have been drinking recently.
It has a taste that even those who don't drink much sake can enjoy. It is an easy-drinking sake with a slight sourness and a refreshingly tasty and refreshing taste. It is a reasonably priced, delicious, and well-balanced sake.
Easy to drink, like water in a good way. You can feel the crisp and refreshing taste, followed by a lingering fruity aftertaste. This is delicious 😋 Drink it cold or chilled and guzzle it down!
We had lunch at Soba Restaurant Iwano in Arashiyama, Kyoto and were served Kyoto's local sake. It is a rather mellow sake. This sake has a slightly mellow flavor. It might even go well warmed up!
It has been a long time since I have had an Ottersai. The aroma and sweetness of rice spread to the palate the moment you drink it. After that, it is refreshingly crisp and slightly dry. I thought Otters was a sweet sake, but I didn't know it was like this. It is delicious.
I got it at Naramachi. There were several varieties, so I tasted the different types and got one. The aroma in the mouth is wonderful and the taste is easy to drink.
