昔から日本酒好きでしたが、2024年から味わいを感じることに目覚めました。 「伝統的酒造り」がユネスコ無形文化遺産に登録された勢いにも乗って、さけのわを通じてもっと日本酒を楽しんでいきたいです! 8割方、家飲み。気になった酒をチビリチビリ呑みながら、形なしな個人の感想を残してます。 休日は、日が昇ってる頃はコーヒーに魅了され、日が暮れる頃はお酒に魅了されてます。

I recently went on a trip to Wakayama and bought some local sake near my residence that I had been holding back. First, I was surprised at the affordable price 🫢. I drank it and was amazed at how good it tasted, a bit out of proportion to the price. ‼️ I could smell the sweet aroma, and as I drank it, I felt a gentle sweetness like peach and apricot, a little tingling and stimulation, and a moderate sweetness that lingered afterwards. Holy cow!

The second bottle was Mimuro Sugi Tokubetsu Junmai Dry, Rohafu. The mouthfeel was like apricots and plums, softer and juicier than the Yamadanishiki we had the last time, with a bit of sweetness and fruitiness. After that, it is stimulating and sharp. The impression is round and dry. The second day after opening the bottle. The juiciness of the mouthfeel has somewhat decreased, and the dryness of the mouthfeel has become more pronounced. It's refreshing and good too. I heated a small amount in the microwave to try it out. It was soft, juicy, and sweet, with a hint of richness! I wondered if it was possible to heat sake that is not recommended to be refrigerated! Holy crap, I was addicted to 2 or 3 cups!

From the moment the cork was opened, the aroma of rice (I wonder if this is called "ginjo aroma"?) The mouthfeel was sharp with strong alcohol stimulation. The flavor of rice and sweetness also pass through the nose. It also has a somewhat oaky flavor. I would like to know more about this kind of sake. It has been about a week since the bottle was opened. 1/25, it started to have an aged flavor like soy sauce or men-tsuyu (T-T). 1/23, the stimulation and sharpness became milder right after the bottle was opened, but it was still delicious. What happened! I've been storing it in the vegetable room for a long time.

A refreshing sake that feels like sweet and sour, crunchy Fuji apples 🍎 followed by a slight bitterness in the freshness. It is a sake that makes you want to keep drinking while you savor it. I had been curious about this sake for a while, but when I saw that a liquor store in my neighborhood started carrying it, I was able to get it right away. I am happy to think that I will be able to drink it often from now on. ☺️

Juicy and sweet on the palate. There is a strong alcohol feeling afterwards, and in the aftertaste, the juiciness comes again and remains in the mouth with a moderate sweetness. It gives the impression of a peach, a specialty of Fukushima. A little hard peach before it is fully ripe. I used to not like sweet sake, but this is one of the first sake that I have come to enjoy.

Tastes like red grapes, mild and gently acidic. (It tasted like red grapes with a mild and gentle acidity.) But make no mistake, this was another one that made my heart tremble when I drank it. Looking forward to La jomon again this year😊.
