It is a deliciously mellow sake that tastes a little different from Yamada-Nishiki alone. The aftertaste is also quite continuous and strong, leaving a lasting impression.
I think it is definitely an interesting drink, and not just because of its name. It has an elusive taste, which may be liked or disliked depending on one's taste.
Indescribable sweetness and sake aroma. I didn't know that Kame-no-o could be this sweet. I am happy to see that Niigata sake is doing well. I enjoyed it.
It has been a long time since I have had rice wine. Upon closer inspection, I found that this was the first time I have had a sake rice called Koshiro-Nishiki. The dark sweetness has a great impact. I have not had such sweetness since the last tasake I had. I enjoyed the contrast with Niigata's light dry sake.
Tobirazumi was given to me by a great senior Shimoto (a person who is from Akita, Japan). I had imagined the gold and silver intensity of shochu, but the sake was completely different; it made me think it was light, but it had a deep flavor. Miyamanishiki comes later.
This was my first visit to Kyushu, and I thought I would have no choice but to drink a variety of shochu, but a shopkeeper explained to me that sake is the main drink in places like Oita, and shochu is only available in Kagoshima and Fukuoka. I am not sure what he meant, but I drank several kinds of sake, each of which was good. I also learned for the first time that there is such a thing as sake registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was a good sake with a strong flavor and sake-like taste.
Hakkaisan is known for its light and dry taste, but this one had a slightly sweeter and thicker taste, which was different. However, it may be available only in Niigata. It is delicious.
It comes in from sweetness and has a gorgeous fruity flavor. Kamonishiki's kafuda sake can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, and it is good for variety.
It is an easy to drink sake with no peculiarities. It is neither spicy nor sweet, and is easy to enjoy with a meal. It seems to be made from sasashiki.
It's been a while since I've had a dry sake, but today's dry sake has just the right taste that doesn't interfere with meals. I wish there would be more sake like this. I didn't take any pictures, so here are some clippings.
I was told that it goes well with raw oysters, so I had it with them. I didn't compare it to other sakes, but I couldn't tell the big difference between the sweet mellow and umami mellow sakes, but I enjoyed the sakes themselves.
This sake aims to be the bubbles of sake. It is quite bubbly when poured. After that, it stays cloudy for quite a while. The taste is quite sweet, so it is best to have it in moderation.
It's been a while since I've had a brewed sake. It's supposed to be a ginjo-shu that goes well with fish, but the density and sweetness are also there.
I feel that it is a traditional Niigata sake strain. It has little astringency or bitterness, so it does not interfere with meals and can be drunk on its own. It can be drunk on its own without interfering with a meal.
The bitterness and astringency do not come out, and the sweetness is felt to be enhanced. I don't know what percentage of Kame-no-o it is, but it is a cosy sake.
It's been a while since I drank sake, and Junmai Ginjo. And it's a sake from Gifu, which I like. The rice seems to be called Hida Homare.
The aroma is very good, and expectations are high. The taste is calm, mellow and a little sweet, and I felt it was a modest Ginjo. It's also very cosy.
