Impressive dryness and fresh acidity. As the label says, it tastes great with sashimi😍.
It is not all about dryness and acidity, however, as it also has sweetness and umami, which is unique to nama-shu, so it is not a sharp taste.
The price was 1,200 yen (tax not included) for a bottle of No. 4, but it was not bad value for money.
If sashimi is your side dish, there is no harm in buying it.
It has a ginjo aroma like pear or melon, sweetness, and a pleasant citrus acidity. It is delicious enough to drink on its own, but the acidity leaves a pleasant aftertaste, so it may not be a bad idea to pair it with light-flavored seafood.
Although it is a Kochi sake, it is not too dry, so it can be enjoyed by anyone.
It is a well-balanced sake with a firm sweetness and a good acidity, as is typical of nama-shu.
Although it is a Kochi sake, it is not that dry, so it is relatively easy to pair with anything.
Light neutral (neither sweet nor spicy)
As the name suggests, it has a dignified taste.
It has just a little twangy sourness and somehow made me imagine a tsundere girl.
Huh, I'm a fine old man too 🙃.
It has an even stronger flavor than the Otter Jiwari Sanbu, with a strong sweetness. I think it tastes a little different from the one I drank before due to the difference in serial number, but it is difficult to compare due to the fact that it has been a month...
The balance of rice flavor, sweetness, and acidity is superb, and the depth of the flavor is as one would expect.
While the taste is neutral and easy to pair with anything, the deep rice flavor in the aftertaste gives the impression of a delicious sake.
It is aged for two years and has a matured taste like Shaoxing wine. However, it is not heavy and can be drunk rather lightly, so it is good for beginners to matured sake.
Lightly colored and umami-guchi.
Unfortunately, for a junmai ginjo, it tastes a little bit exasperated.... In the best sense, it has a traditional taste.
It is easy to match with any dishes.
The very elegant sweetness is impressive.
The sweetness is enhanced by the moderate acidity. It is also good even if you taste it by itself.
Recommended for women and sake beginners.
The watery mouthfeel is followed by a firm amino acid umami. The acidity, which is firm but not too strong, lingers in the aftertaste, giving the impression that the umami is not cloying, but rather a cohesive flavor.
When I ordered this sake to go with kombu-jime flatfish at a sake shop, this bottle was recommended to me. It is true that the strong umami of the kelp and the flatfish that has been sitting on the kelp for 6 days is not overpowered by the umami of the sake, and the sake's acidity does not leave a lingering aftertaste but rather pushes it down the throat at once, making for the perfect marriage.
The mouthfeel is very refreshing. The acidity and umami are subdued, leaving a slight sweetness that quickly disappears from the tongue.
It has a very elegant and delicate taste, and is definitely a sake that should be enjoyed with Japanese food.
Like "Hayashi" from the previous day, Toyama still has many great sake breweries hidden away. When I visit Hokuriku again, I would definitely like to enjoy local sake at an izakaya again.
It has a pleasantly elegant umami and acidity, and is very good as a food sake.
On the other hand, if you drink it by itself, you may feel a little bit of a tangy taste, which gives a subtle impression...
The taste is strong and umami is suddenly felt in the mouth, but the taste quickly recedes, giving the impression of being very light and refreshing. It is a strange sake that is rich yet light.
I may be inexperienced, but I have never had a sake with a similar taste, and it is a unique sake with a unique flavor.
It seems to go well with rich seafood such as sea urchins.
