Kamokinshu純米大吟醸 うすにごり生 広島限定

けいけい
It has a fresh banana-type aroma, which is gorgeous in Camoquin. The sweetness and acidity wrap around the full flavor and bring it all together in a cute way. After opening the bottle, the passage of days and the decrease in volume and increase in the percentage of lees made it more rounded and to my liking. The sake world during the year-end and New Year's holidays is festive with many zodiac sign labels and lees-related products, but the satisfaction level, including the price, is high. The green and red string was a hit with the kids. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The standing aroma is pear and muscat-like, but not that strong. The bubbles are a little strong for a Kamogane. When you drink it, it has a fresh lightness typical of low-alcoholic sake, with a slight grain-like classical nuance, and is easy to drink. Perhaps it is because it is not watered down, or perhaps it is just because I like my hometown, but the lightness‡ of low-alcoholic sake is well suppressed and can be enjoyed on its own or with a meal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It is available all year round and is not too expensive. It is a sake from Hiroshima that is not too trendy and is competitive even in Japan.

Josensen When you smell it from the mouth of the bottle, it has a really nice aroma like thick cream, but when you pour it into a booze cup, the alcohol comes to the forefront, and when you drink it, the rice flavor is strong, but clay? Yakuzen? It's hard to describe the taste. It has a strong character, but it was a bit out of my strike zone. I thought it was best served cold or lukewarm. ⭐️ Purchased at Aeon.

It has a fresh apple aroma. When you drink it, the umami is less and the strength of alcohol, spiciness, etc. come to the fore, making you want to say, oh wow. When I was choosing the sake, the character on the lid looked like the word "kuro" instead of "phantom", which reminded me of the phantom kurobako😅. ⭐️⭐️ Purchased at 7-Eleven.

The nose has a rich melon and white peach aroma. When you drink it, it has a slightly thick mouthfeel, followed by a smooth, wagashi-like sweetness and a prodigal flavor. The lingering finish is clean with fresh acidity and light bitterness. It was sweeter than expected and I thought I would choose a little pairing compatibility. I was waiting for my youngest son to be weaned off of it, so I kept it in the cellar and enjoyed it, even though it was past the 3 month limit on the label. Purchased in a distribution plan. I thought no thanks if the price is set by too strong restaurants or resale price.

The nose has ripe apple-like honey and lactic acid nuances. The taste is firm, with little cloying taste, and the acidity is smooth. In general, it is a mellow sake with a mellow umakuchi impression. Personally, I found the balance to be delicious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at a department store. Sold at the renewed Depa basement, along with Kozo Mori and Naeba-yama. I have a very selfish impression, but I felt that only the brewed forest was displayed in a prominent place in the refrigerated section, and I felt a sense of tie-up with the brewed forest sales. I hope they will introduce Yukinomayu in the future.

At a restaurant on a business trip. After enjoying a variety of sakes, this was the last sake I drank at the end of my trip. The sweetness and full flavor of the rice spread out as it was served hot, and the acidity and bitterness from the Yamahai method balanced it out, warming the body and soul and making you feel happy.

At a restaurant on a business trip. It had a beautiful melon and muscat aroma and was refreshing, making me want to drink it all the time. The acidity was not assertive, and the balance of sweetness and spiciness was good.

Personally, if I had to choose three bottles from last year, I would include this one, and it is still delicious this year 🤤. Also, the boar cup is cute. Last year I had the good timing to buy various kinds of Kinjaku, and this year I went to the brewery but could hardly buy any. The other day at the store, I saw an offer of Yumejaku for 5,000 yen, but I passed on it after worrying about it. I want to drink it next year.

The bubbly, bubbly aroma is like rummy, but subdued. When you drink it, you can taste the sweetness of rice, and while there is so much lees, the mouthfeel is silky, and the acidity and bitterness finish dry and crisp. The snowman on the label and the amount of lees are exquisite, making this a visually pleasing bottle. I thought it would be more of a sweet and sour sake, but to me it was dry and not tiring to drink. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at the liquor store Yamada. While I was at the store, 3-4 bottles were sold and I bought it because I had to drink it at least once with my meekness. While I am in the mood for a variety of sake during the new sake season, if you ask me if I would like to repeat the experience again, my impression is that it's not that good.

Fresh muscat-like aroma. When you drink it, the lactic acidic sourness and sweetness spreads, and it is Calpis-like. After the second day, it was delicious to drink the reduced alcohol by half, mixing it with lees 🥰. Fizzy + 9% alcohol, easy to drink and solidly sweet. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bought it at Yamatoya Sake Brewery.

It has a sweet and sour juiciness that is typical of Kangiku, but the sweetness seems to be restrained among Kangiku wines. The sweetness and acidity of the wine is not as sweet as other Kangiku wines, but it has a pleasant sourness that comes through when you taste it, and the balance of sweetness and minerality is good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at Yamatoya Shuho.

From the standing aroma of white peaches and bananas, the wine has a slightly rich sweetness that is clear and soft as expected. The gasiness that lingers on the tongue, combined with a pleasant bitterness, tightens the taste and makes the aftertaste not clingy. It is less sharp in a good way than other sake rice varieties, and is delicious with the essence of Toyo Bijin. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at Yamatoya Shuho. Toyo Bijin has no hassles.

The nose has a sourness that comes to the forefront as if it were 2 parts orange and 8 parts acetic acid. After drinking, the yogurt-like acidity lingers in the aftertaste. When I drank it before, I had the impression that it had little umami and other flavors despite its low rice polishing, but this time, I got a different impression, as I felt it was quite a local sake. It was delicious with a salad with a strong dressing, and I think that white wine might be closer to its rival than sake, but then I thought it would be hard to make a repeat purchase because of the cost. I thought I would not repeat it myself, but it is nice to receive it as a gift.

The standing aroma is somewhat subdued. The mouthfeel is like a concentration of fresh berry sweetness and acidity, followed by the umami of rice and a light bitterness on the finish. It is described as having a lovely sweetness, but perhaps because it has an alcohol content of 16%, it also has a reasonable strength. Low-alcohol lovers and beginners may want to be a little cautious. It was recommended by the liquor stores I frequent that it tastes great everywhere. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Buy it at Yamatoya Sake Brewery.

The impression is just as the name suggests. It has a freshness and roughness typical of unfiltered, raw sake, and the gasiness of direct pumping is pleasant on the tongue. The sweetness of Oumachi spreads in the mouth. Although the taste is very strong, it is relatively compatible with any meal, and drinking it cold as a mid-meal sake made the cups go further. ⭐️⭐️⭐️+⭐️ It is not a trendy flavor, so there is an impression that it is a bit selective about who drinks it. Purchased at Yamada Sake Brewery.

Mimurosugi純米大吟醸 山田錦

Is the standing aroma apple? Pear? Slightly mild. From the fresh mouthfeel, it is a beautiful sake with the umami of rice, and the acidity makes it sharp and clean. I prefer it after a few days rather than right after opening the bottle. It gives the impression of being between the Jungin Yamadanishiki and the Jun Dai Sake Mirai that we drank last year. Stable and reliable Mimurosugi🥰. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at Sake Sho Yamada.

There is not much of an upfront aroma. When you sip it, you will feel a slightly hard mouthfeel, which is rare for Hiroshima sake, with the umami of rice and a hint of elegant sweetness like caster sugar, and the crisp aftertaste will impress you with its dry taste. It is very clear for a junmai sake. It does not push the trendy sweetness, acidity, or gassiness to the forefront, nor does it have the cloying taste or strong alcohol taste that is often present in junmai sake. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I bought this at a local liquor store that I patronize. I often see Chogun, which is also a Shobara sake, but this was my first encounter with it.

けいけい
This sake matches the concept of a sweet sparkling sake that is easy for everyone to drink. The standing aroma has a slight pineapple nuance. The acidity is not too pronounced, and the taste is refreshing, with a gaseous note that eliminates the amazake habit rather than a trendy flavor. I personally find sweet sparkling sake to be a bit difficult to approach, as it rivals sparkling wine and my favorite, Chifuku Sparkling. As a sake, it lacks the punch of Mutsu Hachisen's Nouveau or other new sake at the time of year that makes me want to drink it again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Purchased at the sake shop Yamada.
