Weak sweetness, fine acidity and mild bitterness. At first it feels dry, but soon you can taste the umami of the rice, and the balance is very elegant and gorgeous without being overpowering. It leaves a good aftertaste. I personally prefer Tobiroki's special junmai, which has a bit more umami, but the junmai daiginjo is also delicious! My personal impression of Tobiroki is "a perfect balance of gorgeousness and umami. I can easily recommend Tobiroki for those who want a beautiful sake.

Hokkaido Kamikawa Taisetsu Special Junmai Kamikawa Taisetsu Brewery Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 16%. Nearly colorless crystal with a sense of transparency The first impression of the aroma is moderately gorgeous Rum raisin, melon, lychee, and Kamishinko First impression of the taste is slightly strong Clear and fruity, but with a firm rice sweetness, a fine acidity, and a bitterness that is present but not unpleasant. Overall, it is fruity and easy to drink, but not too light. It leaves a good lingering aftertaste that is not tedious. This may be the first sake from Comet. It is said to be a rice that tends to produce a light sake, so it is called "Comet of sharpness", but it is not only light but also has a delicious flavor. I have the impression that it is easy to recommend to everyone. It is a good sake on its own, but if you want to pair it with food, it would probably be an appetizer. It has a moderate ginjo aroma, so I think it would go well with cheese.

Japanese>English

Hello, Murasan. I nodded my head in agreement with your comment that the sake is not only light but also has umami flavor 😊I would like to try many kinds of sake!

Japanese>English

Good evening, Hirupeko! I think it is a very delicious sake! I would like to try Junmai Ginjo next!

Nara Prefecture Okura Yamahai Junmai, left at room temperature Dosu blend Nama-zake Polishing ratio 70%. Alcohol content 17 Transparent dark orange The first impression of the aroma is that of maturity. Fragrant wood, old chests, chocolate, smoked aroma The first impression on the palate is strong. Full-bodied sweetness, acidity with presence, lingering bitterness. Complex flavor balance with a slightly long finish. Quite a peculiar sake! I think I like it better when it is warmed up, as it becomes a little rounder. I wonder what kind of food it would be good with... It has a spicy flavor, so it would be good with curry or Chinese food. I think there might be a dish that would hit the spot. It would be interesting to find out.

アラジン

Good morning, Mura909 😃. It is indeed a very strong sake. I'm sure it would simply age if the quality of the sake wasn't strong, and it's like a manifestation of the brewery's confidence 😄. I'd like to try it 🍶!

Freshly harvested rice, yogurt, white peach First impression on the palate is mild Elegant rice sweetness, gentle and smooth acidity, moderate bitterness, fine and silky texture. You can taste the freshness of freshly squeezed rice and the mild rice flavor. Sake with umami, but not too strong, so it can be paired with pretty much any dish. Right now I'm in the mood for some bonito with a nice salt. Yuzuan-yaki (grilled bonito with yuzu citrus) would be good too! Sake by itself is also good! I like it when it's a little cooler than usual, when it's just about to come back to room temperature. It's so easy to drink!

First impression of the aroma is elegant and gorgeous rice Fresh grapes, peach, lychee, white dumplings The first impression on the palate is light and juicy fruit with umami. Fresh fruity sweetness, acidity that is not too strong but just where you want it, and a mild bitterness that holds it in place at the end, as if to remind you not to forget it. Overall, the wine has a good balance of juicy fruitiness with a lively, juicy flavor, and a nice lingering finish. Ah, this is the type of sake I like when I drink it by itself now! Fruity with a touch of rice, but not too sweet and refreshing! I also like the smooth silky feeling that is common to another "K" I had before! I think it's best served chilled with fresh cheese, but if you want to pair it with food, I'm not sure what. I think it would go well with grape salad, or maybe even tempura!

Sanke Nishiki is a relatively new sake rice original to Nagano Prefecture. It seems that there was a lot of hard work involved in its development. It's fun to drink while reading about the background! It's similar to the feeling I get when I buy a record and listen to the music while reading the liner notes.

I like it, I like it! You can feel the freshness of "Shiboritate" and taste the umami of the rice. The alcohol content is 19 degrees and it has a punch, which I personally love! I think it tastes great warmed up, but personally, I prefer to drink it crisp and cold. I think it can be served with pretty much anything, but right now I'm in the mood for seared squid. I like to eat it with mayo and soy sauce, but with this sake, I like to eat it plain. From the toji The toji-san said, "I put my heart into the first pressing of this sake so that you can smile after drinking it. I was so happy to hear this message. I was so happy!

I can easily recommend this sake to those who are looking for a gorgeous and beautiful sake. I think the sweetness is too much when the temperature goes up, so I would like to drink it well chilled. If possible, I would like to use a sake cup like a wine glass to feel the aroma. I think it would go well with grilled meat with high quality fat. I think it would be better with a sauce rather than wasabi. I have a feeling that tempura would be good too. Deep fried prawns in clean oil with salt. I want to drink while eating delicious shrimp.

Aroma of mellow rice Brown sugar, black tea, slightly spicy Slightly strong first impression on the palate Full-bodied sweetness, gentle acidity, and full-bodied bitterness. Mellow and mellow balance, but not too strong. At first, it seems to be a classic type of wine, but it is beautiful. The image is somewhere between classic and modern. A limited-quantity sake brewed at the Kagoshi Sake Brewery with rice transferred from the Matsunami Brewery, which was destroyed in the Noto Peninsula earthquake. It's easy to put it in writing, but I think there were a lot of hardships involved. I am deeply moved by the spirit of mutual help from the sake breweries in Ishikawa Prefecture. This bottle comes with a message from Seiko Kinshichi, the toji of Matsunami Brewery, and Kazumasa Okuda, the toji of Kakoshi. A limited bottle of a limited edition sake, we will treasure it.

Japanese>English

Good evening, Mr. Murasan. It has been one year since the Noto Peninsula earthquake, but there have been aftershocks and it is frustrating to see the time pass by with no progress in reconstruction. It is important not to let the disaster fade away by drinking Noto sake.

Japanese>English

Good morning, Hirupeko-san. I heard that the Matsunami Brewery has just finally cleared its land. It still has a long way to go to get back to normal. I hope I can support them at least by drinking Noto sake.
