A limited edition sake from the brewery. It has an unbelievably richness and a guttural sweetness that is irresistible.
It has a strength that does not lose to strong-flavored food.
The label is also very stylish. Not only the sake itself, but also the effort that has been put into the sake itself is wonderful.
Nama sake. Really slightly cloudy. The aroma is sweet, and the taste is delicious.
The 17% alcohol content does not bother me too much, and the sweetness that gradually spreads on the palate is irresistible. This is delicious...!
I went to the brewery and asked if there was any sake that could only be purchased here and not sold wholesale at supermarkets. This is what they came up with. The Nakakumi itself is made every year, but the taste changes every year, so it is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. I like that kind of thing.
It has a soft flavor, so to speak, with a fruity sweetness that hits the palate.
It is a high strength sake, as it is a pure sake. It seems to get drunk easily, but I think it's okay if it does.
The aroma is faintly candy? A sugary sweetness passes through the nose. The mouthfeel is the same at first, but then changes to a dry taste. It is not as sharp as a daiginjo, so it has a sharp edge, but that is good.
The aroma is not very distinctive. The mouthfeel is crisp and dry, with no aftertaste. It gives the impression that it would be a good match for light food. The unpretentiousness is delicious!
The fruity mouthfeel is clean, with a clean aroma and a gulp of rice sweetness. However, it has a refreshing taste that does not linger, which is quite to my liking.
The fruity taste is clean, with a clean aroma and a hint of sweetness from the rice. However, it has a refreshing taste that does not linger, which is quite to my liking.
The aroma is slightly reminiscent of wine. The mouthfeel is like a heavy sweet wine. It gives the impression of being as good as a full-bodied dish. Sweet, fruity, and delicious!
The taste is clean and slightly sweet. After drinking, it is refreshing without any particular aftertaste. It is very tasty when paired with pumpkin stew.
It smells sweet. The mouthfeel is very mild and quite sweet as the aroma suggests. It has a strong full-bodied flavor. It has a strong richness, so it is not overpowered by strong flavored snacks. Basically, I am a dry sake drinker, but fruity sake is also delicious in its own way. In short, I love everything.
Thick and dry. It has its own assertiveness, so I think it can be enjoyed without being overpowered by strong flavored food. I matched it with sardine tsumire nabe, which is a nabe served with a thick soy sauce-based sauce.
The word of mouth was that it was just like wine, but it was very Japanese sake. The recommended food pairing was French cuisine, but it also went well with nabe (hot pot). However, the carbonation definitely gives a refreshing sensation, and it is hard to believe that this is due to the secondary fermentation of the sake itself.
The sweetness of the rice is so strong that the alcohol content is not apparent. Last year's first pressing had a sour taste, but this year, the sweetness is all over the place. By the way, you really have to drink the freshly pressed sake as soon as possible! It seems as if another year has begun. Sake pressed on February 4 is drunk on February 6. This is luxury. Sake from my hometown tastes better than anything else.
JR Sumiyoshi Station, Wolf and Smoke:.
A very thick and guttural sweetness. I know the alcohol content is high, but the thickening and sweetness make it quite easy to drink. Very good.
It has a smooth, sweet mouthfeel. It doesn't leave any habit after drinking, so you can take a second sip without any hesitation at all. It is the best.
Slightly dry. The thickening sensation that can only be achieved with original sake, and the gusty sensation caused by the high alcohol content, are unbearable. I was lured by the words "limited edition sake brewery," and I am very satisfied with this bottle.
This is the autumn limited hiyaoroshi version of Shibotan, which tastes great when drunk hot, and was kindly offered to us off the menu by the proprietress who still remembered us at the izakaya we hadn't been to in eight years. This kind of thing is nice, isn't it? Life is all about humanity. It tasted dry. But if you include the memories of those days when I was not yet married to his wife and we used to go there as lovers, you could even say that it is sweet and sour.
If you see it, please try it. You will be surprised to know that the taste we tasted was like this.
