Harvest moon. Nabeshima is a sake that leaves no aftertaste or clutter, leaving only the umami behind. It hit me right in the middle of my taste buds and is one of the best quality sake I have ever had in my life. Umashii!
This is one of the three types recommended by the owner of Buri Shabu Kiki in Hakata Tenjin, Fukuoka. This one is dry, but leaves a reasonable aftertaste. It goes well with a light and refreshing side dish.
One of the three types of drinks recommended by the owner, ordered at Buri Shabu Kiki, Hakata Tenjin, Fukuoka. Fruity. The sweetness of the rice lingers in the aftertaste. It has a strong presence even without any entrée.
While visiting Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, I happened to be at a Fukuoka Prefecture sake event and tasted and purchased a bottle. It was quite refreshingly dry and quickly disappeared without leaving any aftertaste. It is easy to imagine that it does not interfere with the entrée, but it also has enough potential to be drunk on its own. A must for dry wine lovers.
The mouthfeel is sweet from the rice, but with a firm acidity. However, the moment the sake is swallowed, the acidity is quickly dissipated, and nothing remains afterward. It is a sake with a clean aftertaste and little miscellaneous flavors.
What comes at the moment of drinking is fruity and sweetness of rice. There is a slight sourness after drinking, but it is not at the level of being peculiar. It is well-balanced, and it is understandable that it is popular with everyone. Delicious!
Live yeast! The sizzling, slightly carbonated taste makes for a refreshing drink. The alcohol content is 15 degrees, not so different from that of regular sake, making it easy to drink. The taste is sweet, with the sweetness of rice coming through with gusto. It is recommended for those who like sweet sake, but Banshu Issen Shichiho Junmai Starch Tangle is only available at sake breweries in Shiso City, Hyogo Prefecture.
If you ever get a chance to visit Shiso City in Hyogo Prefecture, please do!
It has a high alcohol content of 19 degrees, which is high for sake. I met it at the Nishinomiya Sake Gura Renaissance after a three-year absence, fell in love with it at first sight, and bought it immediately. It still has the mildness and sweetness of rice characteristic of nigori. Among nigori, there are rough and fine nigori, but this one is quite fine. I mistook it for drinking yogurt and drank it so fast that I had no memory of last night.
It tastes good with a mellow feeling. However, as a person who likes sharp and dry wine, I think it is not enough for me. It is a bit dry, but not enough for my taste.
Autumn Fukuju for a limited time only. Obtained at a sake brewery (also sold at supermarkets in some places).
It is strong, dry, and delicious. I asked the owner of the brewery, "Do you have any that goes well with sashimi? and she gave me this one, which is why it goes well with sashimi.
A yeast that produces malic acid? This low-alcohol (13%) sake is made with a yeast that produces malic acid. The mellow aroma, reminiscent of apple juice, fills the mouth and makes you forget that it is sake. However, as you ruminate on it in your mouth, the sweetness of the rice appears. This is the first type of sake I've ever had, and it's delicious! I was deeply impressed by the fact that I can encounter good sake when the sake brewery is close by.
Unlike the usual brown bottles sold in the market, this one is a cool blue bottle. Maybe it is a summer bottle. The bottle is labeled Junmai Ginjo "sai" (灑), so it may be a little special. The taste is refreshing and easy to drink, with a sweet rice aftertaste. I chose chilled tofu as my entrée, which was a hit, and it went very well with this Koshino-Kanme. It is a perfect match for a light side dish.
His wife bought this sake, which she was impressed by the package.
The mellow taste on the palate is impressive. It has a strong sweetness from the rice, which is different from the clean, dry sake that I like, but it is delicious.
I originally ordered it with the intention of combining it with Tofuyo, a delicacy. However, they were sold out. I had no choice but to order it with hijiki as a side dish. I have a theory that restaurants that serve hijiki as a side dish usually have a high level of quality. The taste is dry, but it leaves a little aftertaste rather than being light and refreshing. It is delicious.
