益荒男別格 山廃純米 友禅の調べ

いとか
I told them I wanted a sake with a lot of umami and acidity, and bought it on the recommendation of a liquor store I was familiar with. Indeed, it has a strong umami of rice and enough acidity from the Yamahai process. The final sharpness was satisfying. I enjoyed the changes from cold sake to room temperature by warming it by hand. Too bad it ran out before I could warm it up. I might buy it again in the winter.

It was love at first sight with the Chosan label. Despite its sweet aroma, it has a light and refreshing mouthfeel. The harmony of acidity, sweetness, and astringency is wonderful, and it has a long finish. It does not have a strong individuality, but the balance of flavors is unique. I liked it. I will buy it again.

Nice to meet you, Itoka! I'm a sake drinker living near your brewery 🙇‍♂️ Chosan has been a character for a long time, not sure why you are pushing it now, but the Chosan series is indeed catchy and all 👍! Keep up the good work 😊.

Hi Jurian. I looked up the character and found that he is from the Showa era. I see that there are other Chosan series. If I find one, I would like to buy it. Thanks for your comment.

Although it is labeled as dry, it is not crisp and dry. It has a good balance of umami and acidity. It is refreshing, but not light. It finishes with a beautiful acidity, but it disappears from the mouth very naturally. It is not dry, but it is not dry at all. It is interesting that after drinking it, one has the impression that it was dry. It was delicious!

Sweet aroma. The unexpectedly smooth mouthfeel is followed slowly by sweetness and a gentle acidity. The taste is crystal clear and leaves the same impression as it is. It is also good on the rocks.

Umami and acidity first. Some sweetness follows. The umami takes the lead, but it finishes crisp and clean. Overall, the sake is mild and perfectly matches the impression on the label. Cheap for such a good taste. I look forward to drinking it again next year.

Slightly effervescent. The sweet aroma is followed by the soft sweetness of rice. But then, the alcohol hits you hard. It's sharp and very drinkable. I should have bought a bigger bottle. Delicious!

Transparent acidity. Clear sweetness. The umami of rice also comes later. The alcohol taste that goes through the nose is pleasant because it is a pure sake. It has a good sharpness. When served on the rocks, the lingering sweetness can be easily felt, which is also delicious. Purchased directly from the sake brewery. A sake brewery in summer surrounded by rice paddies. It fits the scenery perfectly. Very satisfying.

The highest grade of elegant sweetness with no cloying taste. Calm acidity and moist, deep sweetness. The wine was very good, with a nice balance and a nice sweetness. I drank a little at a time over the course of a week and enjoyed it without losing its balance by the end. It is a little over my budget, but I am glad I bought it. Thank you for the treat.

Fruity aroma. Light on the palate, with a bit of bubbles. It has a touch of sweetness, but there is also a bit of bitterness in the aftertaste, and it finishes crisp and clean. It is not boring to drink, and it goes down quickly. I like Sado sake.

It has a strong ginjo aroma. It has a sweet mouthfeel with a hint of rice flavor, but it has a strong cut after that. The alcohol taste that passes through the nose is also strong, giving the impression of a very dry taste. It goes well with oily snacks. As the name suggests, it is super dry.

The mouthfeel has a freshness typical of nama-shu, but gradually changes to a more subdued umami flavor. The second half is astringent and alcoholic, and is very drinkable. As expected of Shinkame. It is delicious.

Mansakunohana吟醸一度火入れ原酒

Mansaku no Hana (flower of mansaku) is drunk by cracking it open. If you drink it as it is, it is thick, sweet and sour. It feels like a sharp taste in your throat. When it is mixed with ice, the sweetness is balanced with the sourness, and the taste is delicious. It is fun to drink while searching for your own taste.

Mellow mouthfeel. Gentle sweetness of molasses. I thought it would cling to me more, but it is surprisingly refreshing. It has a nice finish and is very easy to drink. It goes well with spicy food. Highly recommended.

Colorless, pear aroma. Sweetness from the gentle mouthfeel. The taste is a bit sweet, but then it is followed by a big splash of umami, acidity, and astringency, Then, the taste of umami, sourness, and astringency follows. The aftertaste is closed with astringency. Mature. I bought it because I was attracted by the label, but I quite liked the taste.

A gift. It has a little ginjo aroma. It is very easy to drink without any unpleasant taste, but it is not too thin. The sweetness is kept to a minimum, and the sharp rice flavor stands out. Although it is a ginjo-shu, it has a refined and sharp impression rather than a glamorous one. It is very good.
