Last time it was a lion. This time it was a bear.
To be honest, I couldn't taste the difference in taste, but the sake rice is different.
It has a darker flavor that goes well with meat.
I thought it would go well with mayonnaise or sauce,
I paired it with takoyaki (octopus dumplings) and it was very good.
It has a good balance of umami and acidity.
At first sip, I thought it had a strong flavor, but it was not dull and I never got tired of drinking it.
It can be served with food or as a stand-alone drink.
I wonder what kind of snacks would go well with it.
I drank it all before I could find something.
This is delicious. I will buy it again.
Refreshing and mild on the palate.
It has a gentle sweetness from the rice and an acidity that seems to accompany it.
As you hold it in your mouth, the umami slowly spreads in a complex way, and at the end, you feel a slight astringency.
It was a sake that broadened my concept of sake.
It is delicious!
Refreshing ginjo aroma.
It has a slight sweetness and umami from the rice, but it is very sharp.
When paired with strong umami, it is a wonderful complement.
A good food sake.
Rich and voluptuous flavor, sweetness and acidity.
It is very drinkable.
The impression is that it is a beautiful sake, perhaps because it has no astringency.
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.
Refreshing sweetness.
Refreshing acidity.
You can enjoy it with a low alcohol content.
The aftertaste is sharp and clean.
You will drink too much.
Perfect for summer.
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.
Hello, Itoka 😃
Sado Masayo! It's so good 🤗
We haven't had tama-hibiki yet 🥲 but I'm sure it's delicious 😙The only problem is that it runs out so quickly 😆.
Hi Jay & Nobby.
This was my first time at Gagakuyo and I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was. It was gone really fast. lol I'd like to try a different one.
Thanks for your comment.
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.
