Here is the New Year's sake I took with me.
I finally found Nabeshima.
I was able to open the bottle without gas spraying.
When I put it in my mouth, I thought the sweetness was coming in,
The sweetness quickly disappears and the second half is dry.
The second half is dry and goes away quickly and crisply.
It is delicious. It has a gassy feel and goes down smoothly.
It goes well with sashimi.
Everyone gave it high marks.
Urasato, a brand I was curious about.
It is brewed entirely from pure Ibaraki sake. High expectations.
When the bottle was opened, there was almost no aroma,
When you drink it, it has a fruity taste like melon or banana,
The sweetness is almost melon-like, and the taste finishes with bitterness.
It is delicious. It is a well-balanced Junmai that can be easily paired with meals.
I would like to repeat this brand and try other specs.
Thanks for your help, Jay & Nobby!
The light nigori looks pretty good: ‼️
I have great expectations after drinking this Junmai!
I'm really looking forward to your comments 😊.
This is the one I was most attracted to in the store's refrigerator.
I bought it because I remember drinking Haginotsuru and enjoying it!
,,,,,ama!!!! LOL!
It's refreshing but a little bit sweet. LOL!
I'm going to try a different kind again: 👍🏻
Harukaze was purchased because I wanted a sake for a meal.
It has a strong acidity, but the 80% polished rice gives it a direct rice flavor.
The aftertaste is crisp.
I enjoyed it chilled and at room temperature, but it might be better at a higher temperature.
On the second and third days, it tasted a little sweet.
I did not pair it with seasonal ingredients,
I paired it with grilled fish and stir-fry,
It was delicious with the meal.
I wanted to drink Sentori, so I got Classic Sentori.
The aroma is not much, but when you put it in your mouth,
The sourness and sweetness characteristic of Sengkyo match each other perfectly.
It is slightly effervescent and has a pleasant, refreshing aftertaste.
It is still delicious.
I want to pick up this brand regularly.
First time here raw.
I bought it because it is the same as my father's name. LOL.
The taste and smell is like "Sake! but it tastes great with a clean aftertaste. Easy to drink! A little freshness? I think so.
I will buy it again!
The forest of wind in my hand the moment I found it.
I entered the alpha series entrance.
It is low alcohol, light, and when I think of Kaze no Mori, I think of gas.
It has a good balance of sweetness and acidity, and the gas makes it easy to drink.
It is not too sweet and has a nice sharpness in the second half.
On the second day, the sweetness increases,
After the third day, it gradually loses its gasiness.
The best time to drink it is from the first day to the second day.
First meeting with Wakanami.
The cosmetics are not bad, and the aroma after opening the bottle is very promising.
When you sip it, the umami and acidity spreads,
The aftertaste is crisp and delicious.
The assertiveness is moderate and it is easy to match with meals, making it one of our favorites.
After the second day, the sweetness increases and it transforms into a sweet-amami type.
I have not tried it, but it seems to be good even when heated.
It is a repeat brand that I would like to try different ones.
Fukuoka Prefecture also has a high level of quality.
It's soooo easy to drink !!!!
It has a sake-like taste and is mellow.
It has a little sweetness, but it also has a sake taste and is easy to drink. I decided on it based on the store's comment! (but I forgot, it was easy to drink, it was written like I would never get tired of it)
My first Fukuda, very satisfied! It is certified as my favorite sake!
I found and bought a bottle of Oroku, which I had drunk at some store and enjoyed. (As usual, I don't remember what kind of Oroku I bought.)
There were about 5 kinds in the store, and I chose one of them because it was a junmai with a middle price.
It is spicy with a slight sweetness and a clean aftertaste. I like it a lot.
(I don't know exactly what it tastes like because I'm in a cold war with my husband, who is my confidant.)
I will try to buy other kinds and record them again: 👍🏻
Sipped in a glass at a standing bar in a liquor store.
The color is a fine white ooze, the texture is smooth, and the aroma is reminiscent of calpis and yogurt.
In the mouth, it has a fruity flavor like pineapple and coconut, and combined with moderate sweetness and acidity, it tastes fresh and juicy.
The palate is smooth, refreshing, and easy to drink, with a good sharpness.
The overall impression is of a modern summer sake.
Sake rice: Yamadanishiki, Yumenokou
Rice polishing: 50%, 55
Strength: 16%.
Pouring: Once
I bought it with high hopes for the description on the back label,
This is my first Oita sake.
When the bottle is opened, it has a very sweet and gorgeous aroma.
The sweetness spreads in the mouth and disappears with a slight bitterness.
The taste is certainly not like a junmai sake with 70% polished rice.
It is sweet and easy to drink,
It can be served on its own without any particular accompaniment.
Personally, the taste reminds me of the snowdrifts in Oze,
It was delicious.
I found Kaze no Mori.
The bottle was opened with a bang.
A white haze of carbon dioxide gas rises, raising expectations.
When I drank it, the gas was as refreshing as rumored,
The balance of acidity is exquisite, and there is not much sweetness,
It is dry and refreshing,
It is truly delicious and one of my personal favorites.
It does not interfere with food and can be drunk on its own.
It is a good quality sake at a good price,
It is a good sake.
Purchased in a 4-goupe bottle.
When opened, the bottle was filled with a faint scent of ginjo.
When poured into the cup, it has a light texture, almost transparent in color, and a modest scent.
In the mouth, a young melon-like flavor can be detected, and although the sake has been fire-quenched, there is a slight sense of freshness and gasiness, giving it an initial impression of freshness.
The aroma is followed by a mild sweetness, acidity, and a slight astringency, and then it recedes crisply.
Overall, it gives the impression of a well-balanced Junmai Ginjo, a calm and modern sake.
Rice: 100% Yamadanishiki, 60 polished
Frequency: 15%.
Production: February 2023
I purchased a four-pack bottle of Kaze no Mori standard.
Upon opening the bottle, white gasses overflow from the bottle mouth and a faint ginjo aroma wafts through the air.
Pouring it into a booze cup, it has a light texture and is almost transparent despite being unfiltered. The top-tasting aroma is "slight," which probably depends on the temperature.
On the palate, white grape and young melon-like flavors can be detected. There is definitely a ginjo aroma, perhaps derived from the long low-temperature fermentation, even though it is 65 polished, but it is not overdone and is very elegant.
Following the aroma, the palate is stimulated by a firm gassy sensation that is typical of ultra-hard water (thank goodness it was made so early in the production process). It also has a cider-like minerality.
The umami, mild sweetness, and the assertion of the five tastes continue in good balance, and finally, it finishes with a sharp finish, leaving a slight sense of namaishu (raw sake).
Overall, the impression is of a beautiful, easy-drinking sake made with the No. 7 yeast. The 7 yeast. It is modern, but its calmness gives it a classic feel.
From tomorrow onward, I would like to enjoy the changes in flavor as the gas level decreases and compare it to Akitsuho 507.
Rice: 100% Akitsuho, 65 polished
Water: ultra-hard water, hardness 250mg/l
Yeast: No. 7
Fermentation: 32 days, long low-temperature fermentation
Strength: 16
Production: February 2023
2022BY winter brewing tank
Purchased in quart bottles; manufactured December 2022.
The color is clear, and there is a subtle sake-like scent.
In the mouth, the fruity ginjo aroma spreads quickly, followed by just the right amount of sweetness.
The finish is crisp and clean.
There was also a flavor that was similar to that of nama-zake, but I wondered if this was due to the fact that the sake had been once-hiki-ire.
It is very easy to drink and very tasty.
Next time, I would like to try the Junmai Daiginjo.
Thank you for your comment, NABE.
The junmai ginjo was so good this time around, I'm dying to try both the junmai daiginjos--nama and hi-ire!
Nothing like good sake from your hometown!
