ましらのやまさんSpecial Junmai Sakusake Sekesaku
Saku Sake Sake Saku, Saku Sake Saku, Saku Sake Saku was stated on the label 🥳.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [Wawa Wawa] brewery.
Using Saku yeast (yeast isolated from cosmos in Saku City)
Hitokochi 100%, Polishing ratio 59%, ALC 15%.
Tonight's sashimi platter is a 4-piece set of Ukka Rasago, Bonito, Shirasu, and Seared Spanish Mackerel with Salt and Lemon.
Actually, this is the second type of sake I ordered today, the first was called "Orikagarami Hiran" on the store's bulletin board, but I couldn't find any orikagarami at all😅I checked and it seems that if it is unfiltered raw sake, it is orikagarami, which is a type I had already encountered but with different alcohol content, so I just had to update the information 😃.
The aroma is subdued, the acidity and bitterness are well balanced, and the sake is clean, crisp, and slightly dry 😋.
Yeast isolated from cosmos... but I can't really tell the difference since I don't even remember the aroma of cosmos😅
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240718 ましらのやまさんKutouryuu Cold Sake ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
100% Gohyakumangoku from Fukui Prefecture
Polishing ratio 65%, ALC 18%.
It is recommended to drink on the rocks.
Straight
Sake that is smooth, dry, and umami 😊It is a sake that you don't feel 18 degrees too much 😘.
On the rocks
We had it on the rocks with ice as recommended 😋.
Sake that is crisp and slightly dry.
I thought it was a refreshing sake without any peculiarities and could be tasted just like a highball 😃.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240709 ましらのやまさんGagakuyo - Narukami
Rice polishing ratio: not stated
ALC 14.5 degrees (undiluted)
Today's 8th sake is Garakudai, which is a new brand for me. I didn't even know it was called "Utashiro" 😅.
The aroma is not fruity, but it gives a hint of the deliciousness of rice 🤗.
On the palate, it is a delicious sake with a good balance of rice flavor, acidity and bitterness 😋.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240709 ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, Mashira no Yama 😃.
Congratulations on your first Masayo-san ㊗️ 🎉!
Masayo-san has many different types of drinks! Please try some of them 👋 ましらのやまさんHi Jay & Nobby 😃Gasaiyo is called [Masayo-san] by frequent drinkers 😅I learned one more thing 🤔🥰Wonder where I can meet Masayo-san this time 😋First brand I met... more and more fun 🤗. ましらのやまさんFukura Junmai Daiginjo-shu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 50% ave 15 degrees
Today, we have 3 remaining first encounters 😅.
I wondered whether to have it with the sake set or with my usual glass, but since it was before 19:00, I decided to have it with a glass 😋🥳.
The 7th type.
The aroma was not fruity, but had the umami of rice that you get with Junmai and Tokubetsu Junmai 😃.
Slightly dry on the palate, with a slight sourness and bitterness 😄.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240709 ましらのやまさんSpecial Junmai Sake Kappa⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rice polishing ratio 60%, ALC 15
Sake degree +10
This is the sixth sake of the day.
The aroma is subtle, foreshadowing the deliciousness of rice, and when you take a sip, it seems to assert that it is a dry sake, followed immediately by bitterness and sourness.
As a personal preference, I gave it 3 stars in comparison to Tomikyucho Shinbashi no Otoko-tachi no Sake, which I had before this sake😅.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240709 ましらのやまさんFukucho Dry Junmai
Sake for men in Shinbashi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio koji rice 60% kake rice 65
(Some of the rice is polished by Shin Gin [flattened rice]) ALC 15 degrees
This is the fifth kind of sake today.
It does not have much aroma, and when you put it in your mouth, it is slightly dry. When you roll it around in your mouth, the umami, acidity, and bitterness spread in good balance, and it is a sake with a taste that you will not get tired of drinking.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240709 ましらのやまさんKuninocho
Frog Label ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Junmai Ginjyo Nama-zake
Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 16%.
This is the fourth type of sake today.
The label might make you imagine a playful taste, but it is a rather heavy (sitting) sake with a rice aroma, slight stimulation on the tongue when you put it in your mouth, a little dryness, sourness and bitterness spreading out.
It goes well with sashimi, tonight's snack 😋.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240709 Germany ましらのやまさんAmami Junmai Daiginjo-shu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
100% Omachi from Akaban, Polishing ratio 50%.
ALC 15 degrees
This is the third type of sake we had today.
It is a delicious sake with a hint of lychee or pineapple aroma and a slight stimulation on the tongue like a raw sake, followed by a pleasant spread of acidity.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240709 ましらのやまさんHaneya ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Summer Junmai Ginjo Nama Shu
Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 14%.
The second kind today.
It has a faintly fruity aroma. In the mouth, it is smooth and slightly sweet, followed by a soft spread of acidity, making it a crisp sake.
It may be perfect as a summer sake with edamame or chilled tofu as a side dish.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240709 ましらのやまさんDragonfly Special Junmai-shu⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 14%.
First visit to a familiar izakaya in about 3 weeks🤗!
I wonder how many new encounters I will have today 🧐🥳😘.
Tonight's snacks are also assorted sashimi😘.
It was bonito, willow octopus, seared Spanish mackerel, white sea bream and mahata.
First of all, the first kind.
It tasted like a sweet white wine. It is just right for an aperitif.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240709 ましらのやまさんJunmai Daiginjo-shu Nama-zume
Nakadori Akaban Omachi Kamimoroshiro⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
80% Akaban Omachi, Okayama
Polishing ratio 45%, ALC 15
The seventh and last sake was "Jyushidai", which I would drink even if I had already had it.
On 20220930, I had encountered [Nakadori Junmai Ginjoshu Namazume Akaban Omachi 80% Polishing ratio 50%, ALC 15 degrees] and for a moment I thought it was the same sake... but this was Junmai Daiginjo 😅.
Fresh aroma, mellow in the mouth, fruity aroma like lychee, slight stimulation on the tongue from the raw sake, followed by a good acidity 😋.
Delicious sake at the end of the meal...I'm so happy 😄!
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240621 ましらのやまさんSODA CRASH⭐️⭐️
Junmai Daiginjo, 100% Miyamanishiki from Yamagata Prefecture, White malted rice, Polishing ratio 50%, ALC 19%.
Tonight's sixth sake is a bit more adventurous 😅.
Please drink it with carbonated water because of its high alcohol content.
It was written as "Enjoy it as a highball of sake".
First, I had it as it was. It has a fresh aroma, a slightly mellow taste, and a very strong lactic acid taste. It tasted like a mmmmmm 😓.
I drank it with soda as recommended, but it tasted like rice shochu...so I thought it was not good enough for my taste 😥.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240621 ましらのやまさんSae Special Junmai Namaishu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
100% Bizen Omachi, 60% polished rice ratio
ALC 16%, Sake degree +15 or so
Tonight's fifth sake was Hyakugakumon🤗.
When it was poured into the glass, it was a little cloudy like an ochigara-mi 😊.
When you put it in your mouth, it suddenly asserted itself as a dry sake, followed by a soft sourness and bitterness 😋.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240621 ましらのやまさんSummer Junmai Junmai Sake⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio 70%, 15%.
The fourth kind of sake tonight is drunken whale.
It's a dry sake with a sharp taste in the mouth, and it was so good with bonito sashimi with grated garlic 🤗😋.
I guess Tosa sake goes well with bonito 😅.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240621 ましらのやまさんJunmai Ginjo, Polishing ratio 60%, ALC 15
Tonight's third type of sake is Gizaemon.
I haven't encountered it in 10 years🤗.
I first encountered it in 2014 at a hotel when I was on a business trip to Mie Prefecture😊.
At that time it was a junmai ginjo (60% rice polishing ratio, 15% ALC), so I decided to count today's sake as our first encounter 😘.
The aroma was not so strong and the sake was refreshingly crisp and slightly dry on the palate 😋.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240621 ましらのやまさんMitsuo Yamakawa Manufacturer: Tatenogawa Mfg.
100% ancient rice Sobei early maturing
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Polishing ratio 50%, ALC 15%.
The brand name is a unit name derived from the first letter of the four breweries that brew Yamagata Masamune, Tatenokawa, Toko, and Otokoyama.
Today's second sake was the second sake made with Sobei Sousei, following Tatenokawa Shuzo's Junmai Daiginjo-shu Shield (2022/10/22).
It has a slightly peculiar taste, perhaps due to the rice used to make it, but it has a good balance of acidity and bitterness, and the umami of the rice is unique...but when served with snacks, it mellows out and is the perfect sake for a mealtime drink🥰.
The only one left is "Yamakawa Mitsuo" brewed by Otokoyama Shuzo...I can't wait to try it 🤔.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240621 ましらのやまさんKuma-Morinokuma-san 59Takachiyo
Junmai Ginjo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
100% Morinokuma-san
59% flat polished rice, 16% ALC
My familiar Chirori-san hasn't visited in about a month, and after counting down my fingers for the new sake I'm going to encounter, let's have it! 😅😅
First, as usual, we start with a sweet sake 😃.
This is the second sake I've had with Mori no Kuma-san 🤗.
The aroma is not so strong, and when you put it in your mouth, there is a slight stimulation on your tongue, and a gorgeous pineapple-like aroma escapes into your nose 😋, it is a refreshing sweet sake too!
By the way, tonight's sashimi platter consisted of kinome, scallop, bonito, flower sea bream, and sea bass 😘.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240621 ましらのやまさんGinsen Ginjoshu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Aruzoe Polishing ratio 50%, ALC 15
Long-term low-temperature fermentation with Yamagata yeast
This sake has a soft taste with a sweet ginjo aroma 😃.
However, the impression of the Jyushiyo Junmai Daiginjo-shu I had earlier is still vivid and I can't help but feel it's one rank lower 🤔😢.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240525 ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, Mashira no Yama 😃.
Our first Jyushidai was here!
But I really want to try the Jungin called Tears 🥹! ましらのやまさんHi Jay & Nobby😃I haven't encountered a Junmai Daiginjo of Jyushiyo in a long time... I encountered a similar sake to this one at a regular appreciation event at a familiar restaurant in front of Corona Disaster, but it closed in 2022. The sake was so good that I cried 😢 as the faces of the staff overlapped with the deliciousness of the sake. ましらのやまさんJunmai Daiginjo-shu
Nakadori Banshu Yamadanishiki Kamimoroshiro Namazomezume⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
100% Yamadanishiki produced in the special A district of Hyogo Prefecture
Polishing ratio 45%, ALC 15
It has a faintly sweet aroma and a mild, full, slightly sweet taste on the palate 😋.
It was so delicious that it brought tears to my eyes for some reason 🥰😆😂.
Chigasaki Chirori: 20240525 ma-ki-Mashira-no-Yama(san), hello.
To find a sake that brings tears to your eyes with its deliciousness is just bliss ✨.
It's this kind of emotion that makes me love sake more and more 😊. ましらのやまさんThank you for your comment, ma-ki 🤗I met a Junmai Daiginjo of Jyushiyo after a long time... I met a similar sake to this one at the Thanksgiving Festival for regular customers at my favorite restaurant in front of the Corona Disaster, but it closed in 2022. The sake was so good that the faces of the staff overlapped and I cried 😢! ましらのやまさんNichinichi Itoshima⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Polishing ratio not shown, Sake type not shown
100% Yamadanishiki produced in Itoshima, Fukuoka
ALC 12 degrees
Slightly sweet aroma, stimulating on the tongue, with just the right amount of sourness and bitterness, this is a light sake that seems to go well with summer 😄🥰.
