The aroma is soothing and fruity, with a hint of lactic acidity. The taste is also very sweet and fruity. There is a slight fizziness that can be felt on the lips and tip of the tongue, and fresh citrus fruits such as lychee and orange. The last taste is slightly bitter with a gentle lingering sensation. The taste is right in the middle of the capsule family. As a side note, the other day on Doi Shoten's insta-live, he was asked "What will be the next trend after sweet and sour fruity beverages? Mr. Doi responded, "I think the new Niigata Tanrei style that Tenryohai-san is aiming for is coming, and I hope it will be exposed to the light of day in the future. This trend, which is literally narcotic in flavor, will be the moment when sake itself is brought into the limelight, and when the taste standard for sake is established by people around the world. We hope you will try it.

The aroma is piercingly gorgeous, with a so-called cemedine-like aroma and a peculiar odor derived from it? I have also felt a similar aroma in 寫楽. I have also felt a similar aroma to that of 寫aku. The taste has a slight bubbly sensation derived from nama and a refreshing sweetness. The bitterness and acidity are moderately suppressed for a nama-shu, but the robust roughness is very drinkable. However, the overall impression is of a rounded and gentle nama-shu. Since we are in Hiroshima, we served it with raw oysters today. Please try it.

I asked the waiter if he had any soft-water brewed sake and was introduced to this bottle. I wanted to study soft-water brewed sake because a friend of mine had joined a brewery that brews sake with the softest water in Japan. The aroma is fruity and sweet. The nose is fruity and sweet, with some lactic acidity. I was surprised at the lack of stickiness from the first sip to swallowing. The alcohol is also felt to a certain extent, which is typical of standard sake. The taste is "soft and fruity. The delicate balance between the softness of soft water and the fruity flavor is addictive. The ending is well-balanced with a hint of sourness and bitterness. I feel that I have found an exemplary answer to the question of modern sake made with soft water. What kind of snacks to pair with this sake? Fruity sake is difficult to pair with, but I think it would be a good match with fatty grilled fish such as Hokke. This is a bottle that showed me the possibilities of soft water. Finally, drinking this reminded me of Aizu Chusho. That soft and delicious sake is tentatively ranked as the most "surprising sake" I have had this year. I would like to try to find a sake that surpasses it. Please try it.

What's that aroma, lactic creamy acidity, have you ever smelled it in a white wine? The taste is moderately acidic, moderately sharp. In a good sense, it does not have any flashy characteristics. It is moderate, but it also gives you a good sense of umami. The final aftertaste is again a "moderate" bitterness. The sweetness is clean and refreshing. The acidity has a certain hook, so I feel that it has the potential to not lose its flavor during meals. I don't like white wine-like sake that much, but I think I can enjoy drinking this one. Overall, it is soft. Please try it.

Gorgeous fruity from the aroma. Clear and direct pineapple feel. Reminds me exactly of Cell 24 or F40G. The taste is not too sweet as the aroma suggests. Rather, it disappears quickly. When I drank it at a bar before, I felt the richness, but it was not that much because it was freshly opened. I guess it tastes like it has been fermented after opening the bottle, so I would like to let it sit for a few days. Recently, I have been into S&B's seasoning series, and I served it with jerk chicken. Please try it.

The aroma is marked by a lactic acidity and a gorgeous fruity quality. It is tempting to say, "This is it. The palate is juicy and pineapple-like, with a hint of citrus. The slight effervescence is not dull. The acidity gives it a strong sharpness. ?" Is that why? The orange-colored Omachi Aizan fusion has a longer aftertaste and is not as sharp. Is it because of the season? However, the modern sweet and sour fruity tastes are in vogue, so there is a tendency for similar tastes to emerge, but the MACHO series consistently has a strong umami flavor as an added value, which makes it unforgettable. We thought that pineapple would be a good accompaniment for such a juicy dish, so we served it with sweet-and-sour pork. We hope you enjoy it.

Aburacho Sake Brewery Gosho City, Nara Prefecture The aroma is juicy and fruity, reminiscent of apples and pineapples. (A little frustrating, since the description said white strawberries and pears.) My first impression of the taste is a sense of calmness. The fizziness and sweetness are more subdued than when I drank it before. The acidity is not that strong and there is a mellow aftertaste. The explanation column says it is a challenge edition, and the clerk at the store where I bought it said it had been three years since he had tasted it. The brewery describes Yamada-Nishiki as having a "crisp taste typical of Yamada-Nishiki. I had thought that Yamada-Nishiki was all about flamboyance, but I discovered something new. I feel that the flamboyance in the hint of aroma and the sharpness of the flavor is one of the brewery's answers to this question. At times like this, a little fatty food would not be too much for the taste. I would like to try it with fried white fish. We hope you enjoy it.

I was curious about this sake at Watago Sake Shop, with its macho illustration making a big impact! What a first time to enter the store. The "Oosazuki macho" series from Gunma's Makino Shuzo is a low-polished sake with a macho image, This is a junmai sake made from Aizan rice polished to 80%, with a pink label featuring a supple, thin, macho woman, macho man. It was great with the gyoza (dumplings) party he organized with his children for Father's Day. Yellow with a hint of green, Aromas of crisp, sweet and sour apple, pear, and a hint of lactic acidity. Slightly effervescent, mildly acidic, Dry and sharp, Sweet and sour, astringent, and bitter flavors are well balanced, The complexity is not so great, It has a beautiful finish that is hard to believe that it is a low-polished wine, It has a lean, fine macho feel with only the unnecessary fat trimmed off, leaving exactly what is needed! It's so sharp! It's delicious! And I didn't know such an eccentric sake was released by a long-established sake brewery with a long history. === Ingredients Ingredients: Rice (domestic), Rice malt (domestic) Rice used to make it: Aizan Polishing ratio: 80 Alcohol content: 15%. 1,870 yen for 720ml === Aizan ★★★★☆
