Not as sweet as I expected for a -13 Seimaibuai. Has a pronounced yeasty / koji flavor. Very interesting.

Tangy and fruity
Pairing with oyster brings out a flash of umami from the oyster that is then washed over with a wave of sweetness from the Sake.
Same with Nisshin tataki
The first bite reminds you of your old home, as if you are being told "welcome home". A sense of stability and security abounds. I had it with salted herring tataki.

It is exactly for iwagaki (rock oysters). We had a small fresh oyster from Saroma, which we got in Otaru, with plenty of black pepper on it. It was delicious.

Initial flavor is grassy or mild licorice
Drinking with oyster boosts the oyster’s umami
Chrisbrz
Oyster with lemon brings out some licorice and caramel flavor from the Sake.

Initial flavor is Very fruity. Pairing with Zangi (唐揚げ) brings out some tartness. Very interesting flavor.
Drinking it with ほっけ brings out some yoghurt flavors.
Chrisbrz
Has a mild lemony flavor very tasty!
(Um, apologies if my description is not accurate, this is Sake #6 today 😵💫)
My wife says she can taste caramel, licorice and that it is not harsh despite being a Nama Genshu.
I wonder if we are drinking the same thing?!
Chrisbrz
Oh my… this is my kind of Sake.
It has a mild tangy yoghurt flavor great for a final Sake for the evening. This is another Sake that has enough character to drink as a stand-alone drink.
Yum!
Chrisbrz
Finally a good sharp Karakuchi!
Really cuts through the oils of Oyster Ahijó and いももち imo-mochi.
I think this would be good even drinking by itself.
Chrisbrz
My wife says this has an apple flavor, I thought it was more floral, like rose pedals
Pair’s nicely with sashimi.
Chrisbrz
Tangy, medium to full flavored. a little bitterness in the first sip but that fades with the next cup. Nicely balanced.
