hoshiakiJunmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake🍶.
Kirei, dry taste. It has a delicious flavor when served with grilled pork with koji. The aroma of koji is very strong. It is also a good match with a Hirosaki souvenir, squid in black. The spiciness is good. The higher the temperature, the more umami comes out 😆.
Purchased at Morita Shoten @ Urawa, drinking at home 20240217 Y.TokushigeThe fresh and beautiful acidity comes for a moment, then the firm but not heavy umami spreads out, and it ends with a fruity, muscat-like cleanness.
A fresh fruity wine! It is delicious!
It's so refreshing that it feels like a summer sake.

It has a beautiful sake quality, with a clear and fresh taste with umami and acidity! I think the acidity is stronger than last year!

Sake rice: 100% Yumesasara produced in Tochigi Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 16% to 17%. Y.TokushigeSharp umami and soft bitter acidity in a beautifully clear sake quality is wonderful! Fresh with a gassy feel! It's delicious!
(PS) It is also good heated! It has a thicker body and a classic feel. When drunk with a meal, heated, it takes on the flavor of the meal and is delicious, while cold sake cuts through the flavor of the meal. Both are delicious!

It is not simply a dry sake, but has a depth of umami!

This is my first drink of 2024 😆.
Sweet, refreshing, melon. Dry aftertaste. Pleasantly light nigoromi. Gentle. My wife says it is "gentle enough to ease a tired heart.
Left it for a day and warmed it up the next day. 60° C. The aroma of rice spreads. The sweetness and umami are enhanced. Gentle.
Comment from the store
A new sake named after the Shinze Festival, which is held on November 23rd to give thanks for a bountiful harvest ✨This light nigori nama sake has an elegant top shelf aroma, a deep flavor, and a freshness that only new sake can offer, accented by the perfect amount of sake lees.

Cold sake. Sourness and spiciness typical of sake yeast yeast yeast. A little bitterness. It has a refreshing sharpness. The amberjack shabu-shabu will give it more sharpness.
Kamikan (50 degrees Celsius). Gentle. The amberjack shabu-shabu goes well with it. Spiciness is strong.
Hot sake 60°, a little acidity, but very gentle. Pleasant to drink as much as you want. I enjoyed the temperature change 😆.

Refreshing✨. Sweet apple type 🍎 with a bit of schwarziness. Dry aftertaste. Beautiful, beautiful sake, freshly squeezed 🎉.
Borrowing the following comment from Morita Shoten.
You can enjoy the gorgeous aroma, the gaseous feeling of new sake, and the crisp aftertaste that only freshly squeezed sake can give you. It becomes juicier and juicier with each passing day.
Purchased at Morita Shoten @ Urawa 20231210 Y.TokushigeIt has a banana-like fruity flavor, but it also has a strong tanginess and a fresh, dry impression with a good acidity. Although it gives the impression of a strong flavor, it does not interfere with food, so you can drink it and eat it repeatedly without hesitation.

I thought Shuho's Jun Dai would have a light, gentle mouthfeel, but it was a bit thicker with a strong umami flavor! In a sense, it is good to be betrayed!

Alcohol content: 17
Sake degree → -2
Acidity → 1.3

The rice is rich and full-bodied, but not too sharp and heavy, with a nice lingering aftertaste. It is delicious!
Sake rice: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Hyogo Prefecture
Rice polishing ratio: 55
Alcohol content: 17 degrees Celsius Y.TokushigeThe first sip of the supernatant gives a soft mouthfeel, followed by a gradual increase in umami and alcohol, and a lingering aftertaste.
When mixed with ori, the freshness increases, and the lingering aftertaste becomes a little softer, despite the presence of a wrinkled umami, acidity, and alcohol taste. There is also a hint of sweetness.
It is 18%, so you have to be careful not to drink too much.
