Timeline
ellieI bought this one last December. I bought it on impulse because it was advocated in Sake-no-wa that you should buy Nabeshima Tokujun when you see it 😅.
This is my first time drinking it.
It didn't spill, but when I took a sip, I was like "this is good! I'm like 😆.
The best part is the clear acidity 🥹 I'm a sucker for acidity and I was impressed. A little complex and sharp.
I was also impressed by the acidity of my first rice wine, but this is a different kind 🥺 really delicious 😋.
I had a junmai ginjo (purple) of Yamadanishiki before, but I like this one better.
The Fuji in the picture is from April. There is no snow on the ground yet this fall. ジェイ&ノビィHi ellie 😃
Definitely a recommendation 🤗Nabeshima's special pure is delicious 😋.
I'm looking forward to seeing your photos of this year's capped snow 🗻👋. ellieHi Jay & Novi😃
I went to buy Sawaya Matsumoto but I flipped out and bought this one lol.
Turns out you are right👍.
I wonder when the snow cap will be due to climate change... ellieYesterday I was on a business trip to Yokohama. I found a liquor store called Ichiishiya, looked at the ample showcase, and bought a bottle. I'll save this one for later.
I also opened a bottle of this one because I needed to consume the sake hibernating in the fridge as soon as possible.
This three-day weekend was a complete day off.
I'm cleaning the house, changing clothes and organizing the bedding. I also have to do some work, but I have time to drink.
First time at Eiko-Fuji. It's the one that was all over the sake crocodile.
It's been a long time since I've had a slightly sparkling, sweet and sour one 😁I really like this kind of beer. I'm glad I bought a lot of bottles.
Before I knew it, I had checked in 8 different types of Yamagata sake 😲.
The snacks were fried taro, bonito tataki, and beef hormone yakitori. ellieI thought it was Tenju Shuzo because it was called Chokaisan, but it wasn't, it seems to be a brewery specializing in dobrokusan. I noticed this after I bought it😅.
There were black and white, but I couldn't get my hands on the black one, which claims to be rich, so I decided to go with the white one in favor of the easy-drinking one 🙃.
I think I had had a Dobrok a long time ago 🤔 I don't remember. And what should I have as a side dish? All I don't know. When I opened the bottle, it didn't particularly blow me away.
It tastes like...
A strong sourness that I have never experienced before❗️∑.
I thought it would be sweet, but it wasn't, and it was round without being too much on the nose, seriously delicious 😋! (I like sourness). This might be the most impressive since Tasake...
The side dishes were pork salt nabe and chutoro (medium fatty tuna) sashimi.
I think it goes better with oily food than sashimi. ellieMy favorite Sawaya Matsumoto, I opened a bottle because I had some in stock 😋.
Basically, I like to try different kinds of sake, but this one is exceptional. I drink it regularly.
I turned it upside down and it spilled. I didn't have an image that it fizzes strongly....
I had it with bonito tataki and vinegared pork.
Recently, I noticed that Sawaya-Matsumoto's crest and our family crest are the same 👀. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, ellie 😃
I had a drink at Sawaya Matsumoto the other day after a long time 🤗I'd like to drink at home next time 😊. ellieGood evening Jay & Novi 🌇.
I saw your thread 😃I'm pretty sure this sake is ❗️ By the way, light nigori is usually distributed in January or February. It's delicious 😁. ellieIt's Silver Week in the world.
I only have Sunday off, so I had a drink on Saturday night 😋.
I've always been curious about Nabeshima since it's been mentioned a lot in the sakénowa thread. Mishimaya Sake Shop seems to have several varieties on permanent display 🧐.
When opened, the cork flies open with a bang😲.
Good aroma. Slightly effervescent. Not much acidity (I've been drinking a lot of high acidity lately, so maybe my taste buds have gone crazy).
It's sweet and robust.
I wonder if this purple is the basic one from the various postings.
I paired it with stir-fry today, but I think it would go better with Japanese food than oily food. ジェイ&ノビィGood morning, ellie 😃.
Our first Nabeshima was a green special pure! It's a classic, but it's delicious and I recommend it 🤗.
This purple one was Nobby's favorite 😋. ellieGood evening, Jay & Novi😄.
I see. I imagined it to be lighter, but it tasted surprisingly robust. It's the kind of sake you want to calm down and prepare proper snacks with! ellieRecently, I have come to know what kind of liquor stores exist in the prefecture. In addition to Kuboyama Sake Brewery and Yokozeki, there are also Mishimaya Sake Brewery in Izu, Shinoda Sake Brewery and Yamada Sake Brewery in Shimizu, etc. They have completely different varieties of sake. Thanks to this, I have 8 bottles of sake in my fridge, including those given to me as gifts or for memorial services 😓.
Now, it's Obon. It's a time when work is light, so I drink even on weekdays.
Yamamoto is the most popular at Mishimaya Sake Shop. The owner says "black is the basic", so I did as I was told 🫡.
The taste is...refreshingly sour and not too sweet. Refreshingly light and dry? It is 😁You know, it's similar to Goemon, but I think this one is easier to drink and has more character.
But I've been opening sake at a fast pace lately... I have to be careful.
I have to be careful. ジェイ&ノビィGood evening, ellie 😃.
It's fun to plan a liquor store tour when you know what kind of liquor stores are available 🤗.
I think it's good to have about 8 bottles in stock so you can drink in peace and relax 👍Keep up the pace 😉. ＠水橋Good morning, ellie 😃.
A long time ago 😆 I lived in Numazu for a job transfer. I learned from Nagashima-san, a liquor store in Numazu, to keep sake in the fridge even if it's not fresh 😅.
Yamamoto looks delicious 😊. Rafa papaGood morning Ellie 😃
I'll be happy if I can find out which store sells the sake I want to try and go to the store and buy it successfully ☺️ It's like a treasure hunt... 😆 I see you like Southern 🥰 I'm going to Chigasaki live: ✌️ ellieHi Jay & Nobby 😃.
I've been enjoying my liquor store visits lately.
Having 8 bottles is spectacular, but the guilt of buying so much unhealthy stuff is winning out... 😅 lol ellieHello @Mizuhashi😃
I see you know Nagashima Sake Shop 😄.
My relatives used to procure a lot of things from that liquor store when they had a memorial service. I haven't been there yet!
They seem to carry Yamagata Masamune so I will definitely visit one day 😁. ellieHello Rafa papa😃
That's exactly right, I was overjoyed when I found a defender and a breaker in the prefecture ^ ^ ^. ellieRafa papa.
Glad to hear from a Southern fan 😆Congratulations on winning the Chigasaki ❗️ I missed it 😭I did win the one 20 years ago 😭.
Have a great time ❗️ ellieI wonder if they will do a New Year's Eve concert... Rafa papaI love Southern and have been to most of their tours 😊I also went to the Chigasaki concert in 2000 😆. ellieI'm usually there too ❗️Chigasaki in 2000 was great too 😆 I'll hold out for live viewing this time. ellieI have another bottle of Yamanashi souvenir sake, but I'm opening this one over the weekend after getting through a tricky job 😋.
How does it feel to have a sake degree of -17?
The mouthfeel is definitely sweet. But it is different from the sweetness of Haruyingsutsuyu. It is not too sweet.
Furthermore, the acidity is quite noticeable 😆 Is the sweetness not noticeable due to the acidity? I am happy about this because I recently realized that I like acidity.
In general, I liked the taste!
I had it with sashimi, hijiki, and yakitori.
After I finish drinking this, I'll open a bottle of my favorite sake for the Bon vacation 😆. ellieI'm going to work all through GW and tomorrow is my only day off. I want to savor it as much as possible tonight.
I bought this sake at Mishimaya Sake Shop in Izu Nagaoka in February, and I regret that I should have bought Aizan as well, since it was also on sale. However, this liquor store had a great selection. Nabeshima and Yamamoto stood out.
The taste...this is it! It tastes just like the first time I encountered this sake! The fizz is strong and juicy, but with a nice sweetness and umami. I realized that the reason I felt that Sairai and Denshokiku were lacking was because I was craving this flavor.
We had it with pork miso nabe and bonito tataki. ぴーたまGentle mouthfeel.
No top notes.
Umami and sharp, gentle and sharp.
Medium sweetness and spiciness, perfect with Japanese food 😋😋.
The alcohol feeling on the nose is also pleasant.
Isoboast level is very high 😊.
2200 yen without tax
Correction after 2 days.
There is a pleasant ginjo aroma at the top of the nose, which gives rise to an exquisite sense of alcohol on the nose 😋.
In a wine glass, it has a certain grapey, gorgeous ginjo aroma. I drank it after Sono Kangiku on the first day and didn't notice 💦. ぴーたまThe upper aroma is refreshing, but small in quantity.
The tangy, slightly gaseous taste, high alcohol stimulation, and bitterness from the umami taste finish off the taste.
The balance is so good that the 18% alcohol content is not noticeable.
It is a delicious sake that will keep you going for another sip while enjoying your meal.
1576 yen without tax for a four-pack
My only regret is that since I was driving, I should have bought a bottle of Isoban Honjozo. きなこ🌱
First Yamamoto!
Mild with a refreshing fruit aroma.
I like this one.
I sipped it with duck hot pot! きなこ🌱
We had dinner at a ryokan, and I wanted to bring something to drink, so I got approval and made a toast🍴
Fruity and crispy.
I've never had it before, but it goes well with sashimi and boiled vegetables☺️.
We had a dinner while comparing with other sake, and my husband seemed to like Solstice. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
