ヒロDrinking at home.
Visited the brewery to buy.
When I asked the clerk what he recommended, he ignored the gold medal winning sake 🥇 next to it and recommended this one 😅.
They say it is the best sake 🍶.
So here is the sake.
100% Yamada-Nishiki
When you open the bottle, you can smell the sweet aroma 😚.
This is ❗️ and expectations are high 😤.
The color is clear.
The sweetness is thin melon🍈🧐.
Or light tasting grapes🍇🤔.
After a few sips I'm lost 😅.
The mouthfeel feels clean and transparent, and goes down your throat like water💧.
No bitterness or astringency at all.
The ginjo aroma leaves a soft sweet scent that lingers softly: ☺️
Polished, clear, and elegant sake 🍶.
Certainly "the best of the best work of samorosugi" 😆👍. ヒロDrinking at home.
Visit the brewery and purchase.
They sell the Kanji Samorosugi only in Nara prefecture.
The clerk explained that the tanks are different from the ones they serve outside the prefecture😄.
I bought 2 bottles in total, but I can't take them home with me 🆒 so I will send them by express mail 📦.
It's sake 🍶.
100% Yamadanishiki from Nara Prefecture
Color is a little amber🟡.
Smell is sweet. It is not so strong.
Taste is green apple 🍏 type sweetness. But not flashy and mature 🤔.
The whole sake is tight and dry-like 🙂↕️
Flows down the throat with a slight carbonation🫧.
The ginjo aroma leaves a unique scent of momimuro cedar.
I get the impression that it is much less sweet than the previous Mimuro Sugi. I have the feeling that if it were reduced any further, it would upset the balance 🤔.
Still, it's great that you can still taste that you are drinking Mimuro cedar 😳. TakaToday, we visited the Imanishi Sake Brewery head office in Miwa, Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture, where "Mimuro Sugi" is produced.
We were very excited to see the historic brewery! (Photos were taken with the permission of the brewery👍)
And then...
We chose the "Mimurosugi" series, which is distributed only at the brewery and local directly-managed stores and is written in Kanji characters (special dealers distribute "Mimurosugi" written in Hiragana characters) 😊.
We were able to purchase an unfiltered Junmai Ginjyo, which they had just put on the store shelves today! (Thank you very much for your kind explanation!)
So we drank it with a grouper hot pot using grouper we caught the other day and it is so delicious 🥺.
Freshness, fruity sweetness, crisp finish, all really delicious!
I hope to visit Imanishi Shuzo again♪ RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
