This junmai ginjo-shu is an autumn-only sake that has spent a summer in the brewery, slowly mellowing and becoming aromatic and smooth on the palate. It is characterized by its firm flavor and soft acidity that has been matured until autumn.

To close out the day, I decided to drink a change of pace because I had struck out trout with a slider. The brewery is located in Yanagihara, Matsuyama City. The description says it is sake-based and has a refreshing aroma and a soft, mellow flavor. The description said it was sake-based, with a refreshing aroma and a soft, mellow flavor. It is true that it has a melon flavor. And yet it is easy to drink. The course is sweet like today's Otani, but it is important to have a strong feeling. The naming may be a good way to say it.

Commemorating the WBC championship, Ehime local sake drinking comparison. Taking advantage of the second best hitter, we chose a Junmai Daiginjo from a brewery in Uwajima City. I have drunk most of Ehime's local sake brands, but this was one I had not yet experienced. I drank it expecting it to be bold like a trout or skillful like a Kondo. Contrary to my expectations, it was like a smoked silver No. 2 hitter. It reminded me of Shozo Doi, Hiromasa Arai, and Kozo Shoda. The overall balance is good without highlighting any one point, such as the ginjo aroma or the richness of junmai.

Ehime Local Sake Drinking Competition to Commemorate WBC Winner. Sake drinkers enjoy drinking sake to celebrate anything and everything. Today's first batter is a brewery in Uwa-machi, Seiyo City. Sake from Nanyo. I always feel a little weird that Seiyo City is called Nanyo in Japanese, but I don't care about that today. It is soft to the taste and refreshing, but at the same time you can taste the deliciousness of the rice. It doesn't have the heavy feeling that is typical of Nanyo, but it is enjoyable in its own way.

Ehime local sake drinking comparison extra. It's the last of the end of the year, so I can't end up with someone (sake) that isn't my favorite. A brewery in Nanyo Ozu City. I drank it while remembering how I enjoyed Ozu Castle and the Elk River in the summer. I was a bit skeptical as I drank it. It is a sake right from the start. It has a full-bodied flavor of rice with a hint of ginjo on the palate. It is a good choice for this year's first sake. The label is fashionable, but at the same time authentic. It does not look like Nanyo, but it is.

I would definitely drink it if I could find it in a pub in the city ❤.

Today's trio is from a brewery in Hachitari, Nakayo Matsuyama City. When I hear the name of this brewery, I think of nigori sake. However, this time we will have a special junmai. From the moment I drank it, I felt that the flavor was not well balanced. I can feel a little bit of a cloying taste both in the mouth and down the throat. This sake is not a good match for me today, but I would like to try nigori sake next time.

Today's runner-up is a brewery in Dogo-Kitamachi, Chuyo Matsuyama City. I remember drinking a cup of sake from this brand before. You can't read "Nikitatsu" at first sight, and you don't know what it means. But now it is convenient. I look it up on my cell phone while drinking. The land of Dogo, NIKITATSU, Manyo, King Nukata. Words I saw in history classes and textbooks. And the names of Matsuyama's natural monuments. Many titles for many things. The first sip of this sake had a strong acidity, but as you drink it, it becomes less bothersome as your palate adjusts to it. It goes down your throat nicely.

This will be the last Ehime sake drinking contest of the year. The first one is a sake from Nanyo Uwajima. It is moderately sweet, yet easy to drink. The richness and Nanyo character of junmai sake can be felt slightly after drinking. It is an easy sake to pair with food.

I made a mistake with the check-in issue and resent it. My apologies for the like. Today's trio was from a brewery in Miyoshi, Saijo. Last time, the cup sake was a little old, so we had a revenge match. It looks a little golden. The aroma was a little old. The mouthfeel was a bit disappointing, as was the last time I drank a cup of sake. I may have to evaluate it with this brewery's specified name sake.

Today's runner-up is a brewery in Matsumae-cho, Iyo-gun, Chuyo. Masaki-cho is hard to read at first sight. I wonder if Masaki has been spreading a little outside the area since Emifuru was built. Aside from that, this sake is named after the residence of Kato Yoshiaki, the Seven Spears. It looks golden in color, and the negative word expression is old incense, but it is not that unpleasant, and there is an aroma of maturity & some brandy. It has acidity. It is hard to match with meals, but it is good for a leisurely drink.

The spearhead of today's Ehime sake drinking comparison is a famous brewery in Asahi-cho, Imabari City, Toyo. From the label and name, it seemed to be a summer sake. Never mind that, we started with the aroma. There is a ginjo aroma from the upper aroma. The mouthfeel is clean and refreshing, like a sake from Toyo. It is easy to drink, but the fullness in the mouth is weak.

Today's trio was from a brewery in Shubu, Saijo City. It tasted different from the nigori sake I have had before. It tastes different from the nigori sake I have ever had. It is easy to drink, but when you finish it, the acidity spreads on your palate. It is easy to drink, but when you finish it, the acidity spreads in your mouth.

Using "Matsuyama Mitsui" rice produced in Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture, this junmai nigori sake is designed to resemble a jewel-like silver world, with a deep, gentle flavor and a dignified freshness that can be enjoyed.
The description is written after describing it as I think it is because of bias, but I am enjoying it very much because there are parts that match my sensibilities and parts that do not, and parts that I can teach again.

Good morning, Pon-chan.
I'm afraid that my review is not yet good enough.
Ehime is a good place to visit if you are tired. Ehime is a good place with many healing points such as hot springs, gourmet food, castles, and sake.

Today's runner-up in the Ehime sake drinking contest is from a brewery in Shizugawa, Toon City. It is smooth and easy to drink from the beginning to the end. After the throat, you can feel the spiciness. It is not unique, but is a perfect accompaniment to a meal. The ginjo aroma is weak.

This ginjo-shu is brewed with the finest quality sake rice, Yamadanishiki, and brewed with the utmost care. Its subtle aroma and mild acidity complement food, and while it is dry, you can also enjoy its umami flavor.

We have recently been skipping the Ehime sake drinking comparison. Today's starter is a brewery in Kanada-cho, Shikokuchuo City. Needless to say, it is a well-known brand in Ehime. It is a light and dry sake, but you can feel the umami and richness of the rice in your mouth. A beautiful sake with no cloying taste.
Here is the description.
Sake degree -5.5
Alcohol 16-17
Although it is a regular sake, Yamada-Nishiki is polished to 50%, the same level as Daiginjo, and carefully crafted to bring out the characteristics of the rice. It has a soft fruity aroma and a soft sweetness that spreads in the mouth.
