勢正宗らしい、旨味、酸味、甘味のバランスのいいところに、ふわっと春らしい華やかさがあって、春の旨口とでも呼びたくなる。
一通り味わった後、きれいにキレていくところも素晴らしい。
いやー、これはほんまに全ての要素がバランス良くて、めちゃくちゃ好き。
もっといろんなお店に置いてほしい。

The moment you put it in your mouth, you are hit with a burst of slightly sweet umami.
It does not have a sharp, dry taste, but the umami continues for a while, and then it finishes at a moderate level, which is called "dry"?
This flavor that is completely umami-guchi is rare among Yamaguchi sake, which is often made with the highest grade of quality.
It would go well with Nuta or firefly squid.

Haginotsuyu純米 美里 磨き八割 辛口原酒
たけさん
It has a dry taste with a little sweetness and dryness.
However, unlike sake that is all about dryness, it has a complex yet moderate umami flavor, perhaps because it is made with 80% polished rice?
It goes well with sashimi.

What is a special sake? It is a honjozo sake, but it is not crispy. It has a slightly sweet, dashi broth-like flavor that makes you feel relaxed.
I wondered if this dashi flavor is what makes it a tokuso (special brew).
It can be served cold, but I think it tastes better warmed up.

Sweet!
Sometimes when you drink an unknown alcoholic beverage, you get something you didn't intend to, so the skill of the drinker is tested by how he or she responds to such a situation.

It's like sugar water!

Gizaemon純米吟醸にごりざけ
たけさん
Although it is called "nigori" (cloudy), it is not cloudy, but rather it is left cloudy for the sake of umami.
Gizaemon is often refreshing, so this kind of slightly muddy sake is delicious with just the right amount of umami.

Hananomai逆刃刀 2024夏の純米吟醸
たけさん
It has a mild umami taste, which is typical of Shizuoka, but it also has a slightly dashi (Japanese soup stock) flavor.
The aftertaste is also a bit spicy, not just mildly umami-guchi, but a bit unique.
It is not just a mild umami, but a little bit unique.
