むら909
Toyama Prefecture Ariiso Akebono Shiboritate Unpasteurized Nama Shu Riemon Hazy pale silver First impression of the aroma is mild. Shiratama dumplings, muscat, lychee, quite spicy First impression of the taste is rather strong Elegant sweetness, sharp acidity, bitterness with presence Balance of freshly squeezed freshness and the punch of nama sake, yet fruity and pleasant on the palate, making it easy to drink too much Slightly long finish Fruity punch! No wonder it is so popular! The punch of the nama sake makes it as good as my recent favorite "Spicy Gouda Cheese" (Gouda cheese with cumin). The cheese is a nice omission to wrap up the bitterness that I personally find a bit bothersome!

Good evening, Murasan. Fruity Punch, that's it! That's right. Is the balance of too palatable and too much to drink a compliment? 🤣

Rice polishing ratio 60 Sake degree +13 Acidity 1.3 Transparent, nearly colorless, faintly yellow in color. The first impression of the aroma is gentle. Chocolate, freshly pounded rice cake, slight hint of yogurt TasteFirst impression is slightly strong Weak sweetness sweetness, gentle acidity, bitterness with a moderate chocolaty richness The balance is easy to drink with food while feeling a sense of sake yeast that is not too strong. When warmed up, the disparate flavors of the hiya are gently brought together. I like it better when it is warmed up. I would like to drink it while feeling the liver of bai clam in a delicious broth or firefly squid now. I would also like to eat firefly squid with egg, sprinkled with mitsuba leaves, and served warm.

The sake is very easy to drink, and is easy to recommend to those who say they are not good at sake. It is a delicious sake to drink on its own, and I think it would go well with light appetizers, but surprisingly, I think it would go well with fried horse mackerel with mayo and soy sauce. I think I just want to eat it now.

The first impression of the aroma is youthful and the ginjo aroma is faint.

The balance of the freshness of nama-shu and the moderate fruity taste makes it easy to drink. The aftertaste is rather long. It seems to be hard when the bottle is just opened, but it will be good after a few days. When I was about to buy what I was looking for at a liquor store I have been going to for years, I was told that they had recently started carrying this sake. He said, "We just recently started carrying this sake. Try it again if you like. A young master brewer is working hard at a brewery that had been dormant for some time. When he spoke enthusiastically, I felt like drinking it "now" instead of "again". I took a bottle and left. I really enjoy drinking sake recommended by people who seem to really like sake, whether at a liquor store or a restaurant.

Comparison of Yamamoto's No. 6 and No. 7 yeast, which are released every year at this time. Yamamoto's No. 7 has a milder but stronger aroma and a more pronounced bitterness, giving the impression of a more clearly defined profile. I think No. 6 is more rounded. Both prefer a cooler temperature range.

First impression on the palate is rather strong Full sweetness, firm acidity, moderate bitterness. Strong fruity sweetness, but it does not linger, so you can drink it without getting lazy. I like to drink it chilled with a glass of wine. I would like to drink it with light cheese as a side dish. If I dare to match it with food, I'd like to try it with "octopus and apple with vinegared miso", but I think the vinegared miso would lose out... But I'll give it a try!

The fruity aroma is rather punchy but not too strong, and the balance allows you to drink it with a sense of rice flavor. The lingering aftertaste is moderate. It is moderately fruity, and you can drink it while feeling the umami of the rice. I like it at a cooler temperature. It is not so peculiar, so I think it can be used with all kinds of food, but I can easily recommend it for light appetizers. It has a sourness that reminds me of grapefruit, so I think it would be good with tempura instead of lemon. Shrimp tempura with salt. I'd like to drink it with that.

Oh, the bavarois that my daughter is making in front of me right now looks pretty good! I'll ask her to share some when it's done. I wonder if she'll share it with me,

Weak sweetness, fine acidity and mild bitterness. At first it feels dry, but soon you can taste the umami of the rice, and the balance is very elegant and gorgeous without being overpowering. It leaves a good aftertaste. I personally prefer Tobiroki's special junmai, which has a bit more umami, but the junmai daiginjo is also delicious! My personal impression of Tobiroki is "a perfect balance of gorgeousness and umami. I can easily recommend Tobiroki for those who want a beautiful sake.

Hokkaido Kamikawa Taisetsu Special Junmai Kamikawa Taisetsu Brewery Polishing ratio 60 Alcohol content 16%. Nearly colorless crystal with a sense of transparency The first impression of the aroma is moderately gorgeous Rum raisin, melon, lychee, and Kamishinko First impression of the taste is slightly strong Clear and fruity, but with a firm rice sweetness, a fine acidity, and a bitterness that is present but not unpleasant. Overall, it is fruity and easy to drink, but not too light. It leaves a good lingering aftertaste that is not tedious. This may be the first sake from Comet. It is said to be a rice that tends to produce a light sake, so it is called "Comet of sharpness", but it is not only light but also has a delicious flavor. I have the impression that it is easy to recommend to everyone. It is a good sake on its own, but if you want to pair it with food, it would probably be an appetizer. It has a moderate ginjo aroma, so I think it would go well with cheese.

Alcohol content 17 Transparent dark orange The first impression of the aroma is that of maturity. Fragrant wood, old chests, chocolate, smoked aroma The first impression on the palate is strong. Full-bodied sweetness, acidity with presence, lingering bitterness. Complex flavor balance with a slightly long finish. Quite a peculiar sake! I think I like it better when it is warmed up, as it becomes a little rounder. I wonder what kind of food it would be good with... It has a spicy flavor, so it would be good with curry or Chinese food. I think there might be a dish that would hit the spot. It would be interesting to find out.

Freshly harvested rice, yogurt, white peach First impression on the palate is mild Elegant rice sweetness, gentle and smooth acidity, moderate bitterness, fine and silky texture. You can taste the freshness of freshly squeezed rice and the mild rice flavor. Sake with umami, but not too strong, so it can be paired with pretty much any dish. Right now I'm in the mood for some bonito with a nice salt. Yuzuan-yaki (grilled bonito with yuzu citrus) would be good too! Sake by itself is also good! I like it when it's a little cooler than usual, when it's just about to come back to room temperature. It's so easy to drink!

Grapefruit citrus, globular spice, polished rice First impression of the taste is slightly strong Weak sweetness, sharp and strong acidity Juicy citrus, but not sweet, with a firm finish and a rather short aftertaste. It is fruity and yet cuts well, so it can be served with sashimi as well. It would also go well with a delicious sea bream served with salt. It also has a strong acidity, so it would be good with tempura as a way to cut oil.

Junmai Ginjyo KENICHIRO, Namahashidake brewing Alcohol content: 16% (original sake) Rice used: Koshitanrei Rice polishing ratio: 50 Sake meter: (-)10.0 Acidity: 2.6 Slightly hazy pale silver color. First impression of the aroma is elegant and gorgeous rice Fresh grapes, peach, lychee, white dumplings The first impression on the palate is light and juicy fruit with umami. Fresh fruity sweetness, acidity that is not too strong but just where you want it, and a mild bitterness that holds it in place at the end, as if to remind you not to forget it. Overall, the wine has a good balance of juicy fruitiness with a lively, juicy flavor, and a nice lingering finish. Ah, this is the type of sake I like when I drink it by itself now! Fruity with a touch of rice, but not too sweet and refreshing! I also like the smooth silky feeling that is common to another "K" I had before! I think it's best served chilled with fresh cheese, but if you want to pair it with food, I'm not sure what. I think it would go well with grape salad, or maybe even tempura!
