Tsurunoe Aizu Chuujyou Yume no Ka Junmai Ginjo Tsurunoe Aizu Chuujyou Yume no Ka Junmai Ginjo Rice: 100% Yume-no-Ka Rice: 100% Yume no Ka Rice polishing ratio: 55% Seimaibuai Alcohol: 15% Alcohol Sake Degree +2 Nihonshudo Acidity 1.5 This sake is so good that you don't have to choose the pairing. I guess you could say it brings out the best in food. I'll have it. Sampled over two nights Initial flavor is slightly bitter and medium dry. A tangy finish with a mild sweetness that coats your mouth. Paired nicely with lemon butter salmon foil Yaki, pork & gyoja garlic but not as well with soft cheeses.

Will save some to try with pasta.

But watch out, the alcohol sneaks up on you! My wife says: A good, sturdy, full-flavored Sake. Sake that has its own axis. No need to say anything.

富久長 秋櫻 ひやおろし 純米吟醸 Fukucho Cosmos Hiyaoroshi Junmai Ginjo Hi everyone, sorry we were sick with the dreaded C-word so we had to take a break from alcohol for a few weeks. Seems like we still have not recovered our sense of taste,. sadly, this is really affecting our tasting notes so maybe we have to wait a little longer to enjoy Sake’ subtleties. In our current state, the only thing I can taste is Tangy and bitter, it overwhelms sushi. It’s matching better with Brie cheese and minced Katsu.
Chrisbrz
We will try again next week. Have a Happy New Year! Everyone

MIYASAKA Junmai Ginjo Nakadori MIYASAKA Junmai Ginjo Nakadori Rice polishing ratio 55% Seimaibuai Alcohol 15% Alcohol Bright and lively flavor maybe a bit like green apples. Some bitterness but also some sweetness and umami. My wife says It starts with a mellow aroma, then there is a slight tangerine taste, and after that there is a very wrinkled sensation in the mouth, which gives the impression that this sake is alive!

Smooth and elegant this is a great Sake to drink after dinner. Of course, we drank it with dinner too! The mouthfeel is fruity and grapefruity, but it also has an indigenous flavor that is very consistent.

両関 亀の尾 純米吟醸Rz55 Ryozeki Kaneno-o Junmai Ginjo Rz-55 Mildly sweet, melody or ripe banana flavored. Soft mouthfeel lets the flavor linger. An excellent partner for sashimi (maguro, shake, Hotate). Even goes well with hula girl tomatoes🍅 and 巨峰 葡萄🍇 Very versatile!

玉川 純米吟醸 福袋 無濾過生原酒 Tamagawa Junmai Ginjo Fukubukuro Muroka Namagenshu Wow a beautiful Junmai, rich and flavorful Sake. When the initial sweetness fades The aftertaste lingers a bit with a smooth mild bitterness. Let this warm up to 20°C for its character to come out. It holds up against today’s challengers: 蒲焼鰻 kabayaki unagi and きゅうり梅しそ鰹節 Ume Shiso Katsuobushi cucumber slices. Make sure you have some Sansho with your unagi

吾有事 火先 純米大吟醸 にごり Wagauji Hosaki Junmai Daiginjo Nigori Okay, definitely heed the warning on the label about the cap flying off. It happened to me and I wasn’t even trying to open the bottle yet. Despite the cap flying across the room, in the choko this Wagauji is not so effervescent. The flavor is slightly sour and bitter, but refined. Definitely a distinguished handsome Daiginjo Sake, if that makes any sense?
Chrisbrz
As usual, we are enjoying Sake with sashimi, but I think we should save half of the bottle and drink
Chrisbrz
It with unagi later in the week.
Chrisbrz
Hi! We’re back! Wow today was hot, even up here in Hokkaido, so we picked up a 3種類、うなぎ蒲焼寿司セット…
Chrisbrz
(Which was, meh, not so tasty) and some 白焼 (which was good). As expected Wagauji was great w/ unagi

醸し人九平次 協田 純米大吟醸 Kamoshibito Kuheiji Kyoden Junmai Daiginjo First sip was Kind of 甘辛い AMA-Karai with a tangy bitter finish. The nose/fragrance is a little alcohol-heavy but also has a distinct Koji-kin scent. The Omachi has rice has a rich, full flavor & body. Delicious! We could drink this anytime! I guess you could say that we are クレージー for 九平次 ha ha ha 親父ギャグ❗️🙏ごめん❗️

Wow! Delicious! Tangy almost yogurt flavored with a strong alcohol finish. A good sturdy flavorful Sake that holds up against Yakitori (甘いタレ). Not much information on the label, even though the Seimaibuai is 50%, it’s not listed as a Daiginjo. It has the richness of a Junmai, but… apparently it is not. Made from 100% Ginpu rice 精米歩合 50% Seimaibuai アルコール 14% Alcohol

Pairing with sashimi really brings back the tanginess flavor

楯乃川SHIELD 亀の尾 Tatenokawa Shield Kameno-o 純米大吟醸 Junmai Daiginjo Made from 100% Kameno-o rice from Yamagata Prefecture. 精米歩合 50% Seimaibuai アルコール 15% Alcohol Rich flavorful Daiginjo with nicely balanced sweetness and a little tangy bitterness in the aftertaste. Pairs well with (supermarket) sushi and sashimi but I think this would be a good Sake to drink just on its own.

醸し人九平次 SAUVAGE 純米大吟醸 Kamoshibito Kuheiji SAUVAGE Junmai Daiginjo Rather tangy, but with a good amount of sweetness. Be careful if you are sipping this sommelier style, you will feel a little bit of alcohol burn on the back of your throat. For a Daiginjo, this is rich and full flavored For a Kuheiji, this is a little dry, well-balanced We love 💕 Kuheiji and buy it every chance we get.

Miyakanbai Junmai Daiginjo Seimaibuai 40% Alcohol 15% Lots of umami and tanginess in the first cup.. Distinct rice and Koji flavor. Tanginess lessens as you drink and eat. Very tasty! Delicious! The flavor lingers in your mouth, Take your time and enjoy drinking this.
