Daiginjo
Rice polishing ratio 50%.
Alcohol 17
Sake Degree +4
Personal Rating: ★★★☆☆☆☆
Impression
The dry taste has a firm umami flavor!
Freshness due to the sake being unpasteurized.
Slight brown sugar flavor in the aftertaste.
It was not as sweet and refreshing as a Junmai Daiginjo, but you can still taste the sake's deliciousness and richness!
However, if I keep drinking it, I'm sure I'll be crushed in no time. おふじ__________

Impressions
First Shinmasa, first Kijo sake!
I can't believe I got to drink this sake...!
I drank it with a lot of excitement.
Yum 😭
Refreshing sweetness like ramune spreads
Pale slightly carbonated taste...
followed by a weak acidity and a slight bitterness...
The aftertaste on the palate is good too!
Slightly thick on the tongue.
I wonder if this is kijo sake...
This is a different genre of sake from the ones I've had in the past.
I guess you could say it's a sake to be enjoyed by itself rather than to be paired with food...
It was so easy to drink that I would drink it again and again if I had the money!
However, I don't think I would have given it 5 stars if I had expected too much...
I'd like to try it when it's in better condition and I'd like to try another series of Shinsei 😭.
I'd like to try another series of Shinsei 😭 I'm sure my impression will change once I drink the freshly opened one... まさやまAt a sake bar in Sakae.
The origin and the pinnacle.
The sake that made me fall in love with sake.
Koji rice 60
Kake rice 60
To be honest, I was a little hesitant to drink it because I was worried that it might have been overestimated. Scary. LOL.
But I tried to drink it...
It's so good!
Very tasty!
After the sweetness, what can I describe it as, a feeling of being left out.
I have to admit that I was not as impressed as I was then, perhaps my taste buds have become discerning. (Still, it remains one of the best sakes I've ever had.)
It was a special sake that made me happy and sad, but I would still like to continue drinking it in the future. まーつIt was the starting point and the pinnacle of my love affair with sake.
It was the starting point and the pinnacle of my love affair with sake.
It is still delicious even after a long time.
The sweetness of the mellow kijoshu and the acidity of the shinsei are perfect. まーつA cup characterized by the delicious taste of rice and a hint of sweetness.
The sharpness typical of Tomikyucho is irresistible. まーつThis sake won first place in the Junmai-shu category of the SAKE COMPETITION 2024, which I had been looking for for a long time!
A sharp sake with a dry aftertaste that goes down smoothly.
The slight sweetness and umami of the rice are concentrated,
The moderate acidity, sharp aftertaste, and astringency were exquisite. RecommendedContentsSectionView.title
