Delicious! The umami, sourness, and sweetness come with a bang, and surprisingly, everyone leaves after the first round, leaving only a slight spiciness in the aftertaste. It tastes like a model of umami-guchi. The acidity is strong for a Shiga sake. I don't think it goes well with sashimi, but I think it can be served by itself or with a wide range of simmered and grilled dishes. I just don't know where to go to drink it 😂.

So meek.... From the beginning to the end, it is just gentle. No matter what it is, umami, sourness, sweetness, bitterness, or spiciness, there is nothing that stands out. It's a similar type to Iyano's earlier, but this one is more shadowy. She's not a bad girl, but I wouldn't dare to choose her.

It is a much gentler umami or sweeter flavor. The sweetness comes before the umami, but there is no lack of umami. The aftertaste is a sourness that gradually fades away. It may be too gentle and not enough, but if I say that it never interferes with food, it may be true. However, it doesn't seem to complement each other...

2023 Year in Review. We had it at the Ushiro. Sho Shiki Akai Ito" Junmai Ginjo Nama (Shiga Ginbuki) [Sho Shiki Shuzo, Shiga]. When you put it in your mouth, you will feel a soft sweetness on your nose. The sweetness, which is not too assertive but firm, softly envelops the bitterness of the sake, gently blurs it, and then disappears. The aftertaste is only a lingering aftertaste that does not even reach the aroma.

It is more like a cloudy, firm-bodied sake than an ogomi. It has a strong orikomi, a strong sense of nama sake, and a strong umami. It is not easy to match with food, but I think there are some dishes it can be matched with. Maybe delicacies. Maybe funazushi (fermented crucian carp sushi). I don't know. I'm a beginner of muddy sake, so I can't feel Mimuro-sugi's character and it seems to be just a common muddy sake. Well, what the heck, I like Mimurosugi 🤗.

Spat, as the saying goes! It's not the "spicy" Niigata sake, but rather a taste I've never had before! It's not the kind of Niigata sake that is "spicy," but it's different from the likes of Kachiyo and Tsururei, and has a flavor I've never had before. It is mild, but has a certain something, like a dashi (Japanese soup stock) like that of Ebisu. It is easy to match with any dishes, but it is not a complete complement to the dishes, but rather a little bit of a presence. I'd like to drink it again if I see it, but I'm sure I'll never come across it, so I'll have to look for it on the internet.
