Sake My Life
Aoki Sake Brewery Minamiuonuma City, Niigata Prefecture The aroma is mild, juicy and fruity. The first impression of the taste is "thick", and it has a strong punch, probably due to its 17% alcohol content. It is more of a sweet wine, but it is a good middle ground between sweet and savory. The flavor is both rich and crisp. The richness is especially noticeable. To be honest, it does not have the flamboyance of Yamada-Nishiki, but it may be a bottle that makes the most of the potential of Yamada-Nishiki. I am looking for a sake that is more refreshing while maintaining this richness. Tsururei is the sake that got me started drinking sake, and after several years of drinking it, I feel differently about it. Since we are in the season of firefly squid, it should be a good match with seafood that has a few quirks. We hope you enjoy it.

Sake My Life
Murayu Sake Brewery Akiba-ku, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture The aroma is in the fruity category, but very koji rice aroma is strong. Is it a pre-fruity stage? I described it as koji rice, but it also has a citrusy aroma. I would like to study the relationship between these aromas in the future. The taste is sweet but has a certain sharpness, so it is not sticky. The ratio of sweetness to sharpness is 7:3. I appreciate that it is a draft sake, so it is lighter than the Murayu I drank before. I agree with other Sake-no-wa users who note that it should be left for a few days. Looking forward to the acidity and robust sweetness from the oxidation. I will have it with mussel sashimi. Please try it. Four days later, I drank it again. The aroma was mellow and fruity without the koji aroma. The taste tapered off, but it was richer. It was a good discovery that the aroma had calmed down after the brewer let it sit for a while. Also, the aroma is like dark sugar, which may have something to do with the koji aroma.
