Tamanohikari Omachi Junmai Daiginjo Sake 1673
This is not my favorite. Surprised it’s a +3.5 but I’m still learning that rating. I would have thought lower but let’s let it warm a bit. I’m getting a bitter taste that I don’t love when chilled. Brand - Tamanohikari

Better with food but still a bitterness I’m not loving. Not getting a lot on the nose. Bitterness on the palate. Long warming finish. Getting more alcohol as it warms. — 2 years ago

GI Shizuoka
Clean and polished but with more depth and weight than the typical delicate Shizuoka style. Omachi brings a rounder, more savory palate with restrained fruit and good structure. Smooth through the middle with a clean, slightly dry finish.
Tasted at Sake Day SF — 9/26/2026. Rating is limited since the same glass was reused throughout the tasting, making it difficult to get a truly clean tasting and accurate read on the aromas. @delectable — 4 days ago
