Itokawa, Niigata Prefecture. Tahara Sake Brewery Co.
Yukitsuru Junmai-shu, natural spring water brewing.
Yes, this is Yukitsuru.
I had never seen it before, so I bought it at a tasting event at Hanshin Department Store.
I had no prior knowledge of the brewery, so I didn't talk much with the brewer.
I had it cold.
The color was clear, almost colorless, but with a hint of yellow.
The top aroma is mainly alcoholic, with a slight graininess.
It has a fine, mineral-like mouthfeel and flows smoothly into the mouth.
It has a minerally, yet gradually delicious flavor, with a slightly bitter aftertaste that stimulates the tongue with a slight spiciness.
There is a little bit of nuttiness in the umami.
It is a little more light and dry than other sake, but it is a very typical sake that you will never get tired of drinking.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Alcohol content: 15
Polishing ratio: 65
I did it. I underestimated the cautionary note about opening the bottle. All I could do was watch as the cork popped and half the bottle flowed out before I could remove the aluminum lid. Good thing I opened it in the kitchen.
Almost no aroma, firm and smooth (I guess), and clean on the palate. I bought it because I wanted to drink something like this in the summer, but I ended up drinking half of it.

#Japanese Sake
Fizzy, pale smoked gray. Intense, fruity aroma reminiscent of passion fruit and guava. The aroma is strong. Refreshing mouthfeel with a burst of carbonation. Sharp bitterness from the carbonation. Hints of powdery residue. Slightly strong astringency. Short aftertaste. Sake that is both refreshing and fragrant.
It's a sake from Itoigawa City, Niigata Prefecture. I think I have heard that Niigata sake is often dry...it leaves a long lingering taste in the back of the throat. It is the kind of sake that you want to savor rather than drink it quickly. I always drink it in a very quick and easy way, so today I would like to drink it slowly.
I had purchased this sake at the Pon Shukan in Niigata...I think. It is firm and thick, with a good balance of sweetness and spiciness, and the alcohol leaves through the nose.
