Mutsukake Nama-zake
Shogen
Chilled sake in a chilled glass, good with sashimi and such.
Strong flavor
Dry taste
Sweetness on the tongue.
After swallowing, you can feel the taste in your mouth.
It is quite sharp.
We had it at an izakaya (Japanese-style bar).
It is said that the rice polishing ratio is 80%, but it is easy to drink without any unpleasant taste or graininess.
It is easy to drink.
It is a beautiful sake.
Tonight's accompaniment is a bottle of this one, which has a stylish but hard to read label. It is a summer sake, but it is cold season. When I opened the bottle, I was surprised to find a gorgeous ginjo aroma. It has a nice aroma. In the mouth, a delicate cotton candy-like sweetness spreads over the palate, balanced by a tartness and bitterness that seem to hide in plain sight. Delicious. Including the tangy sensation of the bubbles on the tip of the tongue, it is truly a summer sake (lol).
When paired with a salad dressed with homemade ume vinegar, yukari and mayonnaise, the sweetness is enhanced and it is absolutely delicious. Roasted yam with miso mayo and yuzu juice makes the sake fruity. It's good too. The oil from the wok-fried raw kikurage mushrooms and egg also flows nicely. There is no reason why the miso in the Spanish Mackerel Rikyuyaki does not go well with sake. It is delicious.
It was a wonderful sake that is good both as it is and with a meal!

The label is a sefirot tree (creation), a reference to sake brewing?
The eighth sphere in this figure represents Eikoh, symbolizing mercury and orange, and it matches the color of the label.
