Watago Sake Shop @ Kameda, Konan-ku, Niigata City was pushing it on insta-live and I ran out to buy it 🚙.
They had Junmai Ginjo, but I chose this one.
The top palate is banana🍌 with some apricot-like fruitiness and a mature aroma in the back. It has a volumetric feel, but the acidity is strong and refreshing. It also has greenish herbs🍀.
It is sharp and has a strong bitterness in the aftertaste...
It's a complex taste, but the acidity holds it all together nicely and generally gives the impression of being an excellent food sake✨.
As the temperature rises, the acidity settles and the sense of maturity increases, but the freshness that coexists also increases ❔... interesting 😊.
It was a good sake that left a lasting impression👍

Good, sweet impression.
But full-bodied.
Melon-like taste 🍈.
Goes well with Japanese food (especially fish).
Between spicy and sweet.
Good alcohol feeling on the palate.
Suitable for the first drink - all the way through. 🙆♀️
