KUROZAEMON "Betsuatsurae Gazanryu Junmai Ginjo Momiji
Rating 4.4
Rice: Omachi (Okayama Prefecture), 60% polishing ratio, yeast: New Yamagata Yeast, ALC: 14
Omachi Junmai Ginjo brewed with new Yamagata yeast. It has the freshness and gorgeous aroma that the Gayama style aims for. The original flavor of Omachi rice becomes rich in flavor, and the autumn aging process gives it a more subdued and opulent taste. The umami flavor is a little bit sticky on the nose. Maybe it is due to the timing of drinking...
Also at a bar in Shinbashi.
Tight and slightly fruity rice aroma.
Sharp, light and dry, typical of junmai sake.
Surprisingly smooth, with a sweet aftertaste.
Refreshing aroma
Little sweetness and acidity
Little alcohol
Refreshing aftertaste
The label is some kind of sheet music.
Interesting!
I heard you can actually play it.
Very light nose. Flavor is very soft and smooth. Notes of reeds, grass, straw, and lychee. Finish is soft and mild. A very delicate and tasty drink, and one best had by itself unless food was mild.
My daughter came to visit me for a 3-day weekend, so I brought home a bottle of Shindo Shuzo's Gazanryu Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama at my favorite liquor store in Mizonokuchi. I am looking forward to drinking it with my daughter.
