I was a little prepared for this sake, as it was a raw sake that had been aged for six years in the brewery, but it was unexpectedly beautiful.
The aroma is soft and reserved without a hint of maturity, and it has a slightly sweet, elegant junmai ginjo-style flavor that has lost some of its edge after more than one summer.
The acidity is also moderate, leaving a moderate bitterness in the aftertaste.
Even when heated, the impression remains the same: a gentle sake.
I would have liked a little more acidity and richness, but it is not light, and the flavor gradually broadens after opening the mouth.
