On this day, we had shish-kebabs.
We started with Bunkajin summer sake.
It is a popular ghost label.
As is typical of summer sake, it is best served cold.
It has a freshness and umami flavor that makes it one of the most delicious summer sakes.

Appearance] Crystal
[Taste] [Mouthfeel
Body: 1.5
Acidity: 2.5 (mainly malic acid, citrus nuances)
Sweetness: 2.0
Umami: 1.0
Bitterness: 1.0
Aftertaste: Short to medium. The sweet and sour taste quickly disappears, leaving behind a cool, refreshing feeling.
Impression: A sweet and sour modern summer sake.
The tropical fruit aroma is clearly typical of Kochi yeast, and the acidity, which is mainly malic acid, is impressive.
The aroma is loud, but somewhat unifying and tropical, and although there is no mention of yeast, I suspect AC95 (expected).
The aroma is gorgeous, but the aftertaste is light. The sweetness is subdued and cuts through quickly, making it a good match for summer seafood and citrus dishes.

I've never had such a fruity summer sake!
More fruity than white!
More fruity than oaky?
It also has a bit of a savory flavor!
I forgot to take a picture of the shrimp shinjo!
It's getting spicier and spicier! It's summer!
Fruity yet spicy! Is this new!
Is this summer? I'm sure it is 🌞.
