First "Shimehari-zuru" at
At the sake guard station of Ponshu-kan in Echigo Yuzawa.
I only had a sip,
The elegant aroma and refreshing taste were irresistible.
I still wanted to drink more,
At Ponshu-kan's sake bar,
I enjoyed 7 kinds of sake.
The service was typical of a sake-producing region,
It was very enjoyable.
I would like to go back again.
It is high in alcohol content and has a fairly voluminous and robust flavor. The aftertaste is cut by acidity and astringency. As stated on the back label, it can be drunk on the rocks.
As stated, the cooler it is, the better it tastes.
At room temperature, it has a stimulating encore. When chilled, it is crisp, light and has a clean aftertaste, but the sweetness of the rice, which is typical of nama-zake, is subtracted.
Junmai Ginjo-shu has a gentle aroma and the deliciousness of the rice is alive. It is full and mild. The taste is light and fine.
It's a very typical Japanese sake. Delicious...I want to drink more and taste more.
