It was easier to drink than the sake meter, which reads +14. I enjoyed the slow mellowness of the sake as it slowly mellowed from cold to room temperature after a day of drinking.
Sake meter / +14
Acidity/1.9
It has been a long time since I have encountered a tasty sake. It is crisp and dry. However, you can enjoy the full flavor. It is a mysterious sake. Of course, it is a food sake. It is a perfect accompaniment to light-flavored dishes rather than meat or oily dishes.
A souvenir from a trip to Lake Biwa. Purchased at a local supermarket.
It is full-bodied, but has a refreshingly sour and sweet taste.
I drank it cold, but I heard it is also good heated.
Characteristics: This sake is made using the Edo period (1603-1867) "tomizujikomi" brewing method, in which only a small amount of water is used to brew the sake, and is characterized by its dense yet refreshing and intense flavor.
Origin of the name: The exclamation mark "! in Japanese is read as "Amedare," which refers to the miraculous harvest of sake rice and the surprise at the delicious taste produced by the tojumizu-jikomi brewing method.
