Taste & Aroma
It has an aroma of cemedine and ethanol. In the mouth, it is slightly fruity, slightly light, and dry, with little umami, acidity, or bitterness. After a little while, the aroma settles down and becomes mild, and the spiciness becomes more pronounced. It also has a stronger acidity and a little bitterness and umami, making it a refreshing drink.
My first sake "Matsuo" Junmai Ginjo White Label.
My wife bought it on the way home. The price was ¥1,400-.
It was unusual for my wife to choose a sake with the word "dry" at the edge of the label (she didn't seem to notice it).
I took a sip and wondered what it smelled like. I took a sip.
It wasn't so much dry as it was sensibly +1 or +2. It's quite tasty, isn't it?
On the second day, I tried heating it up, but it felt better.
It's good for cold nights.
Good morning, Jay & Nobby!
I don't actively buy dry sake, but I do like it "heated" during the cold season, so I always have some sake for that purpose 😊.
First Matsuo.
It has a classical label, but it is just as beautiful and delicate as the 38% polished version. As the temperature rises, the flavor increases, but there is not much of a subtlety to the taste.
