Sotenden was once given to me as a souvenir.
It has the youthful flavor of new sake, spiciness, and sweetness.
This is delicious.
It is a real shame that they were sold out of 1 shou.
The first new sake of 2023BY. This is the second brewing after the change of toji (master brewer), and the emphasis is more on sharpness than before.
I took it out of the refrigerator an hour ago, and it was about 10 degrees Celsius.
The aroma is subtle, minty and slightly sweet.
When you drink it, there is a faint melon-like sweetness, but the spiciness of the rice is strong, and after the spiciness, the umami expands a little, and then the spiciness prevails and gradually pulls you up.
Typical Miyagi sake with umami and sharpness. However, the sharpness is not sharp, but rather gradual.
It is difficult to adjust the balance of new sake, but it has a high degree of perfection.
The flavor is more pronounced when the temperature is slightly higher. It is better to serve it at room temperature.
It goes well with fish, but it is also good with salads, stir-fries, and anything else.
Even on the fourth day after opening the bottle, the wine has not lost any of its flavor.
