X, meaning excellent, is the highest peak of the series.
It has a 35-45% rice polishing ratio and is made using a wooden vat in addition to the traditional sake yeast.
The aroma is characterized by a moderate ginjo aroma, sweetness and umami, and a strong acidity. Nuances of lactic acid bacteria.
Distinctive flavor different from the others, but with a slightly acidic sensation.
I drank it with Ash. It was sweet and sour with a slight tanginess, which was also easy to drink. The aroma of the wooden vat was also subtle. The problem was that it was still too easy to drink and disappeared very quickly.
Shinsei Ash, which I saved for the New Year's holiday. It was sweet and sour, and the mellowness was on another level. No wonder it is so popular. The problem was that it was too easy to drink and ran out so quickly.
Nice to meet you for the second time.
This is the original sake that got me hooked on sake after drinking this.
You can feel a slight alcohol taste, but it quickly disappears. I've had more than 100 sake from here...of course it's delicious, but I raised my expectations too high!
We wish you a happy new year 😃.
Colors comparison!
The aroma is mild and the acidity is lower than No.6. It has a fresh and slightly effervescent taste, probably because it was just opened. The aroma spreads as soon as you put it in your mouth, but there is no unpleasant aftertaste!
