Today's second bottle is a bottle of Umezu's Namikawashiroshi, which I have opened.
I want to try Umezu's sake, but I am not sure if I can drink it well at home 🤔.

There is a white label with 80% polished rice and a black label with 60% polished rice.
I started with it at room temperature.
The aroma is quite peculiar, with an old rice type aroma.
The first sip tastes like Shaoxing sake with caramel aroma and deep flavor. The alcohol content is more than 20%, and the sip has an impact that makes your body tense up.
When heated to a hot temperature, the old-fragrance-like aroma subsides, and the sweet, dark caramel aroma and rich, mellow flavor are enhanced.
However, it should be watered down. If you drink it with wari-water, you can drink it calmly ^^;.
Tamasakura and Umezu were both delicious ^ ^ ^.
Inoue Sake Brewery, I will bring my backpack next time.
Aroma like cane sugar. The taste is sticky and tangy from the aging process. The strong alcohol content has a strong impact on the aroma, which passes through the nose without sticking to the tongue, and has a nice aftertaste. I am glad I went to Umezu Shuzo.
This sake came out at the request of the customer for a strong heated sake.
It looks like a white sake, but tastes much more like a dry Shaoxing sake.
In other words, it is less sweet, full-bodied, and smoky.
Personally, I am familiar with the taste.
Incidentally, the alcohol content was watered down from 21% to 13% at the store.
I wonder what it would taste like if it were not watered down and heated.

Bought at a shop that specialises in “natural” wines. Very strong flavour, quite unusual, more like a vin jaune or a Sherry than sake. Expensive (€32?) but a very nice treat and worth buying again.
Alcohol: 20%
