A good sake to drink chilled in the summer.
It is strong at 17%, but you don't feel it. It is umakuchi type.
But the aftertaste is dry with a sour taste. Slightly tingling on the tongue.
Fresh on the nose with a hint of rice umami. Smoooooooth on the tongue with a bit of a tangy aftertaste (in a good way).
Had as part of a Toyama sake tasting in Bar de Mitomi.
I purchased this sake from a sake store in Toyama City, which is very hard to find outside of the prefecture. It is said to be the second smallest brewery in Toyama (Tachiiyama is the largest) 🧐.
It has a mildly sweet, candy-like aroma. After the honey-like sweetness, the aroma is crisp and elegant on the nose ✨It has a light matured feel.
And although the alcohol is strong at 18 degrees, it has a mellow rice flavor that I would describe as rice juice 🌾.
(It is a sake that is the ultimate in junmai sake (not ginjo), and for the first time in a long time, the phrase "raw sake" came to mind 🤔.
I originally had the impression that this sake was isolated, but I felt that this sake also has a beauty that sets it apart from the others 😌.
I think the label also expresses this...
