酒呑ノ鳥居
A special label of Junmai Daiginjo brewed by Niigata Prefecture's Hozan Shuzo, made from 100% polished edible rice!
50% 🌾 (100% Koshihikari rice produced in Niigata Prefecture)
The aroma is so clear and interesting that it is hard to believe that no sake brewing rice was used; the fact that it was made on 22/12 gives a very favorable impression of a near-new sake.
The freshness is almost too intense, reminiscent of young, blue fruits. The fizziness is slightly perceptible. The freshness is evident.
Yet it has a unique aftertaste. Perhaps because it is made from edible rice, it is characterized by a high amino acid content and a lingering aftertaste that could be taken to be a cloying taste. By the way, I like it.
It is an interesting thing about sake to be able to encounter the freshness that only limited editions can offer...haha, I like it.
