Surprisingly rare image
Probably the last summer sake of 2024...
Cold sake
Rumney-like aroma
Tight acidity and umami.
Refreshingly sharp from the mid-palate to the finish.
The aftertaste is short.
Ki Light!
Sei Fruity, a little tropical
Tumble: mild, no pungency, no silliness
Conclusion: A little sake-like, super-aged?
No, I don't think it's 1 liter 1kg, I think it's light, like oil!
I'd rather drink this than a Red Bull and grow wings!
Not that it tastes light, but it's satisfying.
The label is sparkling and beautiful. It reminds me of a picture book I read when I was a child called "The Rainbow Fish".
The aroma is of rum and some grapes? I thought it was not sweet, but maybe it is sweet?
I thought it was not sweet, but when I took a sip, I found that it was not simply sweet. It has sourness, richness, and the sweetness of the rice is concentrated. The mouthfeel is full of a sense of transparency.
Even after opening the bottle, it remains stable. It is smooth and smooth to drink, and while it is a strain with acidity and rice flavor, it has a clear mouthfeel that goes well with Japanese food. Delicious.
It has a soft sweetness and umami flavor with a refreshing finish, and is a delicious sake that keeps you coming back for more.
I used to see this sake as a consecrated sake at work. On a recent business trip to Aomori, I bought this one instead of Tasake. I drank it with dried firefly squid from Noto and it was good. I think it has a strong habit as a sake, but as you drink it, it literally becomes addictive. It is dry, but has a mild aftertaste.
Mild fragrance✨
Fruity and soft 🎵
Light and acidity spreads 😋.
Good aftertaste and easy to drink 🍶.
Derived from the Tohoku accent of "n" ⏩️ "nmei", which means "good".
