The label is pink with cranes and very beautiful. The taste is crisp and dry in the mouth, but as it warms up in the mouth a little, a very nice aroma comes through to the nose, as expected of a junmai daiginjo.
It is brewed with Gohyakumangoku rice grown in-house to preserve the landscape of terraced rice paddies for the future. I am not an expert on rice, but I have encountered many cases of Niigata & Ihyakumangoku, and I personally think they go well together. I learned for the first time today that "Domaine" is a wine term that refers to the entire process from cultivation to daily bottling. We received a bottle that was filled with the love of its creator.
The thickening of the rice does not give it much of a sake-like feel. Since it was summer, I drank it on the rocks, but the aroma that passed through my nose and the feeling of rice on my tongue were still sake. It is not bad to drink strong sake on the rocks. A chaser is necessary to prevent overdrinking.
I received this from a colleague who went to Niigata on a business trip!
I imagined it to be light and dry,
The initial attack was sweet and rich.
It has a rich and robust flavor.
It is nice to meet new people.
At our usual restaurant for tsukoyaki. We were lucky to have it as a tasting since there was only a little bit left in the bottle.
It was an interesting white wine with a fading taste, as is typical of the Domaine.
