Taste 50%.
Color Almost colorless and transparent
Aroma: A common aroma for honjozo.
Taste: Hmmm. I don't think this is something to drink cold.
I bought it from a vending machine and it was chilled to a crisp, so I took it home and drank it right away, but I didn't taste any flavor or umami, probably because it was chilled.
There is no mention of it on the label, so I wonder if it is out of the standard for junmai sake.
From the rice to the yeast, all of the sake is made in Gunma.
It has a light, grain-like aroma and a refreshing taste with the flavor of rice and a hard acidity.
I drank it chilled, but it might be better served warmed. Good when you want to enjoy food as the main course.
As it was Culture Day, we enjoyed this traditional sake with Negima-ni (stewed green onions).
Despite the 90% milled rice ratio, it has a refreshing flavor with a honeyed apple aroma and a clear acidity. It is delicious both on its own and with food, and does not become boring to drink.
All Gunma Maifu Drinking Set. This time it's Tonenishiki from Nagai Honke in Numata. I've been a customer here for a long time.
The color is pale yellow. The original aroma of the rice stands out. It has a rich taste with a sense of maturity. It has the richness that is typical of pure rice, and has a relatively classic taste.
