The first cup has a moderate sweet peach and banana flavor, followed by a pungent spiciness that is well-balanced and delicious. It also has a biting and gassy taste.
On the second day, the taste became even better, and it goes well with all kinds of food, with the sweetness increasing, but still well balanced with the pungent taste.
This comet was recommended to me at the store where I purchased Morishima. I was very satisfied with the clear and fresh sake. There are so many good sake.
It has a deliciously fresh and sweet taste of nama-zake.
But it is still crisp and easy to drink.
I remember that it went well with scallop sashimi. It also went well with the small fish almonds I picked up after dinner.
I love sake like this that casually and unobtrusively states on the back label that it is "unfiltered, unpasteurized sake" or other true specs! I love the taciturn mischievousness of the front label, which doesn't advertise unfiltered raw sake. No wonder it is so rich and heavy on the palate. I should be a smart sake drinker who can tell just by drinking it, and not be fooled by the label on the front!

This was a fairly average tasting junmai ginjo.
Conversely, it was a typical beautiful sake, and I didn't really feel anything unique about it...I wanted a little more impact. I would have liked a little more impact. I don't know what to say to a top-class brewery in Ibaraki Prefecture, though.
Sorry for those who like Morishima.
