かっしー
I happened to come across this sake when I visited Fukuhara Sake Shop. It is a "illegitimate" sake under a different brand name of Shuho Shuzo, and is a rare sake with a very limited number of distributors. The specs are undisclosed, but it is said to be more polished than Junmai Daiginjo.
The aroma is elegant and sweet like a good Junmai Daiginjo. The elegant aroma rushes through the mouth at first, but it quickly fades away as the sake finishes. Instead, the koji aroma lingers in the mouth as a pleasant aftertaste, which also fades away quickly.
It is rare to find a sake that is this elegant and has both a pleasant lingering aftertaste and a good sharpness, and this is a "hole-in-the-wall" sake that has not yet been fully discovered. This is too cheap at 1,650 yen.
