This is a famous sake of yesteryear, although it is not heard of much these days.
When I hear this name, I salivate from the bottom of my mouth.
It is still delicious!
Echino Kanme the other day.
I was very much mistaken.
I was under the impression that the classic Echino Kanme was a sake for old-fashioned Showa-era men, if I may be so bold.
However!
It's just plain delicious! What a well-balanced and complete sake. (I served it well chilled (not recommended). It is light and dry, but there is no alcoholiness, and it is nicely balanced.
Sake rice is Gohyakumangoku and others, rice polishing ratio 55%, alcohol 16%, sake degree +8
I was really surprised, if I may be so blunt.
I felt the depth and depth of the layers of sake, not just the modern, fruity new wave.
