It was classified as dry, but was recommended to me as being easy to drink with a watermelon and cucumber taste.
The smell was fruity, but the taste was suddenly simple and umami, with a sour and dry aftertaste, making it a strange sake.
Next up was Yuruaru, a low-alcohol, dry sake that is easy to enjoy.
When I paired it with pork stew, the sake didn't get in the way and it was a great match.
Rice polishing ratio 65
Alcohol content 13%.
Purchased at Yamanaka Sake Shop in Daikoku-cho on a business trip to Osaka
Purchased it after asking "Do you have any Kansai sake that is a little sweet and tasty?
It doesn't feel too cold even though the temperature is well chilled, and the taste fits so well in the mouth that you don't even feel it for a moment. An unexpected and interesting sensation. The acidity and astringent umami spread gradually in the aftertaste, with a hint of sweetness.
Is it close to what is called "light and dry"?
This type of sake is rarely encountered, but I think it is definitely good as a food sake.
Sake rice: 75% Ginbukiyo (Kake rice)
Yamada-Nishiki 25% (Koji rice, Sake mother rice)
Rice polishing ratio: 60% Ginbukietsu, 50% Yamadanishiki
Alcohol content: 16 degrees Celsius
Since it is 17 degrees, it might have had a more robust flavor, more like iburigakko or boiled fish.
Despite the clear color, it was firmly sake dry 🍶.
