My favorite Nabeshima Purple, purchased in a bottle. It is a Junmai Ginjo with a tangy taste, the rice flavor of Yamadanishiki, and a hint of Ginjo aroma, with a pleasant aftertaste. I think I'll open a bottle.
Clear and sour aroma.
When you put it in your mouth, there is a sour taste at first, and then a full-bodied sweet taste spreads.
After the sweetness fades, there is a citrus bitterness on the upper side of the mouth and a pungent taste on the tongue.
There is not much gasiness.
A clear and dry sake.
On the second day, the taste is a little stronger and the gassiness seems to be more pronounced than on the first day.
It is now more of a sweet sake.
Fresh, sweet and fruity aroma.
The refreshing sweetness and acidity are followed by a moderate bitterness and umami.
It is well-balanced and free of any unpleasant flavors.
It has a firm taste but a clean aftertaste.
4.5/5
Nabeshima was delicious to drink at the restaurant.
The freshness that is typical of nama-shu stands out, and the sweetness of the rice, which is unique to special junmai, can be felt well.
It has a rich umami flavor, yet is fruity and drinkable.
It has a good balance of floral and richness.
Repeat rate: 80

It is a delicious sweet sake.
The slight fizzy feeling is also nice.
You can't stop drinking this one.
It's a bad sake.
Nabe-sama is delicious after all.
Thank you for the food and drink.
It has a gorgeous aroma, mellow flavor, and even a hint of effervescence, and tastes like a daiginjo even though it is a honjozo. It is a very cosy sake.
