Although this sake is easy to drink, the richness and umami of Yamada-Nishiki makes the sweetness of the rice more and more apparent as you drink larger quantities. It can be served moderately chilled to enjoy its gorgeous aroma, or at room temperature to enjoy its sweeter aroma.
Tonight is "Abukuma" 🍶.
I wasn't planning to take you this time...
When we went to the liquor store, the fridge was lonely, probably due to the Obon holiday 😩.
And they have mainly sake bottles and not so many Yong bottles 🤣.
After pondering what to do 💦, I decided to go with Junmai Ginjo regardless of the brand 😅.
The aroma is mature, but the flavor is slightly fruity and the mouthfeel is refreshing and easy to drink 😍.
We enjoyed it very much!
8.2
Almost no top notes. Slightly alcoholic, skiffy aroma derived from rice.
The texture is soft and smooth, with a slightly sticky sweetness. After that, there is a strong bitterness and a slight acidity. The sticky sweetness and nutty flavor remain on the palate until the end.
The ginjo aroma is gentle yet gorgeous.
The soft mouthfeel is followed by a rich rice flavor and rounded sweetness, with a lingering acidity that finishes crisp and clean.
