2024 Spring Evening - Tasting New Sake] 15
Imperial Fine Sake Brewery, Mizunara Barrel Aged Finish Daiginjo-Harazake
I would have liked to have this in a more memorable state. I'm sure it would have had a rich finish😅.
Rice polishing ratio 40%, 16%.
Rich aroma, clean mouthfeel, sweetness gradually coming afterwards, and a slight alcohol taste at the end. It can be served as it is or with snacks.
The balance between the flamboyance of daiginjo and the refreshing sensation brought about by the brewer's alcohol is exquisite.
The sense of sharp sweetness disappearing without a lingering aftertaste is wonderful, and it is a delicious and dangerous sake that can be drunk easily.
The second item in the Kuraberu series ⭐︎.
The sake brewery is ummm... can't read it with my knowledge 💦 It's written "Koukoku Hare", Mikuni Hare! I'm learning lol.
The sweetness of the rice is softly felt and the sharpness is not that great, but is it dry? I enjoyed it so much, I'd consider buying it again!
As is typical of Junmai Ginjo, it has a clean and crisp taste. The aftertaste is also refreshing as it flows down the throat smoothly. It has a taste that perfectly matches the image on the label.
