Impression Gutsy and umami type
I asked for a sake with bottom to go with the oden. It has a high sake content, but there are so many other elements that it does not feel that dry, but rather sweet (laugh).
It reminds me of apricot jelly or caramel.
The rest of the time, the taste of Nara-zuke (pickles) kept on coming along in parallel.
It is delicious when drunk with a meal. The creamy taste has a high impact and expands in the mouth.
The following is a quote from the description
The aroma is of refined rice like white dumplings, and creamy dairy aroma of fresh cream.
In the mouth, a smooth and lustrous umami flavor spreads with a light and flowing acidity.
The sweetness is very elegant and pleasant, with a clear sweetness that extends well like that of Wasanbon!
It is a perfect match for dishes with fluffy and creamy sweetness such as datemaki, or boiled vegetables.
It will go well with dishes with fluffy creamy sweetness such as Datemaki, or boiled vegetables!
This is a 50% polished Yamadanishiki from Kagawa prefecture in Etsukaijin's Junmai Ginjo series.
Please enjoy the elegant flavor and drinkability of this highly polished sake.
