At Sakékorea Akiva
Buried in the fridge? Shikizakura Junmai Ginjo It had been 5 months since I opened the bottle because there were too many first time sakes to drink. To be honest, some of them were a little different from my taste. I found it to be a slightly dry and mellow type of sake. It still had a refreshing taste with a good acidity. This sake tasted good enough, but I bought too many sake that I was interested in at the Hananoka Sake Brewery's festival. 😅
