Snow Storage Daiginjo
A senior colleague of mine gave me a bottle of a sake he's been into lately to try.
As the description says, the tank was buried in the snow to mellow the flavor, the ginjo aroma is subdued and the taste is mild with strong acidity.
On the second day, the acidity settled down and it became even mellower.
First Akita sake in a long time!
It is said to have a mild taste due to slow maturation in the snow.
It certainly has a mild taste and goes well with sashimi!
This is a daiginjo "stored in snow" from Kitashika in Odate City, Akita Prefecture.
It is a delicious, mellow, easy-drinking daiginjo-shu that has been matured in a tank buried in snow.
The end of the raging Shinsei-san series
Next up, the Akita sake parade!
The owner served this!
The owner left early this evening, so the second owner served this again later, so I took another picture!
It was a refreshing and delicious sake!
When I left, I forgot my onigiri (rice ball) at the end of the meal!
Too bad 😢!
