I couldn't help but buy it when I saw the rock-tastic, high-impact label!
The aroma is just a little fruity, the taste is like a sweet white wine and tangy on the tongue.
The aftertaste is both sweet and bitter.
The sweetness is a bit strong, but it is refreshing and easy to drink.
Personal Satisfaction: ★★☆☆☆☆
Umakuchi Junmai Ginjo with Gold Leaf
Junmai Ginjo-shu made with Yamagata Prefecture's Tamanao (Yamashu No. 4) rice suitable for sake brewing, with a luxurious gold leaf.
It has an elegant ginjo aroma from M310 yeast and a slightly sweet, umami flavor.
It is quite dry, with a sake meter of +14, but it does not feel that dry and has a sweet taste. This may be due to the lack of acidity and bitterness. The aftertaste is quite refreshing. The fruity aroma is subdued, and there is a slight sake smell. Not bad, but maybe not to my taste.
