Unusual varieties
Junmai sake [Wa-no-jun)
Liqueur [Jokon)
Junmai sake "Wa-no-jun" is frozen in a special freezer to separate the water and alcohol content.
The alcohol content is close to 40%.
The production process is almost the same as that of sake, but legally, it cannot be labeled as sake, and must be labeled as a liqueur.
As a whisky drinker who enjoys whisky straight or on the rocks, I found it to have a familiar taste.
I had the good fortune to meet the person who designed the "special freezer," and he recommended that I buy two bottles.
Wa no mellow
It has the acidity and pleasant spiciness typical of junmai sake, and you can fully enjoy the flavor of the rice. I have been drinking fruity sake with high rice polishing recently, so I was very pleased with the taste of junmai sake I have not had for a long time.
Sake brewing
Simply put, it has the aroma and taste of aged sake with a high alcohol content.
It seems to be aged in a jar, but for a short period of time. However, it has the same aroma and taste as the decades-old matured sake I drank before. The alcohol taste is surprising, and at the same time, the sweetness of the matured sake is also felt. I think it is delicious on the rocks or mixed with soda water or fruit juice.
