Slightly yellowish and clear, with aromas of yogurt, cooked rice, pear, and honeysuckle. The attack is rather weak, with mild acidity and a mild sweetness, and a rather long finish.
◎This sake is from Takehara City, Hiroshima Prefecture. We had it chilled, and as it is the restaurant's No. 1 recommendation, it was a sake with no quirks, giving the impression that it could be served with any dish.
I bought this for a quick drink while on a business trip to Hiroshima. It was smooth, watery, and had no peculiar taste at all. I guess this is the reason why Maboroshi is called "Maboroshi.
Hiroshima Prefecture Nakao Jozo Gen Junmai Ginjo
Simple and deep flavor brewed with Hiroshima's sake rice Hachitan-Nishiki
Served with my favorite "Aji no Mentaiko" from Fukuya 😊.
It was one of the recommended bottles at a local liquor store, so I bought it for the first time.
It has a good balance of sourness and sweetness in the mouth. It is not too sweet and does not leave a bitter aftertaste, so it goes well with a meal or a light entrée. It is a delicious sake that I would like to drink on a daily basis. It is a good sake to drink with oysters, but unfortunately it was not possible due to our budget. Looking at the map of Japan, it was the first flag in Hiroshima. It makes me want to conquer Japan!
