It has a very fresh aroma and is refreshing to drink. Well balanced. The store where I bought it commented that it was melon-like, but I thought it was more like apple. It is delicious.
I drank this sake when I visited a facility in Kawaba Village, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, and brought it home in a four-part bottle that I could not finish.
The next day I enjoyed it at home.
I have drunk Tanigawadake several times before, and I like it because it is refreshing. I wondered about the 60% rice polishing ratio for a ginjo, but it is amazing that junmai can produce this flavor.
I would like to visit the brewery and drink a bottle next time.
Since the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, we are going to open some spring sakes soon.
We will start with the stable of Gunma sake!
When the bottle is opened and poured, the aroma is crisp and fruity, with hints of muscat and green apple.
The mouthfeel is clean and fresh, as if it were THE Gunma sake, THE Tanigawadake.
However, the crispness is subdued, with a soft touch of sweetness. The taste is both cool and gentle, and is similar to that of a peach or a king apple!
The full flavor of rice spreads behind it. And it is easy to drink, disappearing clearly.
The balance of the two spring sakes in the Tanigawadake series is unbearable ✨.
The Maikaze series will be released later this month, so I'm looking forward to it even more...!
I think I'll start planning my trip to Gunma this year soon!
