Amami Shinshu Junmai Ginjyo Nigori Nama Yuki Ten
Rating 4.4
15% alcohol by volume (undiluted), Yamadanishiki rice, 60% polishing ratio, No. 901 yeast
This sake combines the natural umami and subtle sweetness of moromi sake with the fine gassiness typical of Amami and accented by a refreshing acidity. The gorgeous sweetness spreads on the palate, and the mouthfeel is crisp.
The initial aroma is of muscat, with some berry notes.
The nigoromi (cloudy) taste is mellow, but the acidity is effective and refreshing. Silky mouthfeel. Slightly sharp. Dry aftertaste.
