I bought a bottle of "Nikko Homare Junmai Ginjo Unfiltered Nama Sake Omachi 55% Limited Sake" at Watanabe Sahei Shoten, a sake brewery located across from the roadside station in Imaichi, Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture. The 7th president of the brewery, who was in the store, told me that this was the most fragrant sake he had ever tasted, so I decided on this one.
First day after opening the bottle: Ginjo aroma and a bitter taste.
The second day after opening the bottle: I felt the fruity aroma like apple and the umami of rice, and there was a slight numbing sensation on the tongue, and when I realized it, I found it to be a very nice sake.
You can enjoy the #changes in taste.
Personal classification: Kaoru Sake
Yumesasara 55%. Fruity, maybe banana. Sweet and tasty, with a slight bitterness and a long enough aftertaste. Delicious! I think it is good as a draft sake!
Glossy yellowish clear, with aromas of cooked rice, soy sauce, pear, and honeysuckle. The attack is rather strong, with a firm acidity and a rather long finish.
The 8th bottle of loot opened was a local Nikko Honor.
It has been a long time since my trip to Kyushu.
I am drinking it cool, feeling the water of Nikko.
