Takaraiya Omachi Junmai Ginjo Namahashime is brewed with Omachi sake produced in Okayama Prefecture.
It has the full-bodied flavor and softness of Omachi, and the individuality of the rice is beautifully brought out in this bottle.
The aroma is gentle and calm, and in the mouth, the fresh fruity acidity and firm rice sweetness spread out in layers.
While the taste is structured, the acidity, typical of a sake brewed using the traditional sake yeast, brings it all together nicely, making it a very drinkable yet well-balanced sake.
I happened to come across a bottle made with Omachi at the department store "Tokiwa" in Oita and was able to pick it up.
It has a deep flavor with a slight old sake feel.
It is not too heavy, and is a sake to be drunk while savoring it carefully.
Accompanied by jerk chicken (no picture)
Purchased locally at a sake brewery.
There was no mention of the sake rice, which should have been Gohyakumangoku.
It is a complex type of Junmai Ginjo made from Gohyakumangoku. Delicious.
Although it is said to be dry, the base has a rich sweetness from the rice, and the sake has a flavor typical of Oita, which I thought was a little sweet and refreshing.
I should have bought a four-pack because it was so good.
