A local sake I encountered on my travels. It is a sake with a strong flavor, sweetness, and depth, with a lightness and gorgeousness of brewer's alcohol.
Polishing rice 70%.
Sake from Shimane, and cheap, so I bought it on impulse. I bought it on impulse at Tokyu Food Show in Shibuya.
The aroma is a little bit sweet, but the flavor is strong.
It has a strong umami flavor. The acidity is a bit strong on the palate. The aftertaste is quite long!
Not too pungent, but not sweet either. It has an interesting taste!
Maybe it's a food sake. It's not too much of a distraction, but it's nice.
In the cold state, the aroma and mouthfeel have a slight spike of alcohol, but it is not so unpleasant, and the sweetness soon arrives. If anything, it has a unique sweetness and flavor similar to that of old sake.
When the sake is cooled down to about chilled temperature, the alcohol content is removed, and the unique sweetness, thickening, and faint koji (malted rice) taste that is similar to that of old sake are more and more noticeable.
