A gift from Aoki Sake Brewery, No. 2.
I often don't feel so much dryness when I drink sake, but this one feels crisp, though it may depend on the food with which it is served. It is too hot to drink, but I am afraid I can't stop drinking it.
This is a summer sake with a touch of acidity. The sharpness may be due to the high alcohol content. I paired it with hamo (conger eel) shabu-shabu, the main dish this time. Sake is great with hamo (pike conger). This sake is made with 100% Miyamanishiki, 60% polished rice, and 17% alcohol by volume.
Junmai Super Dry Miyamanishiki
It's called "super dry" but it wasn't really dry from the first sip. Nor was it light.
The fruity aroma spread on the palate and was mellow, but the aftertaste was somewhat sharp.
