🍶Tasteful yet crisp mid-meal sake
The theme is mellow dryness.
🍶Great dryness and refreshing acidity required for a mid-meal drink
🍶Rich flavor typical of junmai sake
That's right.
That's right.
I like it.
It's a nama-shu, but the aroma is not that great.
It does not have a ginjo aroma, but the aroma of rice is okay.
The full-bodied flavor is strong, quite dry, and the taste of rice is also there. The rice flavor is also there.
But it is easy to drink.
I took a sip with trepidation, wondering what kind of sake it would be with a 91% rice polishing ratio. ...Delicious! The umami and fullness of the rice lingers in the aftertaste.
Sake made with pesticide-free rice from Nishi-Minowa.
The rice polishing ratio is a confident 91%! Although the rice is barely milled, it has a delicious rice flavor and aroma rather than a bran smell. If you are a little off, it might taste too rich and undrinkable, but it is so good that you can keep drinking it. It is not a sake to be drunk smoothly, but to be savored.
Tonight we are having a drink in Ginza, near Shinbashi.
We arrived in Shinbashi early, so we went to the first meeting and had a drink.
I was curious about Shinshu Osakemura.
It has a richness that comes with a thud, an acidity and a dry sharpness, and a flavor that seems to have a hint of savory and matured taste.
