It was given to me as a souvenir. A cup of Manotsuru sake. It is a real sake that does not look like a cute little egret. It is a sake full of rice flavor. Are there many brands named "Tsuru"?
Tonight in Niigata. Sado Island.
We are having Tempura as well as Sushi at Benkei's affiliate restaurant.
We started with a Sake from Sado Island.
It is a honjozo sake, but it has a nice mild taste in the mouth.
Manotsuru Dry Junmai Sake
Sake rice: Gohyakumangoku, Rice polishing ratio: 60
Sake degree: +14-16, Acidity: 1.1-1.3, AL degree: 15
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
At +15, this sake is quite dry, but the softness of the rice gives it a refreshing finish, and it is not as dry as one might think.
It has a sharp mouthfeel and a unique character that can be felt in the throat. The taste, which goes beyond the framework of super-dry, spreads slowly with snacks.
Manotsuru after a long time!
The aroma is clean.
Smooth on the palate, with a refreshing acidity and a dry but deep rice flavor!
There may be a slight rummy taste!
