Shunshin Wooden tank first pressing Junmai-shu

A bottle given to me by a friend.
I had an image of Shunshin as having a strong acidity, but it has a slightly sweet taste on the palate with a lingering aftertaste. Delicious.
Alcohol 15%.

It was sweet and sour when I drank it before, but this is also sweet and sour. I wouldn't call it a white wine, but it is totally different from the spicy image of sake.
It seems difficult to know what to pair it with, but I think it is an interesting bottle.
You may be surprised because it is the complete opposite of the image of Ishikawa sake.

Transparent with a yellowish tinge. The aroma is sweet and full, reminiscent of golden sugar. The aroma is weak. The mouthfeel is mild. It is soon filled with a firm astringency and umami. The overtone is also like golden sugar. It has a long aftertaste. It is a mellow sake that lives up to its appearance and product description.
Therefore, when it was immediately warmed up, the characteristics of when it was cold were emphasized, the aroma was strong, the astringency and umami were strong, and the acidity was perfectly good. ❤️
This time it is a R4BY of Shunshin's yeast-free, pure yeast-stocked, pure rice x Koshihikari-brewed sake.
I brought this sake back from a recent visit to Takashimaya in Namba for a tasting to meet the toji-san.
It has a golden hue.
The nose has a strong acidity with aromas of savory grains and soy sauce, and a sweetness that reminds us of dried fruits and barrels.
First, it is served at room temperature.
The taste is a bit thick and smooth, with a strong lemon-like acidity that is covered by a rich grain-like broth-like umami and concentrated sweetness like dried fruit. Ah, a unique yet beautiful taste.
Surprisingly, it has something in common with Ine Mangaka 🤔.
The sweet and sour taste that stands out when it is warmed up and the dashi-like flavor is irresistible, yummy!
It feels as if you are drinking Japanese hot wine and the aftertaste is very pleasant.
The citrusy acidity and the full rice flavor that wraps around the acidity are unique and delicious.
This is the sake that bouken-san told me I would like. He was right.
Good evening, Hirupeko 😃.
I was reading your taste review and I was totally drawn into the world😊Japanese hot wine🤤I want to feel its comfort 😋.
You are a quintessential bouken 👍.
Hi Jay & Nobby. It's a pretty sour sake, but the way it's wrapped up with a lot of brothiness is indescribable. I would definitely recommend this sake with warmed sake 😊.
