Slightly green apple-like aroma on the top.
The same fruity but subdued aroma as the first saké, the soft umami and sweetness of the rice spread gradually with a beautiful acidity, and the slight bitterness and spiciness of the alcohol make the saké finish quickly and smoothly.
It has a good balance of sweetness, umami, and spiciness, and goes well with meals, but is also delicious on its own.
It went well with dinner at Marukoma Onsen Ryokan on Lake Shikotsu, where I visited with my parents-in-law in Nagasaki.
On the way back from climbing Mt. Adatara, I stopped by the store and bought this sake. Although it is a 17% sake, it does not have a strong, guttural taste, but rather a soft, mellow flavor that is typical of hiyaoroshi sake.
Adatara Ginjo, a gift from Whinny's. Welcome from Whinny's.
I think it's one of the best super-sake with a gorgeous ginjo aroma.
Any sake you get as a gift is good sake.
Cold. With sushi. Refreshing fruity aroma. It has a solid sake feel, strong alcohol, but you can taste the sweetness of the rice and it has a robust flavor. It seems to go well with a variety of meals.
