It starts with a mild sweetness that slowly shifts to umami as it spreads.
A slightly sour lactic acidity envelops the whole wine, changing to a beautiful acidity and ending in a sharp finish.
It is melon-like, but the melon flavor is not so strong.

The sake I've been saving for a long time
I finally ran out of space in the fridge, so I opened the package!
Maybe it has matured at home.
I wonder if it has mellowed.
Junmai Ginjo of Niida Nature Sake.
Chilled.
Slightly light sweet aroma of rice. Still delicious, with a gentle sweetness and rich umami that permeates the taste buds. It is more beautiful than junmai genjo-shu, with a moderate sense of maturity and sweetness.
At room temperature, the full-bodied sweetness and a slight sense of maturity come out. I prefer it chilled, but it will be different when it is cold.
It is brewed with the image of a melon, and the "3.33" comes from the "3" in the three-stage brewing process and the fact that the rice used for the fourth stage of brewing is 1/3 (0.33) of the normal amount.
It has a gassy, fresh, fruity sweetness and acidity.
Ingredients: rice (domestic), rice malt (domestic)
Rice polishing ratio: 60
Alcohol content: 15
The ginjo aroma is like melon.
In the mouth, it has a sweetness like a ripe banana and a sourness in the latter half, without much melon.
I had not bought it before and had never drunk it, but on my way home I saw it at Omiya station and bought it because it was cheap. It was amber in color with a caramel-like flavor and a good taste of rice. Next time, I would like to drink nigori.
