mana
A gentle, dignified springtime black dragon that gently accompanies the budding season.
This Junmai Daiginjo is made from "Ginpu" sake rice produced in Hokkaido and carefully polished to 50%. This seasonal sake is only available at this time of year.
The aroma is subdued and calm, with fruity nuances of banana, green apple, and melon. The aroma is not overly floral, but rather elegant and quiet.
In the mouth, it is light and smooth. The sweetness is mild, and the crispness is easily felt. The mellowness is accented by a slight bitterness, and the more you drink, the more you will feel that this is a typical Kuroryu.
It is delicate, has a core, and is gentle at the same time. This sake has such an appearance.
The green color of the label reminded me of a mountain landscape in spring when new buds appear. I would like to enjoy this sake slowly with tempura of spring vegetables and white meat fish, feeling the season.
