I found a small 300ml bottle at a nearby liquor store, so I bought it. It's a special junmai-shu called "Toyoupai" made from "Toyoupai rice", a rice suitable for sake brewing that is only used by Miura Shuzo. I had it at a chilled temperature, and it seemed to me to be a typical mellow sake. It is not that fragrant and you can hardly feel the sweetness. In addition to a bit of pungency, the bitterness was strong, so I'm not a big fan of it... The aftertaste was like a mixture of alcohol and bitterness. I thought it could be used as a wash when paired with something with a strong flavor. I wonder if it would have a different face if it was heated...
