yosi
Polishing ratio, 60% koji rice, 70% kake rice, honjozo sake.
It is an unfiltered honjozo nama-zume sake brewed with Fukushima Prefecture's "Yume-no-Kou" rice.
This new unpasteurized type is bottled in a condition that allows the sake to open up to the air, so it is ready to drink right after opening the bottle.
When poured into a glass, it has a citrusy aroma similar to grapefruit and lime. The first impression is a beautiful sweetness, matched by a sharpness from the acidity and bitterness. I don't sense any effervescence, but there is a refreshing freshness.
I basically prefer junmai, but this sake is quite tasty even when served with aruzome. Weird stereotypes are forbidden...sweat!
My favorite degree (self-assessment)
★★★★★★★★☆☆☆
