Ishikawa Prefecture Kakoshi Co.
KAGANOTSUKI Junmai
Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 15.5
Slightly hazy pale yellow color.
The first impression of the aroma is full-bodied
banana, bitter chocolate, caramel, yogurt
First impression on the palate is rather strong
Full-bodied sweetness, gentle acidity, mild bitterness.
Overall, the balance of the taste is mellow and delicious, but the lingering aftertaste is not too long and fades away quickly.
Although the alcohol content is 15.5 degrees, I feel a strong sense of alcohol.
It has a sharpness like when you drink Honjozo.
I would like to drink it with simmered dishes because it has a strong umami flavor.
I had a chance to drink with the master brewer several times, and I was moved to tears every time when I heard his thoughts on this sake, but I don't remember the specifics of what moved me each time (I drank too much).
I'll have to ask him again next time.
