This is the first Nabeshima in a while. I bought a junmai ginjyo brewed with kitashizuku rice, which I had a good impression of before. Mild and nice aroma like melon. Bubbles appear on the chirori. Dry mouthfeel with more alcohol than sweetness and acidity. The sweetness spreads slowly with the stimulation of carbonation, but it is cut off dryly. The aftertaste is bitter and full-bodied. The clean finish and the length of the aftertaste are impressive. The contrast with Tamitsu, which was bought together, is interesting. As time passed, the sake opened up and changed to a sweet and sour taste spreading on the palate. It was delicious even when the temperature was raised.
