Yamada Nishiki
Rice polishing ratio: 40
Purchased at Nagaoka station during a business trip to Niigata.
It is a Kamo Nishiki sake sold only in Niigata Prefecture.
When served in a glass, it has fine bubbles. It has a slight gaseous sensation, with a noticeable acidity that makes the tip of the tongue churn.
It is a beautiful dry sake with a fruity yet bitter aftertaste.
I had it with sukiyaki, but it went better with rice with bamboo shoots.
