Collection Review 88
After being so impressed with Kamo Nishiki, this was the sake to drink. I opened the bottle thinking that Abe would not lose to the excitement, and it turned out to be a great decision!
It has alcohol, and maybe a hint of minerality, which I am sure is just my imagination. Fresh citrus notes of lemon, lime, and a hint of muscat or some other light fruit note. And maybe a hint of melon? I'm not sure if it's melon or something else, but it's a nice touch.
The acidity is well balanced and keeps the sweetness in check. It is like a rum with a meal. It is delicious both chilled and at room temperature.
Like the standing aroma, the fruitiness is rather strong. Banana, citrus, muscatel, melon, fresh fruit...it may be somewhat like Senkou.
I paired it with 1) Japanese salad of molokheiya, ume plum and shiso leaves, 2) fried eggplant with sesame oil, and 3) fried pork and fresh ginger.
I paired it with the following. It is quite good with eggplant and pork. It cuts the oil and fat of stir-fry and meat moderately. I added vinegar to (1) and it is not so bad with it.
As the label says, it is a sake that you will never get tired of drinking. It is a little more Senkou-like than the standard sake, but it also has an aberrancy and a refreshing fruitiness that I like.
